A US Army sergeant, 23-year-old Sarah Roque, was sadly, discovered dead in a Missouri dumpster after missing duty. Authorities are investigating a person of interest related to her murder, per the New York Post.
Her remains were located in a dumpster near single-soldier housing. An unidentified person of interest was apprehended on Thursday. Roque had been reported missing after not showing up for duty. The Army Criminal Investigation Division is looking into her death as a homicide.
Maj. Gen. Christopher Beck said,
“As a commander and a leader, this is a tragedy.”
“This is something that we never want to happen, we never want for the family to have to endure, or for the unit to have to endure.. Sarah not only served our country bravely and honorably as a soldier, she was also a daughter, a sister and a friend to many,”
Beck added.
