Person of interest in custody after U.S. Army solider found dead in dumpster



Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. (TCN) — A homicide investigation is underway after a U.S. Army soldier was found dead in a dumpster last week.

Roque, who enlisted in 2020, reportedly served as a mine dog handler with the K-9 Detachment within the 5th Engineer Battalion. Fort Leonard Wood officials said she received multiple awards and decorations, including the Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and the Army Service Ribbon.

Beck said, “Sergeant Roque was a daughter, sister, friend, and soldier who chose to serve our country bravely and honorably. Her passing has caused a tremendous void throughout our team, and while there are no words to ease the pain, we continue to provide care, resources, and support to those who are affected during this difficult time.”
