The soldier found dead on Tuesday near Fort Hood had been told the Army found his sexual assault report unsubstantiated prior to his disappearance, an Army investigator told reporters during a Wednesday press conference.
“Our investigation has been completed and is with the command and their legal team for further action if warranted,†said Special Agent Damon Phelps of the Army's criminal investigative command, or CID. “I can also share that the subject of the investigation took and passed a polygraph examination, and we found no witnesses that could corroborate Sgt. [Elder] Fernandes’ allegations."
"There was a thorough legal review, and the allegations were unsubstantiated.â€
