Army Criminal Investigation Command agents and members of the FBI’s Evidence Recovery and Dive Teams are currently conducting searches near the Cape Lookout National Seashore in North Carolina as part of the investigation into the death of Spc. Enrique Roman-Martinez, 21.
Roman-Martinez, an 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was reported missing May 23 while on a Memorial Day weekend camping trip with fellow soldiers.
About one week later, Roman-Martinez’s head washed ashore on Shackleford Banks Island and his death was classified a homicide. A positive ID was made through dental records. Later, an autopsy determined there was evidence of multiple chop injuries to his head and his jaw was broken in at least two places.
