Fort Hood Pfc. Vanessa Guillen was bludgeoned to death with a hammer in the armory room where she worked, an attorney for Guillen's family said on Thursday.

Guillen's body was transported from the military installation by her killer, attorney Natalie Khawam told CNN, citing details the family learned during a meeting with Army investigators on Wednesday night.

The main suspect in disappearance was identified by officials on Thursday as Spc. Aaron David Robinson. Khawam said the family told her that Guillen had planned to file a harassment complaint against Robinson the day after she was killed, and that they believe Robinson became enraged when she told him that.

Robinson, 20, killed himself on Wednesday after police confronted him in Killeen, according to US Army Criminal Investigation Command, which calls itself CID. He fled Fort Hood late on Tuesday. "While law enforcement agencies attempted to make contact with the suspect in Killeen, Texas, Specialist Robinson displayed a weapon and took his own life," CID Senior Special Agent Damon Phelps said at a news conference on Thursday.

1. Cluster B personality disorders suck.

I am just speculating, of course, but this whole affair stinks of a Cluster B personality disorder—to me, at least.

2. How could he have done all that without anyone noticing?

Just incomprehensible, the willingness of so many to destroy someone else.

3. It wouldn't have prevented her death, but why was the army so slow to investigate her absence?

This would’ve save her family months of the anguish of no knowing.

5. What an awful story.

Killing himself seems to be a guilty move, imo.
