Agreed. That's a really sad story.

Are you suggesting that the Army would not release all the facts regarding the death of a soldier? Pish-posh!

Fenian_Bastard · Mar 9, 2007

I know.
It's hard to imagine.

Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad stuff.

In documents and autopsy photos obtained by the Johnson family and shared with News 4, more questions are raised than answered.

One strange fact was that Lavena was apparently abused, physically, and the autopsy didn't address the physical trauma to her body.

Military documents also show no apparent indication of suicide, her company commander wrote that Johnson was clearly happy and healthy physically and emotionally, something her mother knew by a phone conversation the day before she died.

Johnson's parents also question how their daughter at 5’1â€, could handle a 40 inch M-16 to kill herself while sitting.

In fact, a military laboratory even concluded that based on a gunshot residue test, Johnson may not have even handled the weapon.

Additionally, Johnson's military debit card was never found, even though she used it two hours before her death to buy candy.

No bullet was ever found where she died, and a trail of blood is seen in photos outside the tent. Even stranger, it appears as if someone tried to set her body on fire.

So if it wasn't a suicide as the Army maintains, then how did Lavena Johnson die?

Based on the autopsy photos, her father believes that she was raped.

The military is unconvinced and consider the case closed.

A few years ago there was a reservist from western New York whose unit was training at Fort Knox. IIRC, early one morning he went out for a jog and his body was later found.

It was ruled a suicide even though there was no real proof that it was.

This is typical military bullshit. Don't investigate. Just call it a suicide and be done with it.
