Army Suspects Foul Play in Disappearance; Missing Soldier Had Filed Sexual Harassment Claim

KILLEEN, Texas (AP) – An official has confirmed that U.S. Army investigators suspect foul play in the disappearance of a Texas soldier who has been missing for two months.

Family attorney Natalie Khawam told reporters that 20-year old Private 1st Class Vanessa Gillen filed a sexual harassment claim against a sergeant who allegedly entered a shower while she was naked before her disappearance:

Kwahan joined U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia and Gillen’s family for a news conference Tuesday at Fort Hood. Guillen’s family met with Army leaders to discuss the investigation into the disappearance of the 20-year-old Fort Hood soldier.  

Guillen’s disappearance is being treated as a criminal investigation after she went missing April 22.

Guillen’s mother threated to shut down Fort Hood if her daughter was not found alive:
