For many, perhaps everyone, 2020 will go down as a year theyâd rather forget. However, the huge news that came in 2020 is unforgettable.

A month later, on April 22, a Fort Hood soldier went missing. Frantic searches, protests, blame and a national spotlight on Fort Hood followed. Eventually it was discovered that Spc. Vanessa Guillen had been reportedly killed by a fellow soldier. Her body was found more than two months later near the Leon River south of Temple.
