When a Facebook friend reached out to Kim Wedel shortly after Fathers Day, her world sank. It had been nearly two years since her son, Pvt. Gregory Wedel-Morales, had gone missing from Fort Hood in August 2019, mere days before he was supposed to receive his discharge.
His body was found 11 months later in June 2020 during the search for Spc. Vanessa Guillen, another missing Fort Hood soldier.
The problem, however, is that apparently not all of her sonâs body made it to his Oklahoma home to be buried, Wedel said.
The notification on Facebook was that a bone fragment was found by the memorial marking the spot where her son had been found in Killeen. Within days, two more people reached out to her on Facebook saying they had found additional bones.
