Case Story |

Pregnant Soldier Found Dead |
|
| |
Army Spc. Megan Touma, 23, had just finished a three-year assignment in Germany at an Army dental clinic.
She left Germany on June 11, 2008 headed for the United States for her next assignment. She arrived the following morning at Fort Bragg, in North Carolina.
According to officials at Fort Bragg, Megan was given a room key to stay on the barracks, but she chose to stay off-base at a local hotel while awaiting proper military housing.
Fort Bragg officials say on June 12, at 6:15 a.m., Megan was on base at formation. She was also present for formation later that day at 3 p.m.; Megan did not have to report for duty again until Monday, June 16, but she never showed.
Army officials say when Megan was absent at the base, she written up as a "Failure to Report" and not considered AWOL.
Officials say a soldier is not classified AWOL until they are absent for 24 hours, but then it is still up to the commander's discretion. Megan wasn't heard from over the next 12 days, but was never listed as AWOL at any time during her absence.
On Saturday, June 28, 2008, a worker at the hotel where Megan was staying called police reporting a foul smell coming from Megan's room. When Fayetteville Police gained access to Megan's room, they found her unresponsive and declared her dead at the scene.
They later learned that she was seven months pregnant at the time.
Police classified Megan's death as "suspicious" from the beginning, but wouldn't elaborate as to why.
The Fayetteville Police Department issued a press release stating that they were officially treating Megan's death as a homicide, but were awaiting the results of a second autopsy preformed by the military.
The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division joined the Fayetteville Police in the case. |
