‘Extensive search’ continues for missing soldier in Texas after keys, wallet found

Agents at a U.S. military post in Texas are searching for a soldier who has been missing for three days.

Private First Class Vanessa Guillen, 20, was last seen Wednesday afternoon in a parking lot at Fort Hood, where she’s stationed, wearing a black T-shirt.

“Her car keys, barracks room key, identification card and wallet were later found in the armory room where she was working earlier in the day,” officials said in a press release.

Friends and family of Guillen have flooded their social media accounts with pleas to the public to contact the authorities if anyone has any information.

Mayra Guillen wrote on a Facebook post that her sister’s phone was last tracked on Belton, Texas, about 20 minutes away from where she was last seen. Neither her boyfriend or relatives have heard from her since she disappeared, she said.

“Please help me find my girlfriend,” Guillen’s boyfriend, Juan Cruz, tweeted on Friday. “Please anything helps.”

“An extensive search is underway by military members, as well as civilian and military police,” authorities said. Special agents from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command are also involved in the search.

Did the two missing soldiers know each other?

Good question. They marked him AWOL/Deserter, but...

"He was days away from being processed out of the Army when he vanished."

A family has been looking for a missing Fort Hood soldier for nearly 6 months. He was days away from being processed out of the Army when he vanished.

Why do you need to go AWOL when you're days away from being out. I mean yes, it's a possibility. And he could have left for entirely different reasons. But still odd IMO.

In some articles about this case, underneath people have a lot to say about Fort Hood. I won't share it as it isn't confirmed but even when this case first became known to me, Fort Hood instantly rang bells with other things, cases, talk, etc.

The fact this man disappeared right before he would have been processed out just logically is odd.

Not saying anything is wrong, but there is enough rumor out there about this base to wonder. Most are seriously asking about the lack of cameras as well.

Jmo.

Self harm maybe? I always get nervous when ID, wallet, etc. are left behind.

More than 3 weeks later, missing Fort Hood soldier's family awaits answers

More than 3 weeks later, missing Fort Hood soldier’s family awaits answers

It’s been more than three weeks of agony for the family of U.S. Army Pfc. Vanessa Guillen, a soldier last seen at Fort Hood near Killeen.

Mayra Guillen, the soldier’s older sister who lives in Houston, said she and her family have yet to receive any information regarding the disappearance.



Mayra Guillen said because investigators have yet to provide any theories regarding her younger sister’s disappearance, she has tried to work out a few of her own.

She said she believes it is highly unlikely that Vanessa disappeared on her own. Her sister showed no signs of suicidal behaviors or conflicts between family or her friends, Mayra Guillen told the American-Statesman.

She said her sister was very loyal to the chain of command in the U.S. Army, so if someone did take her it could have been a supervisor.

“It would have been obvious if she was forced into a vehicle,” Mayra Guillen said, noting her sister was last seen in the middle of a workday. “It had to have been someone she couldn’t say no to. I’m asking to investigate her chain of command.”

U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command officials last week declined to comment on the investigation, saying they had no new information to release.


Mayra Guillen said because it appears officials are only searching on base, investigators must believe she never left.

Vanessa Guillen’s sister said investigators have deemed false previous reports that the soldier’s phone was last tracked at a tower in Belton.

Hmmm. I too would think the place would be looked at from the outside in, by no one involved at the base, in a full investigation as one of many parts of a serious investigation. It is far from the first questionable thing/case there. And maybe it was some stranger abduction, bf, etc. BUT the chain of command, etc, and the base also deserves a serious independent look. Imo.

 

[GrandmaBear]

This case is too quiet, just saw it mentioned on a podcast and the family has been given absolutely no info, etc. The podcast also mentioned again how many people missing from Fort Hood...

This case deserves some attention. This place and other cases related to it need to be solved as well. Can you imagine your adult child going missing and no apparent searches or investigation?? I mean maybe there is but there sure are no signs of it that we have seen.

From the https://findvanessaguillen.com page;

Three weeks before I disappeared, my mom asked me why I seemed different. My mom knows me better than anyone else. She noticed I had become withdrawn and that I wasn’t able to sleep like I used to.

I finally told my mom that I was being sexually harassed by one of my sergeants on Fort Hood. My mom tried tried to convince me to give her the name of the person who was harassing me, but I didn’t want to get in trouble. My mom told me that she would report it for me, but I told her that I knew of other female soldiers that had reported sexual harassment and that the US Army didn’t believe them. I told my mom how the same sergeant that sexually harassed me would follow me whenever I would run and exercise and how uncomfortable it made me feel. My mom told me she would put a stop to it, but I told her I would take care of it myself. I felt I could put a stop to it myself. All I had to do was do something, say something. I was ready to take care of it.

Family of missing Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen asking for federal investigation

The Guillen family is also asking anyone with information to reach out.

Family of missing Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen asking for federal investigation

On day 50 of the fight to find Pfc. Vanessa Guillen, Mayra Guillen shared a message for her sister who she “strongly” believes is alive.

“Just hold on, you’re gonna be back home to continue with your plans,” she said at a press conference Wednesday in Houston.

Vanessa Guillen’s longtime friend Frida Hernandez says the 20-year-old soldier had plans to go to college to study kinesiology after the Army. Everything was put on hold when the Houston woman disappeared from Fort Hood on April 22.



The Guillen family is asking anyone with information to reach out. “I feel that someone has to have seen something on a base where 40,000 plus soldiers reside,” Mayra Guillen said.

The family is also asking for a change of investigators. As of Wednesday, the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command, known as CID, was leading the investigation. Mayra Guillen says she wishes the FBI would take the lead. Hernandez started a petition calling on the federal government to take action.

“It happened inside of a federal building, military base and we still don’t get answers as to who, what, where exactly, and why,” Mayra Guillen said.

“I don't want this to keep happening. If it already happened to one soldier, my sister was the next one, whose gonna be the third one?" said Mayra Guillen.

I am glad to see this. I don't know what it will take but I hope they are pushing this on social media and while some podcasters have covered it, it is hard for them to have much to say when there is no news. Hopefully they can find one or two with a lot of views to push this and ask why there are no apparent searches, etc.? Get it publicly loud so to speak.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I am not always a fan of celebrities getting involved in some things but in this case I am all for it. She believes the info about the superior and so do I. This case needs a big push and some major attention imo.
