A Texas soldier missing since April was killed by another soldier on the same military installation where they served, the lawyer for her family said Thursday.
Spc. Vanessa Guillen was killed April 22, the day of her disappearance, by Spc. Aaron David Robinson inside an armory room where she was working on Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, attorney Natalie Khawam said during a news briefing.
Khawam said she met with officials with the Army Criminal Investigation Command who provided her with the information, the Army Times reported.
VANESSA GUILLEN'S BODY FOUND, FELLOW SOLDIER KILLED SELF, ANOTHER SUSPECT IN CUSTODY: FAMILY LAWYER
Both Guillen, who entered the Army in 2018 as a small arms repairer, and Robinson, also 20, were assigned to the 3rd Cavalry Regiment’s engineer squadron but were on different troops.
Guillen, who was promoted from private first class to specialist on Wednesday due to her time in service, was allegedly attacked with a hammer and dismembered with a machete.
Robinson allegedly had his married girlfriend, the estranged wife of a former Fort Hood soldier, help bury her "bloody body," Khawam said.
“At first they tried to set her on fire, but she wouldn’t burn," she told the Times. "Then they dismembered this beautiful U.S. soldier’s body with a machete.”

Partial human remains suspected to be Guillen were found Tuesday near the Leon River, about 26 miles east of the base. A medical examiner in Dallas still was working to identify the remains.

Yes as she’s the only one left alive likely who knew...... Still there’s some confusion if orange head was Robinsons ex or the ex of another Hood Soldier, terrible writers on this case and loads of unanswered questions.
Plano police had to put down a woman last week. Still no name or pictures. Of course, the cops there do have a history of saving the taxpayers money, so no one is complaining.
DA's not very entergetic down there. Some locals were murdered a few years ago. It's well know who the killer is, and there was plenty of evidence. Any easy case. But since the killer was locked up for other things, no effort to prosecute and the killer enjoying life and top level medical care at taxpayer expense.
The military does not use Ar15 to M16 conversion kits. The military has M16/M4 lower receivers that hold real M16/M4 trigger groups. These trigger groups will not fit in a civilian AR15 the receivers are designed to be incompatible as are the civilian bolt carrier groups.
You can modify a civilian AR15 lower receiver by drilling the dreaded “third hole” the drilling of such a hole is a 25 year federal felony and there’s not tax stamp for it as any modern drilling would be a post 1986 and a felony. Even with the third hole you need a full auto conpatable M16 bolt carrier which are not regulated but most manufacturers use civilian bolt carriers that have a cut out where the sear would interface.
I did 2 years my last 2 as a CID agent and was our units armory back up I have stripped uncountable numbers of M4s down to components it’s not easy at all to turn a AR15 into a real M16 you need a drill jig at the very least and the ATF will throw you under the jail just for drilling the hole, it’s an additional charge to posses the trigger groups and yet another charge to have the sear given that both the trigger groups and the sear are EACH considered a machine gun you get two 25 year charges plus the constructive intent charge an additional 25 years. Is 75 years of federal time worth it...
Having been signed for three arms rooms, I'm quite aware of that. I was using the term, "conversion kit" not as a property book item or an NSN item, but merely in terms of potential parts that could be pilfered from a unit arms room by -20 (organizational) or -30 (DS) level maintainers and introduced to a black market where the mods could readily be made.
Yes, the penalties for modifications, possession, etc are very severe. That's precisely why I posited that as a possible alternative theory to SPC Guillen stumbling across a drug operation. If she found herself unwittingly involved in, or threatened to expose the diversion of components, the steep penalties would be a possible motive for her murder.
Thanks for the helpful information, lest anyone should be contemplating such a thing...
Vanessa was beaten to death with a hammer. Very violent death. Where are the protests? Where is the media demanding that all black soldiers be all held responsible?
crickets.
There are SJWs on fakebook spinning this into a systemic or institutional problem.
They are going to use this to go after the military just like they’re trying to go after the police, mark my words.
