ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vanessa Guillen

Vanessa Guillen was a young woman who was a soldier in the United States Army. She was working at Fort Hood in Texas. One day, she disappeared and her family and friends were very worried.

People searched for Vanessa for many weeks, and eventually her remains were found in a rural area near Fort Hood. It was a very sad and scary event for her family and for many other people.

Many people were upset because they felt that the Army did not do enough to protect Vanessa and find out what happened to her. There were also allegations of sexual harassment and assault involving some of Vanessa's fellow soldiers.

As a result, there have been many changes in the military to help prevent similar tragedies from happening again. People are working to honor Vanessa's memory and make sure that everyone in the military is safe and respected.
