What the hell?! That’s unacceptable. Hopefully the monster who did that is brought to justice IMMEDIATELY.

Very, very sad and troubling. I hope her family has the support they need for comfort and justice🥹

[CTrevor]

How the fck can that happen on a military base?? Disgusting

[BarrierIsland]

This sounds like the Vanessa Guillen case again at Ft. Hood, TX. Sexual assault and murder keep happening and it's not being addressed by the Military or Dept. of Veteran Affairs...

[ClevorBelmont]

All she wanted to do was serve her country. RIP Sgt.

[willykeyman]

It happened exactly the same incident at Ft. Bliss. I am so sorry to both soldiers.

Father, I fervently pray that authorities identify, apprehend and prosecute this murderer quickly. I also ask that you yourself embrace this family as they go through this hellish nightmare.

[phyllischaffin]

Who killed her and threw her away like trash? Shameful. RIP 🙏

My prayers that justice will be served for this grieving family...and the community.

Horrible. Heart goes to the bereaved family.

Serving in the military, doesnt automatically mean you're a good person...a uniform on a pos person is just that, A UNIFORM ON A POS PERSON...

[williamcarlile]

I hope there is a follow-up to your story. We need to know what and why this tragedy happened.

This is why I refused to let military recruiters talk to my daughters…it’s just too dangerous for females, and I DON’T MEAN COMBAT!

[JanetProtasiewicz-vufl]

So horrible; so sad. Prayers and condolences go out to this soldier's family and friends; and her military brothers and sisters. ❤🙏🙏
