Case Facts:
•How does the military determine who is going to investigate a case? Sometimes it’s CID and other times it’s FBI when the crime occurs overseas.
•The Army CID are in charge of Anton’s unsolved murder case but we haven’t heard a peep out of them since 2013.
•When they say they are investigating a case… what do they mean by that?
•Why don’t they have a website dedicated to unsolved & missing cases?
•Why haven’t they said anything about Anton’s unsolved murder since 2013?
•Why don’t they post regularly about the unsolved murder to generate leads?
•Why don’t they utilize the media to help them solve cases?
•The theme we have discovered is that the soldier on soldier crime and details on federal bases is hidden.
•Most likely, Anton was murdered by another soldier given his locale on a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan.
•In 2013, Army CID believed someone in the Colorado Springs area had information about Anton’s death.
•Where’s the sense of urgency when the known killer is most likely military and may also be living in our communities pretending to be a good guy?
•The DoD deleted the press release (and the entire site) announcing his murder in 2009 after Vanessa Guillen was murdered.
We should all know about this case and all the unsolved military cases. We found out about it by accident while combing through DoD press releases for casualties overseas.
