The Army has named a four-star general to head an 'in-depth investigation' into how the chain of command at Fort Hood handled a large number of disappearances and deaths, including that of Spc. Vanessa Guillen.
Guillen's remains were found more than two months after she disappeared from the installation and was killed, allegedly by a fellow soldier. Guillen's family has claimed that Fort Hood officials failed to properly inform the family about the investigation into her disappearance and did not seem to take seriously their allegations that the 20-year-old soldier was hesitant to report claims of sexual harassment by one of her superiors.
Murray's investigation will bundle most of the ongoing inquiries underway at Fort Hood into one, but an independent review of the command climate and culture at Fort Hood will remain separate. The five civilians conducting that review arrived at Fort Hood on Monday and are slated to present their findings in late October.
"The numbers are bad and we need to make some adjustments because we're very concerned," said McCarthy.
