Sunday human remains found in a shallow Texas grave were positively identified as US Army specialist Vanessa Guillen, according to a family attorney.
According to the US Army criminal investigation command, 20, has been missing since April and was last seen in the parking lot of her barracks at Fort Hood in Texas.
Officials identified the main suspect in Guillen’s disappearance as specialist Aaron David Robinson who shot himself Wednesday after being confronted by police.
The attorney says Guillen had planned to file a sexual harassment complaint against Robinson.
According to the family attorney, they believe Robinson became enraged when she told him that.
Investigators believe Robinson bludgeoned her to death with a hammer in the armory room of Fort Hood.
The attorney said investigators told the family that Robinson called his estranged wife Cecily Aguilar to help him dispose of Guillen’s body.
Aguilar was arrested in connection with Guillen’s disappearance and is awaiting charges.
