Vanessa Guillen was a 20-year-old American soldier posted at Fort Hood, Texas, who went missing in April 2020. Guillen was seen in the parking lot at Regimental Engineer Squadron Headquarters, 3rd Cavalry Regiment, on the Fort Hood base. Her car keys, ID card, wallet, and barracks key were later found at her work. Human remains were found on April 22, 2020, in shallow graves near where she disappeared, and it was later confirmed to be Vanessa Guillen. Her dismembered body was buried along the Leon River – close to the Fort Hood military base where the soldier was last seen. Texas Equusearch's Tim Miller told the KHOU 11 News: ...It appears he buried her, put lime on her, mixed up concrete, put that over her, put dirt over her, rocks and stuff.... It was later confirmed the victim had been bludgeoned to death with a hammer inside the armory. After the remains were found, authorities interviewed Cecily Aguilar as she was reported to be Robinson's girlfriend at the time.  She told police that Robinson had confessed to killing Vanessa, and officers asked her to phone him so that they could record the call.  Aguilar told him ...Baby, they found pieces... and sent him several news articles \- to which he denied nothing. Robinson escaped custody on June 30 and fled Fort Hood after hearing his victim's remains had been found.  On July 1, 2020, Killeen police found the suspect but before they could apprehend him, he fatally shot himself with a handgun. Aguilar is now the only person charged in connection with the murder of Vanessa. She attempted to dismiss her 11 count indictment but the motion was dismissed by a federal judge in January 2022, after admitting mutilating and hiding Vanessa's body. The indictment charged one count of conspiracy to tamper with documents or proceedings, two counts of tampering with documents or proceedings, three counts of accessory after the fact, one count of destruction, alteration or falsification of records in a federal investigation and four counts of false statement or representation. Aguilar was also indicted for her alleged involvement with Army Specialist and her then-boyfriend Aaron Robinson, in dismembering Guillen's body before her remains were buried. Aguilar has been in McLennan County jail since her arrest in July 2020.  The 24-year-old awaits her trial, with jury selection due to start on January 23, 2023.  If convicted, the defendant will face up to 20 years in prison with a maximum $250,000 fine. What has Vanessa Guillen's family said about her murder? In their first sit-down interview after the discovery of Vanessa's body, the family spoke to Eyewitness News in Houston. Rogelio and Gloria were joined by their two daughters Mayra and Lupe. Gloria branded the Fort Hood leaders ...clowns in a circus... and claimed they lied to her. Lupe told ABC: ...She was taken away from me in the most horrible way, yet they take it as if it was a joke. ...My sister is no joke. My sister's a human being just like me, her, all of us.... ...Speak about it, because we cannot let this happen again. She added: ...My sister was taken away. She could have been your sister, your friend.... Vanessa's other sister Mayra said: ...I still can't accept it to be honest with you, it's been really like I'm dreaming, and I just don't accept it. ...It's been really hard.... Gloria has since spoken out about the death of her daughter and told the American Statesman: ...My heart will always be sad. I will never be the same ever again because I'm missing one of my children. ...My life changed, and not just for me but for my children. It's going to be a year, and I haven't found justice.... Rogelio has said he experienced physical pain on the day Vanessa disappeared and believes that was the moment she was killed. He told 20/20: ...After lunch, after 12pm, I felt a strong pain in my chest. ...Never in my life have I felt something like that. "It was at that moment when they did that cruel thing."
