Twenty-year-old Private First Class Vanessa Guillen disappeared from Fort Hood on April 22.
The Army Criminal Investigation Division confirmed that it had found the remains, but has not yet released details about their identity. A medical examiner still needs to examine the remains to make a determination.
Even so, Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller, who's been working with military officials on the investigation, told ABC13 “the search for Vanessa is now over.” He also told the station the remains were located near an area where investigators found evidence last week in the Leon River.
He described the area as “a shallow grave.”
