COVER TRACKS Horror motive for soldier's murder emerges after she was beaten & dismembered 
BRUTAL MURDER Vanessa Guillen's fiancé found out she'd been dismembered on Twitter Robinson, 20, later would flee Fort Hood when Vanessa's remains were found and fatally shoot himself when law enforcement tried to apprehend him in Killeen. His girlfriend Cecily Aguilar is due to go on trial in January after she was indicted on 11 charges for allegedly helping him dismember and bury Vanessa's body. Revealing the shocking details of her first time meeting Robinson, Mayra explained: "When I initially arrived on base, there was a group of about 10 soldiers waiting on my arrival. "He was within that group of soldiers, and it seemed odd because he was the only person that stayed quiet while everybody else either greeted me or appeared to be worried about my sister's disappearance.

"When I went to make the police report with the military police, I found out that he had been called in because they were calling each and every person that either was last seen with Vanessa, last spoke with her, last dealt with her, and he was one of the people who were called in. "We had to sit across a small room area from each other. "Obviously, I was furious at the time. I was very upset, I wasn't thinking clearly, but the moment that I saw him, I felt as if he was hiding something. "He knew something, he was guilty of something and my intuition didn't lie to me. "Sure enough, as soon as he was called in, he got out that conference room and he looked at me and just laughed and walked out the door. "My suspicions were later confirmed regarding him when he was accused and killed himself." When Vanessa first vanished, Mayra and her younger sister Lupe, then 16, launched a campaign to find their sibling. It sparked an online movement under the hashtag #IAmVanessaGuillen, with females in the military coming forward with their own stories of sexual harassment and assault. According to the documentary, there was more than one individual higher up the chain of command that was making Vanessa feel uncomfortable at work. Her mom Gloria, 44, also told the filmmakers that Vanessa had admitted to her that she suffered sexual harassment at Fort Hood. With the help of lawyer Natalie Khawam, Mayra went on to successfully campaign for the I am Vanessa Guillen Act of 2020. The legislation, which was signed into law by President Joe Biden last year, addresses the response of the Department of Defense to sex-related offenses committed against members of the Armed Forces. It allows a member to confidentially allege a complaint of sexual harassment to an individual outside the immediate chain of command of the complainant.

She explained: "It is just so hard to be able to get any type of justice based on the laws that protect the military. "This is the reason why we introduced legislation because there was no other solution to the problem. "Hopefully, we'll get to further extend Vanessa's legacy by introducing more legislation that would focus on why these perpetrators can't be held accountable. "Why are there so many layers protecting them? Why is it swept under the rug constantly? "One of my goals is to be able to bring to light the name of the aggressor. "We could never share his name, who he is, which is a shame because the public deserves to know what kind of people were making my sister's life nearly impossible. "From my knowledge and from what I was able to find out, there were three aggressors at different times and different places all throughout Vanessa's career that sexually harassed and assaulted her. "All she wanted to do was serve and serve proudly, but unfortunately, she got that taken away from her." Asked how she remembers her sister, Mayra said she was community-minded and always willing to help others. Mayra explained: "She was a very active person and just a very sweet soul that, for some reason, had that bravery to decide that she would join the military. "She wanted to go to Germany, but she never got the chance. She just had that one obsession. "She would always tell me: ...I want to go to Germany.' "I guess she had heard good things about it, and she really wanted to go there. "She was denied that dream because of what happened to her." Mayra also spoke of the "huge emotional toll" that Vanessa's death has taken on their Mexican immigrant parents, Rogelio, 45, and Gloria, 44. She said: "I'm not a mother, so I can't imagine what a parent feels when they lose a child. "It's been slow progress and although they are trying to get back to a quote-unquote normal life, I feel like there is no normality after something like this. "But they've been very supportive of what we've done to create Vanessa's legacy. Read More on The US Sun
