Vanessa Guillen

This isn’t going to be one of my usual posts, which are usually strictly factual. I try my best to be unbiased in my write-ups but I have a lot to say about this case and I think it’s important to discuss it.

For those who don’t know, here’s a brief recap: Vanessa was a 20 year-old soldier and she was stationed at Fort Hood--an Army base in Killeen, Texas. She mysteriously vanished on April 22nd. Just weeks before she disappeared, Vanessa told her family members that she was being sexually harassed by a male sergeant. She also said that other female soldiers had reported the same man for sexual harassment as well, and that their complaints were ignored. Then all of a sudden, Vanessa disappears. Flash forward to two months later, and investigators find her partial remains near the Leon River. She had been brutally murdered, dismembered, and cement was poured on her body in an attempt to hide her.

Aaron Robinson, a male soldier stationed at Fort Hood, was quickly identified as a suspect. When authorities approached him, he shot himself in the head, killing himself. His girlfriend, Cecily Aguilar, was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence in the case---aka, she helped Aaron dispose of Vanessa’s body.

I don’t think anyone is surprised to learn that a man killed Vanessa. We’ve all seen crime statistics, we know that women are more likely to be killed by men than the reverse. But the fact that she was killed on the military base where she worked each day, where she and other women were experiencing sexual harassment...it’s just yet another example of how terribly women in the military are treated.

We’re told to respect the men who fight for our country. We’re told to appreciate them and thank them for their service. But these men have shown time and time again that they do not respect or care for the women who are doing the exact same job. Statistics have shown that throughout a 2 year period, nearly 13,000 women in the military experienced sexual assault while serving. (source)

In addition to facing sexual harassment/assault, women in the military are also often undervalued simply just because they’re women. They often get overlooked for promotions and they are belittled by their male coworkers. Yet you hardly hear of women soldiers assaulting or harassing anyone. There is NOT an ongoing pattern of women harassing and/or assaulting other military members.

Vanessa is just one of thousands of women in the military who have fallen victim to harassment and violence at the hands of a male soldier. I feel that this sort of thing is an ‘open secret’ in the military world and nobody talks about it. I hate that Vanessa had to die a violent death for people to finally speak up about this issue. But let's keep her story out there. Do not let this conversation end.

Her name was Vanessa Guillen. She was violently murdered by a male soldier. She deserves justice.

Next up are Aaron and Noah Robinson, two newlyweds who embody the “opposites attract” trope. Aaron is an impulsive, outgoing fitness enthusiast who dreams of becoming a famous sports star one day and can often be seen riding the waves on his surfboard, whereas Noah is a reserved, conscientious young doctor who prefers his books and stargazing.

They love one another though, and dream of adopting a baby one day.
