Morta had been an army soldier since last September, when he joined Bradley as a combat vehicle mechanic. According to Fort Hood officials, he was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Armoured Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division.

Morta’s awards and decorations include the World War Counter-Terrorism Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Army Service Tape.

“The Black Knight’s circle of relatives is in fact saddened by the tragic loss of PVT Mejhor Morta,” Armstrong said in a press release. “I would like to extend my sincere condolences to your circle of family, friends and people you have enjoyed. My mind and prayers are with them at this difficult time.

“PVT Morta is a wonderful soldier and this loss is felt through all the members of our training.

KCEN-TV reported that Morta’s colleagues remembered him Wednesday at a memorial service held in Fort Hood. Morta buried in Pensacola last week.

“Mejhor has brought honor, dignity and respect to our nation,” Armstrong said at the memorial, according to the news station. “He was a patriot who volunteered to serve our wonderful country and we will be grateful for his unwavering determination to his family, friends, and fellow soldiers. In fact, it was remarkable and this loss makes us all suffer.”

Guillén, whose disappearance and death made national news and prompted sexual harassment investigations at Fort Hood, disappeared on April 22 from the base, where she served as a small arms repairman and artillery for the 3rd Cavalry Regiment.

First, authorities said That 20-year-old Guillén of Houston was last seen in the parking lot of the regiment’s engineering squadron headquarters.

“His car keys, the key to the barracks, his car identity and his wallet were later discovered in the armory where he was running the day before,” said a CID press release. “She last noticed him wearing a black T-shirt and purple fitness pants.”

Guillén’s circle of relatives and his lawyer said the missing soldier told them she had been sexually harassed at Fort Hood.

Fort Hood officials said at a news convention that investigators had been unable to corroborate their claims. An investigation is underway into the implementation of the Sexual Assault and Harassment Intervention and Prevention Program, or SHARP.

Major General Scott Efflandt, Deputy Commander of the Iii Corps, said the investigation includes an assessment of “whether the command’s climate is favorable to report incidents of sexual harassment and sexual assault” and identify any systemic disorders with the SHARP program.

Guillén’s remains were buried on June 30 in several shallow tombs about 30 miles from the base. Investigators locked up the dismembered soldier in concrete and buried him in various locations in Belton, along the Lion River.

Hours after the grisly discovery, as U.S. marshals and Killeen police approached a suspect, the man, a young active-duty soldier, pointed a gun and pulled the trigger. CPS Aaron David Robinson, 20, pronounced dead on the scene on a street in Killeen.

Robinson’s civilian girlfriend, Cecily Anne Aguilar, 22, of Killeen, is charged with conspiracy to falsify evidence, according to the U.S. District Attorney for the Western District of Texas. Aguilar is accused of helping Robinson cut Guillén’s body with a machete and an axe, burn his remains and bury them.

Vanessa Guillen A federal affidavit filed on July 2, 2020 marks the murder and dismemberment of the far-left Army SPC Vanessa Guillén through fellow SPC soldier Aaron Robinson, center, and girlfriend, Cecily Aguilar. Robinson killed himself while the government was trying to arrest him. Aguilar is charged with federal offenses similar to Guillén’s death on April 22 (U.S. Army, Bell County Jail).

Unlike Fernandes, Guillén had not reported his accusations to the base officials. But her disappearance has led to investigations into sexual harassment at the base, as well as calls for a congressional investigation into how her disappearance and death were handled.

Authorities said Robinson beat Guillén to death in a weapons room at the base and took his body in a sturdy plastic box. Burnt pieces of the case were discovered near the burial along the Leon River.

Brother Fernandes reported that it was almost a year after Morales disappeared on August 20, 2019. Sapulpa, 23, from Oklahoma, who a few days after the army’s liberation, disappeared after an evening with friends in Killeen.

Morales’ oil remains were discovered on June 19, days before Guillén’s body was determined in a box about 4 miles from the base. His death is being investigated as murder and his mother, Kim Wedel, told investigators that he was shot in the face.

Wedel criticized the army officers, who declared Morales deserted after his disappearance. Only after Guillén’s disappearance, and an upcoming eulogy for the details of his whereabouts, Fort Hood presented the same praise for Morales’ disappearance.

The lead that led to the government’s remains came a few days later.

“The military let him down by watching,” Wedel told The Washington Post. “They just assumed the worst and let him down.

Wedel last spoke to her son on August 19, 2019, when he called her to ask for fuel money, he told the Post. According to army officers, it was also the last day he noticed it alive, driving his black Kia Rio out of the base at Killeen.

He went to a club and met friends that night, his mother said.

The Kia de Morales was later discovered deserted and a month after its disappearance, it was listed as AWOL or absent without official permission. His call was then added to the army’s official list of deserters.

Despite the almost daily incentives of their circle of relatives, the army has done little to look for Morales, his relatives said. Wedel told the Army Times that his circle of relatives had learned that he was an adult and that there was no evidence that something serious had happened to him.

“The evidence is that he disappeared. He didn’t have cash and didn’t answer the phone. There’s something wrong,” Wedel told the army publication. “Kind of ignored.”

When Morales’ remains were found, Wedel said his son had broken down in the field, with dust and debris covering his remains as they sank on the floor over time. Morales’ garments were shredded and scattered, he said.

Olivares’ girlfriend, Starllita Hidalgo Falcon, 37, of Killeen, is accused of obstructing the prosecution and unauthorized use of a vehicle.

“These other two people had become friends with my son, and the week before (the murder) had been killing my son,” Rosecrans’ father, Thomas Berg Sr., told Fox 7.

Police officers said the investigation made us think Rosecrans and Olivares were traveling together in the soldier’s Jeep when Rosecrans died. Its chassis got rid of the Jeep and left in the look of the road.

Cell phone data, videos and eyewitness statements amassed the two men in the area of the murder. The reason for the shooting remains unclear, the news station reported.

Authorities said Olivares’ story continued to change when he told detectives he had left Rosecrans living near his Jeep, and then told them that another guy had shot the soldier on his way back from San Antonio.

Olivares claimed the guy had used his weapon, a 9mm Ruger, which he said had sold the unnamed user. According to Fox 7, the government discovered messages between Olivares and some other users related to the gun industry. The user interested in the proposed industry, not the type that was blamed through Olivares for the death of Rosecrans.

Olivares then told detectives that he killed Rosecrans because the soldier had tried to rape Falcón, the news station reported. Falcon told the police that the allegations were true.

In his speech to the detectives, Falcón said Olivares had talked about the sale of the weapon and an imaginable theft of Rosecrans because Olivares “was looking for more than Rosecrans sought to give.”

Olivares waited until Rosecrans slept to kill him, Falcón told authorities. According to Fox 7, police and firefighters discovered that the passenger seat of the soldier’s Jeep was absolutely tilted.

An obvious bullet hole uncovered in the passenger’s back door, the news station reported.

“Unfortunately, we will probably never have the genuine answer or the truth. But we know that our son is just looking to be friends with someone to have something happen to him and that breaks our hearts,” Berg said.

Berg told the station that Olivares and Falcón had used their son’s mobile phone after his murder.

“They used my son’s phone after killing him to ask his friends for cash for gas,” Berg said.

One of Rosecrans’ friends responded and sent $10 to the Cash app.

“They used it as gasoline to burn his car,” Berg said.

Rosecrans joined the army in May 2018 as a quartermaster and repairman of chemical equipment, according to Fort Hood officials. He had been assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division’s Armoured Combat Brigade since November 2018.
