Family advocates “I am Vanessa Guillen” bill to assist soldiers

(KYMA, KECY)-Fort Hood's Specialist Vanessa Guillen's family advocates push in her name for soldiers to report sexual assault or harassment claims to a third party instead of being handled internally.

The family believes new leadership should be reinstated at Fort Hood. Claiming the base should put people that care for soldiers.

Guillen was reported missing from Fort Hood on April 22 and her remains were found in late June. Before Guillen was killed, she told the family she was being sexually harassed by a co-worker.
