Death Of Fort Hood Soldier Ignites Demands For Congressional Investigation

Marchers in Texas are demanding a congressional investigation into the disappearance and killing of U.S. Army soldier Vanessa Guillen.

Army investigators have identified the body of a soldier who vanished more than two months ago from a base in Texas, a lawyer for the soldier's family told CBS News correspondent Mireya Villareal. Remains found last week buried near Fort Hood belong to Spc. Guillén and Army officials informed her family in Houston Sunday, attorney Natalie Khawam said. Human remains were found Tuesday near the Leon River in Bell County, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Fort Hood, during a the search for Guillén. An Army spokesman said earlier Sunday that they were still waiting for positive identification of the remains.

Guillén, who had been missing since April, was killed and dismembered by a fellow soldier who took his own life last week, federal and military investigators have said.
