What happened to Vanessa Guillen?

According to a report by nytimes.com, specialist Vanessa Guillen was last seen on April 22 around noon in the parking lot of her squadron’s headquarters at Fort Hood. During the investigation, it was found that the last person she texted was U.S. Army Specialist Aaron Robinson.

According to Special Agent Damon Phelps of the Criminal Investigation Command, Robinson was not superior to Vanessa Guillen and he was not in her chain of command. A witness had mentioned that Vanessa Guillen left the arms room where she was working and went to the arms room which was controlled by Robinson. She had gone there to confirm serial numbers for weapons and equipment, the complaint said.

Robinson later said that after he read her the serial numbers and giving her the paperwork, he believed she left to go to the motor pool, according to court documents. According to the complaint, two witnesses later shared that they had seen Robinson coming out of the arms room as he was pulling a large tough box with wheels that appeared to be very heavy in weight.
