"A US army soldier has been charged with murder in the death of a fellow service member at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, the military announced Thursday.
The army office of Special Trial Counsel charged the 21-year-old specialist Wooster Rancy on Wednesday with murder and obstructing justice in the death of 23-year-old Sgt Sarah Roque.
Originally from Ligonier, Indiana, Roque worked as a mine-detecting dog handler – was reported missing 20 October. Her body was discovered in a trash bin on the base two days later.
Roque is at least the third Hispanic female US army soldier to be murdered in a high-profile case since 2020."

This has gotten no traction and it's disgusting that no one seems to care about our women servicemembers being slaughtered, let alone women of color. Murdered and her body shoved in a trash dumpster...ON the base. Does anyone care? Nope. Of course not.
Hopefully they don't let this guy out of her sight like they did Guillen's killer.

This is horrendous, but a confirmation about a sad part of society. Many murders are not committed by a stranger, but by someone that the victim already knows. A fellow service member is more likely to kill a someone in uniform while garrisoned than someone outside. Same principle for civilians...
