The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command has confirmed a junior soldier tied to the disappearance of Fort Hood solider Vanessa Guillen shot and killed himself as police moved in to make an arrest overnight.
A civilian, who is the estranged wife of a former soldier, is also in custody, according to the Army. The attorney and family of Guillen said early Wednesday that a third suspect was also in custody, although officials have not confirmed this detail.
Authorities have also not released any of the suspects' names.
At Wednesday morning's emotional press conference in Washington, D.C., the Guillen family said, while not yet confirmed, they believe the human remains found during a search the day before are that of Guillen's. The 20-year-old was last seen on April 22 in a parking lot at Fort Hood, and she has not been heard from since, the Army said.
Guillen's sister said Wednesday morning that she had previously met the suspect who killed himself, and she "could tell" something was not right about him. She said the man laughed in her face as the search for Guillen was still underway.

At Wednesday morning's press conference, Khawam named the suspect who took his own life, but authorities have not yet confirmed the name.
“The person of interest was an active duty soldier, and his name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin,” said Killeen PD Chief Charles F. Kimble.
I don't know how much culpability the military has in this investigation but the family of the victim and the mainstream media have framed the narrative the military was involved in either a cover-up and kept the family in the dark or failed to take the investigation seriously.
'We need a law in her name'.
Probably not. Local police and sheriff's department answer to local politicians who will want to shape the story to their own advantage. The Army's CID do not answer to them and operate in considerable secrecy. In my experience, the local press will note this difference and jump to conclusions that clearly a cover up is afoot. Remarkable stupidity and ignorance can occur.
I thought his name was already out there. Sgt Allen
And I think the wife of the other individual as well as his name were already out there too... I just cant recall it off the top of my head.
Per FreeRepublic, it’s Sgts Wheeler and Robinson for the suspects. http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3861029/posts
Thanks for the clarification.
Not a stray bullet
“1 suspect kills self, ex-wife of former soldier in custody in disappearance of Vanessa Guillen, Fort Hood says.”
Yikes! I guess J-Schools no longer teach editing...
