Fort Hood provided few details about Pvt. Ana Basalduaruiz’s death, including the cause, in a brief news release issued Wednesday. Her family could not be reached Thursday morning.
The Guillen family unveils a sign at an entrance to Fort Hood renamed in honor of PFC Vanessa Guillen, Monday, April 19, 2021. Guillen was a soldier at the fort when she was murdered last year. Her death has sparked a national outrage, congressional hearings and legislation that aims to stop sexual harassment and assault on military bases. Present at the ceremony were her sister, Lupe and Mayra, and their father, Rogelio. Also helping them was the soldier’s fiancé, Juan Cruz.
The statement said the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division and the chain of command were “actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding her death” and “in contact with her family to keep them updated, receive any concerns, and provide them all releasable information. In a phone interview from her home in Michoacán, a Mexican state where where she lives, she added that her daughter said."everyone wants me to sleep with them," but they were repugnant people.
A report from the Rand Corp. think tank revealed that Fort Hood had 885 estimated sex assault and rape victims in 2014 — the highest in the Defense Department, though five Army posts had 500 or more. The Army never confirmed the number.
