Vanessa served her country, but her country didn't protect her! 😢😭💔🕊️
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭
We sure have some horrible people hidden in this base
@@pippilongstocking9634 I can't believe the killer parents didn't says anything to Vanessa parents! That's cold! 💔
💔
That’s how the military is. Chew us up, spit us out
It hurts to see the younger sister cry every time she talks about Vanessa's disappearance. She needs counseling. She's obviously so traumatized by the horrors of her sister's murder 😔
Yes. She really does need help counseling so it can help her heal from this and so she can move forward with her life 🙏💙
She needs to forgive and only then she will find peace.
@@Speakupok can you truly forgive such a horrendous act?
@@TheSantos173
Forgiveness is to her benefit.
@Muggsy This is an old interview from 9 months ago. I don't know why it's portrayed like it's a new interview. Hopefully, the sister is doing better now.
Did that army officer tell vanessas sister to come back in the morning because he was a sleep?! Like WTF. She drove over night to look for her sister. How ignorant of that officer!
I would've said, "Hell no, this is an emergency".
That’s how they are, they don’t gaf.
Staff Sergeant
Sounds like the Army
@@DRPosterBoy you can say that again
Our soldiers, our sisters. Our daughters. That’s who Vanessa represented. Her country called; she answered and her country should have answered her call for help. Why? Just why?
Hi dear, how're you..?
Her country took her service for granted. Then, it completely ignored her.
@@AmericanTeacher-USA as they do the very ones fighting for thus country are disposable to this country its sad and disrespectful all they care about us how they can be served I can go on and on
It wasn’t the militaries fault. It was bad leadership and bad people that did this.
I hope you're sitting down when you read this, because you might faint and get hurt: "The military" consists of PEOPLE, and far too many are "bad people". So yes, it is the military's fault. Look into the huge number of rapes that our male soldiers (heroes all) commit against our female enlistees and maybe you'll wake up. Then you can look up the large number of cases where they abuse and sometimes murder unarmed civilians abroad.
The guy is a coward for murdering her , it’s a sad situation . Women aren’t suppose to feel afraid for being a women . It seem like there’s more to the story but the guy was the easiest way out to blame .
How can anyone above this guy not question there was a problem Army is hiding something and this base needs to close
🎯
She’s not the only one missing or mysterious death at Fort Hood something very wrong is happening at that base.
He murdered her so obviously he was blamed.
It’s crazy how it took them about 69 days to find her body . I thought there were surveillance cameras around the base , nobody has documentation of anything which is concerning ….
It's horrific, there's a plague of sociopathy in this country. A lack of respect for others and it's showing. I hope everyone involved was punished to the greatest extent possible.
Hi dear, how are you doing today..?
They are - and they're still being punished.
Your people killed her
Plague of sociopathy is the most accurate description of 2021 society ever. That’s right
@tayacuri so your people don’t kill?
This was such a sad story. Her family really had to fight just to get answers. That military base should be ashamed......
Those were Not “errors” those were more like cover ups. If they really want to give Vanessa justice then let’s start by calling things by it’s name!
This government has to change
They truly hide many things to the public!
They need to support women that enter the Military they don't join for joy they join to serve there country!
Cover ups is the human nature since child hood when kids do something wrong they hide as grown ups the same exact behavior continues just like how these people acted ( hiding themselves)
They probably threatened the family and that’s why it’s not a big then like other cases
I don’t blame the family because white people will never understand the struggle us Hispanic/ black families go thhrough. We will always be in fault in their eyes. I’m sorry to say this 💔😭
kind of like the black girl that made a report on one of her mates in Afghanistan and then turned out she got raped killed and poured acid on her genitals they never did anything about that case
They missed a huge part of the case here! In search of her body, they found another body of another soldier who was never investigated
Very sad and tragic. May the young man and Vanessa rest in peace🙏🌈
His name was Gabriel
@@adb8003 😔 May Gabriel rest in peace and may justice be served for him and his mother and Vanessa and family🙏
And aftrr that at least 10 more
And theyre still going missing
not only heartbreaking, but also extremely frustrating to have the disappearance of your loved one be covered up by the very people she admired her whole life.
This is why I would never fight for this country, or let my children fight for this country. Our government doesn't respect us or care about us. Also most if not all of these wars are absolutely unnecessary.
No government cares for the people thats all over the world and that's cause some of us choose to be lead by man and not by God . God should be the only government we have and should follow this is so sad that this has happened to this young beautiful woman...
The government is a gang of criminals too. But they are legal.
@@stephaniehernandez3507 Well said.
I tried to get in the Marines but failed the asvab. I later realize it was for the best, I saw how much hate this country has towards immagrants.
@@nicestranger1352 lol wow you must be an idiot if you couldn't make it into the Marines. The qualifying asvab score for them is the lowest of all the branches. Yeah the country hates immigrants, giving them driver's licenses, free housing, letting them apply for unemployment and WIC etc
They need to redo that case 🥺🙏🏽 this wasn’t handled well or fair.
This government is so sick and disgusting I can’t believe this has happened!!!!
Due to the leftist fraud!
Governments are evil by nature - but better than no government at all. People need benevolence and protection from greater evils. Sometimes good government provides this.
@@kevinmcduffie7478 it happened under Trump you brainwashed idiot! In a Republican controlled state! So how is it the fault of the “left fraud”???
@@JAZZYM201 exactly. Thank you.
And this is another reason, not to make everything into a confrontational political…”attempt” debate-even more so, when not debatable.
Make a damn fool of yourself.
This is about a precious soul, that should still be here-not your urge, to have a public tantrum.
*edit*
Since, I likely didn’t make it clear enough, the rest of my message, after “exactly, thank you”….is to you, Kevin.
@@kevinmcduffie7478 idiot!
Those close to her in the command should have backed her up.
They dont care about the little nobody.
I don’t think she shared it with anyone from what I can infer from what her family reported. I think Vanessa gave them the bare minimum when she told them she was being harassed. 😞I wish baby girl would of told it all. But sadly I work in a male dominated field and they definitely feel women don’t deserve to be in positions of power so more often then not they hid everything
We dont know what was going on at fort hood and from the looks of it I dont want to know.
@@rasheeda1303 u really don’t, I was in a unit with a guy that was on the helicopter that killed the immortal Pat Tillman
Fort hood is one of the worse places on earth. I’m sorry for what happened to her. She definitely deserves better!
You are comparing Fort Hood to what exactly?
@@ChosenOne6666 every other fort. So many deaths. Look up how many assaults happen at ft hood and how many bodies they've found.
Hi dear, how are you..?
@@georgewilliamsiii4677 I am not going to look up anything, I asked a question which requires an answer.
@Justa Me can we chat pravetly..
This girl deserves so much it’s so sad that the military let her down in so many ways. May she Rest In Peace
I feel like the military fails big time when it comes to protecting the women who choose to serve.
Yes Stephanie, because she is not white. Sexual harassment it is a CRIME. AND THEY HAVE TO PAY.
@@silviamartinez2848 are you being serious? Have you looked up the races of every missing/murdered woman in the army? I can assure you that most are white and they STILL don't get investigated and the higher ups STILL act shady. Has nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with keeping it all secret.
Forthood military is a Disgrace and how they handled everything is unjustified
It’s definitely a cover up by the military.
FROM THE FIRST DAY. WHEN SHE DIE. JUSTICIA PARA VANESSA. YO VOY HA ESTAR CHEKANDO Y APOYANDO HA LA FAMILIA.
@Michael Davidson are you in the military? Why didn’t they announce when she disappeared? The army didn’t inform Vanessa’s family. Just shut up. You sound ignorant. You’re opinion is irrelevant 👋🏽
This case really rocked me to my core and I’m glad to see it in the headlines again. So many rapes and assaults happen in the military it’s disgusting.
What confuses me is that if this murder took place in an armory, you’re telling me there are NO cameras in an ARMORY where weapons need to be accounted for?! They saw the guy walk out with some sort bin from where they were at. I find it hard to believe that he was not caught on camera somewhere outside that building at MINIMUM on a MILITARY BASE. And such a coward for taking his own life and leaving the family with so many unanswered questions. Espero que la novia tenga más información para ustedes. Descansa en Paz, Vanessa Guillen ✝️
Sounds like there’s a cover up in that base.
Nope cameras aren't aloud in the arms room. But him taking his life without give her family answers is messed up.
There’s never any cameras BUT the fact that he was working in the arms room that day and left with a big ass tough box is already suspicious af! Nobody stepped in to ask him what was in the box? Could’ve been stolen weapons, equipment. This whole situation is fucked in so many ways and it comes down to people be lazy or not caring. CID, NCOS, fellow soldiers just not giving 2 fucks
I’m an active duty soldier and I can tell you that the army hasn’t have cameras anywhere in the work places .
Robinson was the fall guy and a specialist E-4. Vanessa said a sergeant harassed her, who is the E-5? I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them were selling military weapons to civilians... Got caught and started snitching on each other.
“We can’t tell everything, we have to maintain the integrity of the investigation “. Bull sh.. Release all information and the Army should be held liable. I’m sick of women being abused!!!!
Hello Diane. That's why I never ENROLL TO THE ARMY. THOSE PEOPLE BECOME SICK. AND THEY ARE SICK. HARRASSMENT IT IS A CRIME. AND ALL SOLDIERS THEY NEED TO PAY GOING TO JAIL.
This is so sad, something seems not right. Alot of women are mistreated (sexually assaulted, raped,, sexually harassed, etc) in the service including myself and it takes a toll on you mentally, physically and spiritually. I hope her family gets justice and the truth is put out, may she rest in peace.
No matter what language you speak you can understand and feel the pain in that mothers voice. Heartbreaking
The commander, first sergeant, platoon sergeant, squad leader and everyone in her chain of command is a failure. This is why I don't want my daughter in the Army. I have seen this same crap happen to women from my time in and it doesn't surprise me in the least. Keep your daughters out of the Army!
Can't blame you! However, Air Force is a great opportunity.
@@JBAR54 you have to be smart for the air force
@@Afmedic85 just study for the Asvab
@@Afmedic85 actually any branch now! The military has changed due to technology. 2021....military of the future.
@@JBAR54 more sexual assaults happen in the Air Force. Literally the coast guard or active reserves are a better choice for women due to the abundance of men and bad apples slipping through
This is a coverup. Other people were involved 100%. No way she could just go missing like that without no one seeing anything or knowing. I hope she gets justice one day, so unfair.
Of course it was other people involved you think a black guy can get away with all of this on a base, as if he is in already being profiled around the base they already have their eye on him he was going to be the fall guy before he even knew he's going to be a Fall Guy
She was so beautiful and had a promising future. Then she’s caught in this trap, sexual harassment and afraid to report it. She didn’t have a way out! RIP Vanessa! ❤️🙏❤️🙏
The mom was a luchadora! I’m glad that she stayed with this case
Se metieron con la familia equivocada.
El dolor de esa madre, tiene poder.
#justiceforvanesa
Amen
Eso !
I get tears in my eyes every time I see her family speak! Heartbreaking!!!
More than a year later, this story still brings me to tears.
I heard fort hood was one of the top 10 worst bases in the USA...prayers to the family and friends of this beautiful young woman.
As Hispanics... a tightly knit family will start hell for those they love. Her mom is warrior. She’s amazing. The family is amazing. They are doing everything right.
AS YOU SHOULD!! People were actually upset that the story got this much attention. I was like you can’t get mad because her family and community went hard for her. I was in the same unit as her and it was people in the unit saying this. SMH
@@femarie4449 . It was definitely a watershed moment for the Hispanic community. They(the women in particular)raised hell and got results! Man, it was like some 200 foot Latina giant waking up and throwing a major temper tantrum!
CID mishandling chances are is not their first time. Fire each CID, clean out the squad and bring new people! And name that base after Venessa. Hope the family sues CID base!
#FortGuillenSafeBase
I’m glad that the family took action!
I am glad too.
Lavena Johnson remember the name. She will never be forgotten either. These fierce women served and their own country let them down.
Made me sad reading that name instantly stomach turned man I remember her story horrible
Exactly!!!!!!
STFU with the remember their name. Everybody knows this ain't the first time
Lame ass wab
I'm so sad that what happened to Vanessa, happened to her. She didn't deserve that. God rest her soul and God bless her family
Seeing her momma cry for her daughter broke my heart. They deserve answers. All service members and their families deserve answers. Period!
I hope I don’t get fucking stationed there
Andrew Cruz buy a pen with a camera in it
@@onewotldgovernmentonlywhen9044 psh
Every time I watch anything about Vanessa makes me cry. Reminds me of my daughter. God bless her family. She not any other soldier deserves such disrespect from within their own. Awful.
May she rest in peace.
She's resting. Then God will avenge her and we will see it.
Vanessa has a great strong family I hope they fine all the answers to her murder and punish every person involved in this case. May she Rest In Peace 😔🥺🙏🏼
Our people who enlist to defend this country MUST be protected and treated with respect. Justice for Vanessa!
I’m glad I’m not a female going in

I’m so close to my family . It’s the most important thing in this world to me. I can’t bear imagining what they are going thru and went thru. Praying for there healing, justice, and Vanessa’s peace.
Thank you ABC for shedding light on this case a year later.
This is a military base in Fort Hood Texas, they will never know exactly what happened😔
You mean to tell me that had not Vanessa's family pushed and pushed and pushed again...the army wouldn't have done anything? Wow 🥴😮
Something about Vanessa Guillen, when I first learned about her case prior to it being mainstream news, I was sadden. She had this good persona about her that drawn me into her case. I cried with her sisters and mom. Im sure she was a wonderful person and didn’t deserve to be treated as such and die in a horrific way. I hope and pray her family will find some peace when they get all the justice for her. 🙏🏼
So so sad.
RIP Vanessa 👼🏾🕊
There’s something more to this story… don’t think it was just the soldier who mulled himself (if it was him at all)… I don’t know but something isn’t right.
Yep
Yup, I believe there’s something deeper going on.
She was so beautiful and had the most amazing smile. Breaks my heart RIP
She was so pretty, she didn't deserve this. RIP Vanessa gullien🕊💔
The strength and determination of the family is amazing! I pray and hope they will get the justice they all deserve for Vanessa and for all the other women who represent this country. Breaks my heart.
Crazy how fast this story disappeared, the family still never got justice
i can’t believe it’s already been a year since she passed… may she rest in peace and may her family and friends find peace ❤️🕊
I can’t imagine the loss but to see the strength of this family with tears in their eyes… nothing but respect querida familia Latina. I still think that idiot was a fall guy for a big fish. None of this makes sense. RIP Vanessa Guillen we all know your name 🙏🏼
Vanessa isn't the only person that went missing or died in that base theres others...why aren't there story being told?
Beacuse her family is still out here fighting ... they have fought since day one to be were they are at NOW to tell vanessa story ..
This story breaks my heart every time! Just want to hug dear Vanessa and her family. You can feel their undying love for her 💔💔
Such a beautiful young lady what a horrific loss my heart breaks for her family
When this story Broke about Vanessa Guillen it made me sick to my stomach to think when one of your family members in lest in any Military thats on base they they will be safe . I have a Grandson Based in Georgia just back from over seas then had to do 30 day's in Texas I could sleep knowing what has taken place there .this is not ok they fight for our Country and this is happening were they are Station Unacceptable . I pray every night to keep our Soldiers Safe so they can come to there Families🙏 scared Grandmother in AZ. May God Bless them all
Wow... she was gorgeous. A cross between Selena, JLo, and Selma.
You're only comparing her to them because she's Hispanic? J lo isn't even Mexican lol she's a puerto rican
I only see Selma
Umm no ... however she was beautiful
I reported it but the higher up laughed at me. And Sgt James Ami's kept calling my house.
I am not a SOLDIER Sexial HARRASSMENT it is a CRIME. It should be a law to punish, any person who try to intimidate you, mentally of physically. Because you can't work happy under those circumstances. God its watching everything.
Now imagine what the army did in Iraq ….
Now imagine where the bodies of the soldires that keep going missing in fort hood are...
How did this happen I don’t understand how they couldn’t take care of there own I don’t know the full story but I hope they find peace
Nobody knew she was messing with a psycho.
The dislikes on this video are the family members of Aaron Robinson.
YES HE WILL PAY WITH GOD, NO HAVING THE ETERNAL LIFE. THE BIBLE SAID YOU WON'T KILL. AND ROBINSON DID BECAUSE HE HARRASS VANESSA OR COVER SOMEBODY ELSE HIGHER.
The pain in the mothers voice, is so powerful! my heart breaks for this family!
She was beautiful hope her family get some justice
Praying for her family and friends she deserved so much more than they gave. It’s sad that when investigating Vanessa they stumbled upon another case they just swept under the rug. What a beautiful soul. Horrible misconduct has plagued the military and law enforcement since the dawn of time especially as it pertains to women and men and those who refuse to get caught up in the bs. REST IN HEAVEN VANESSA & GREGORY
Ladies I know it’s not an easy decision, but you have to report it. No matter where you work. Not just inside the military but outside too.
The military should dedicate one gate to this young lady on every base on this planet, not just FT Hood.
That would be just another empty bogus gesture. How about prosecuting to the max all the people involved in the cover up.
Justice for Vanessa Guillen RIP Thanks for your Service my prayers for the family Always prayers prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for Justice
Rest in Heaven Vanessa . You will never be forgotten 🙏❤️ im sorry that you had to leave early you didn't deserve to die so young . May God protect her family from evil and provide them with peace and comfort everyday 🙏
RIP Vanessa. I knew the gfs brother in middle and high scho and had been around her when she was little. It's so crazy to think anyone around you could be capable of crimes like this!
💔 this breaks my heart..
this case pisses me off so much, being an airman also stationed in texas it infuriates me that this could happen to any female in the military and how the investigation has occurred. this is so wrong and should have never have happened to her. something needs to change in fort hood because something is always going on at that base
It could happen to civilian women as well. Domestic violence affects women (and men) everywhere
My heart and condolences for her family.
So sad. Young lady rest in peace . And may you found love and respect in heaven
ANYTIME YOUR LOVED ONES LIFE END VIOLENTLY IT'S A LEVEL OF PAIN THAT'S (SPEECHES). SO MANY THINGS GO THROUGH YOUR MIND!!!!.
I pray & hope something is doné about Vanessa’s passing. My heart goes out ti her mom & sisters u can see the deep pain in their eyes . 🙏🏼
This is so sad. Stuff like this happens too often. Things like this make me glad that I got out
So devastating 😢 the system failed her. The army barracks are so easy to get into and sneak things.
God Bless all of You ❤
Do you really believe in God?
Yeah, these tragedy's happen all over the country daily. Why don't we pray for the others that are never heard about also.
RIP. The military is not the place to be, too many psychologically disturbed and messed up men in there . I dated 2 military men they were not completely all there. Never again. SMH.
Her family needs answers!!! 😢
Excellent story. Very honorable. Thank you.
People who still join the military after seeing this 🤡
Remembering Vanessa as i learned of her & her Family's situation over 1yr ago! R.I.P Vanessa & Family u WILL be together again One day!🙏✊🖐️.
It’s sad but you can’t beat the army. Army is shady. I am currently a soldier. I wish I could get out but It’s a secure paycheck and roof for my daughter and I :(
Praying for you ❤️
Can you give some examples on how it's shady. Just curious
@@BruceWayne-iz9hk look up wiki leaks collateral damage
@@357-swagnumultramagax9 thanks
This is why we need Militias and other branches of Military to cross check.
Interesting how this happened during all the George Floyd stuff but only the Latina community gave a damn about her. It’s disgusting. You can’t be for one cause and ignore the other. She deserves justice more than anyone💯
The Latinas did fine just by themselves! They got both attention and, more importantly results. It was like some 200 foot Latina giant woke up from her sleep and threw one terrifying temper tantrum!!
Lol that’s not right. I’m Latina also and care about this case alot but I also stand with all ethnicities and races. I thought she got attention. So did George Floyd. We should stand with all minorities not just our own. Keep both the names to remember
@@shhhhhh5748 It's not right Vanessa's murder got less priority then a loser 50 + yr old criminal fentanyl addict who's murder wasn't as near brutal instead of an intelligent good contribution to society young person who had a lot to offer to the world was only 20 and never got to live her Life!!!
It's an injustice that her murder didn't get enough attention than the criminals murder I agree
I pray her family finds peace. Everyone should be ashamed of how our armed forces handled this situation.. so sad 🙏🙏🙏 prayers to you and your family.
I would act the same way if that was my sister
Even today my heart sinks for this family.
Man this breaks my heart!! She was such a beautiful girl OMMGGG 🥺🥺🥺
R.I.P. VANESSA GUILLEN. A TRUE SOLDIER AT HEART WHO HAD MORE HONOR THAN THE MAGGOT COWARDS WHO DID THIS TO HER. I DID NOT KNOW HER OR HER FAMILY. HOWEVER, IT TORE MY HEART APART. IT HURT ME SO DEEPLY AS IF SHE WAS MY OWN DAUGHTER. I CANT IMAGINE HER FAMILY’S HEARTS UPON RECEIVING THE HORRIBLE NEWS. STRENGTH AND PRAYER FOR THE FAMILY. SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS FAMILIA GUILLÉN. 🙏🏼
I wish everyone’s family who has gone through this at Forthood can come together and close this base!!!
The way groups like police departments & military groups have each other's backs is such a nice concept & ideal. It's unfortunate that it goes to the length of covering up the inhumane aspects. Everyone knows the "incompetence" that occurs is a convenient way to cover up. It's disgraceful that people in CID are comfortable with people who commit human crimes against their own group serving in the military. Giving them more opportunity, easy opportunity, to continue hurting people who they are supposed to help me safe. It breaks my heart knowing what the first woman to serve has to go through & wish every woman could comfortably come forward & have her case at least looked into, regardless of how much time has passed.
Bless you and your family. I just can’t believe this. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
They need to close that base before it happens again smh ! She was so beautiful ! Will never forget her ❤️
I bet they new about this they just want to keep it hush so they keep doing it over and over again. Man take John quinones straight to the fort to ask brutal questions he’s good.
Defenitly a sad story
So sad what happened to her 😢 I'm so sorry I can't imagine what her family is going through she's a beautiful young lady
Rest in Peace my Beautiful Vanessa......🙏✝️💖✨🕊️💐💐
