alleging what her family had feared from the beginning: Guillen had been murdered on the base by a fellow soldier and buried near the river.
Guillen's family believes her death was linked to sexual harassment she said she was enduring on base. Now they are pushing for congressional legislation to create an independent agency for soldiers who are victims of sexual harassment and assault.

CarlaRK3 They need to remove all the leadership of this base and charge them as accessories. The fact that these people not only discouraged but created a hostile reporting regime encouraged the continuance of sexual violence on the base. There is no redemption for these people.
ReignOfApril Oh, the military has found no connection between her sexual harassment and her murder? Fuck them.
I'm sure if we all stand at attention during the national anthem, everything will be okay. No reforms needed. Just look that flag dead straight in the stars while you STAND and sing! Honor the troops!
Way to go FBI.🙄
They charged a dead man? The FBI again wins the Donald Trump Uselessness in Government Award.
Military talks a line about sexual harassment but in actuality nothing has changed. Ignore, hide, shame, punish women who dare to report. I was an Army wife and I thank God that granddaughter who came very close to joining changed her mind.
Seems convenient that suspect is now dead, wondering what is the rest of the story...
For all other branches of the military, their law enforcement bodies are civilian agencies outside the military population, except for the Army. Why is the body designated for oversight not outside of the Army and held to account for the actions of soldiers.
USArmy you have failed. Aren't there enough people trying to kill our military without you helping them out? Integrity is not something you should be talking about. thank you for reporting. Give them no rest, no quarter until the truth is out.
No victim shaming. But there can be no official investigation into workplace sexual harassment if no one is willing to file a complaint. Complaining to your family, friends, and coworkers is not enough. You must be willing to go on the record!
They probably didn't want to be accused of institutional racism.
Accusations of ingroup wrong-doing, as in the case of a man’s sexual harassment of a woman, may pose a threat to men’s sense of their gender group as moral. To reduce this threat, men may afford male perpetrators the benefit of the doubt
One of the primary reasons women don’t come forward to report sexual harassment is fear of retaliation. She must have suffered from pain and misery due to the brutality of the attack. May her soul rest in peace
It’s comes from the local leadership & toxic work culture whether in the military or outside the civilian sector.
Women think they have rights in the United Snakes of Amerikkka. Sister, you ain't never been to China. That's all I gotta say.
Defund police. Good luck.
Vanessa didn't know who to turn to and was afraid of retaliation so she tried dealing with a situation, on her own, that she should never have been in and it cost her her life. There needs to be justice for Vanessa!
so sad and tragic! yes the military did fail her, as her sister claims!
RIP Vanessa
Because...yes.
This thing stinks to high heaven, especially when you consider the other 8 mysterious deaths surrounding Ft. Hood in the last year. Something weird is going on here.
Rest In Peace Vanessa
this is absolutely heartbreaking. people are so sick ... speechless
God bless you mija❤, your family and friends! There's a petition to close this facility, i urge people to sign, to the soldiers that experience any type of sexual harassmenten, men or women, I urge you to speak your truth! I GOT UR 6
Where is his photo?
Damn. 😞💔
See the documentary “The Invisible War.”
Hence the me2movement. Women must stand together against men who demean and hurt us.
This is a known issue in the military. It is sad that nothing has changed since I served. When I was active duty we knew we would be harassed and likely raped at least once. The most we could do was either report it get discharged or bargain for no shift work, better assignment
😂
She disappeared in APRIL !!! The Army and civilian law enforcement didn't start looking for her until Salma Hyak posted about her being missing. That happened in JUNE. WTF 😡😡
Crying for her and her family - how can the US let deaths like this happen and NOT be accountable - Hold her memories close ❤️🇨🇦
Heartbreaking 💔
They should have all women military bases. Or, women should just refuse to serve.
AWKWARD. See how the media lies to you
Disheartening 💔.
too little too late
Took them 3 days to charge a dead man. 3 days!!!
