Military investigators have found no evidence that a Fort Bliss soldier now missing for more than nine months is in Mexico, officials said recently.
The disappearance of Pvt. Richard Halliday remains unsolved since he was last seen on July 23 in his barracks room at Fort Bliss.
Military investigators, soldiers, law enforcement officers, family members and volunteers have conducted searches at Fort Bliss, the El Paso-Juárez area and even other parts of Texas.
There was initial speculation and rumors that Halliday had gone to Mexico, but Army investigators haven t found any signs indicating that is true. To date, we have found no credible evidence or information that supports that Pvt. Halliday is in Mexico, Marlon Soto, special agent in charge of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command at Fort Bliss, said in a statement.
