A missing United States soldier stationed at Fort Leonard Wood has been found dead, and authorities are investigating the case as a homicide.
The military base, located along I-44 between Springfield and St. Louis, says Sergeant Sarah Roque’s body was found in a dumpster on base Tuesday, October 22, after she was reported missing earlier in the week.
The Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Unit has now taken over the case.
She was 23-years-old.
