I was unaware, but just did some reading on it.  Pretty terrible story SSG.  Sounds like a lot of questions still out there, but very few answers.  I couldn't find anything reliable that says the DoD is seriously looking into this, but it appears from the parents own FOIA acts that there is more to there story then the current official report.  I feel terrible for the parents that they had to request through FOIA to see graphic pictures of the crime scene and their daughters body.... hopefully they get the closure they're seeking.

I don't know much about it but have seen a couple articles. It's horrible what happened to this young Soldier and my heart goes out to her Family. I really hope they get the answers they are looking for so they can have some sort of closure.
