Cold Case: Army SSG Anton Phillips Found Stabbed to Death at FOB Mehtar Lam, Afghanistan; CID Offering $25,000 Reward for Information (December 31, 2009)

SSG Anton Phillips, US Army

SSG Anton Phillips, 31, US Army, died of a non combat related incident on December 31, 2009 at Forward Operating Base Mehtar Lam, Afghanistan. SSG Phillips was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom on behalf of the G Forward Support Company, 77th Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Battalion, Task Force Wildhorse at Forward Operating Base Mehtar Lam, Afghanistan. According to the Department of Defense, the circumstances surrounding the incident are under investigation.

“Phillips was found stabbed to death on Dec. 31, 2009 at a base in Mehtar Lam, Afghanistan, a farming area east of Kabul.” -The Gazette

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.
 
PLEASE SHARE TO RAISE AWARENESS, GET JUSTICE FOR ANTON, AND STOP A KILLER FROM ROAMING FREE.
 
SOMEONE KNOWS SOMETHING.

Fort Hood Army Spc. Seteria Brown Died of a Non-Combat Related Incident in Afghanistan; Army Said Found in Barracks with Gunshot Wound From M-16 (July 25, 2008)

Seteria Brown
Spc. Seteria Brown, U.S. Army

Army Spc. Seteria Brown, 22, of Orlando, Florida, died of injuries sustained in a non-combat related incident in Sharana, Afghanistan on July 25, 2008. She was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom on behalf of the 62nd Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade in Fort Hood, Texas. At the time of the DoD press release, the incident was under investigation. The official cause of death and outcome of the investigation is unknown.

Rumors quickly circulated she committed suicide, but her family and friends don’t believe that. “The Army has not ruled anything yet,” Harris said. “They’re still investigating. They didn’t rule it suicide. They just said she was found in the barracks. The type of weapon she was shot with, a M16, is a tall weapon. It might even be the same height she is. It’s hard to shoot yourself with that. –Tuscaloosa News
