CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Tribune News Service) — The U.S. Army says dive teams are searching the turbulent waters off Cape Lookout National Seashore in hopes of finding evidence — including body parts — linked to the killing of a Fort Bragg soldier on Memorial Day weekend.
To date, investigators have reported only the head of 21-year-old Specialist Enrique Roman-Martinez has been recovered, after it washed up on the Shackleford Banks.
The Army has released few details of its ongoing homicide investigation of the case, despite intense media attention.
Cape Lookout National Seashore raised suspicions Dec. 4, when it announced Power Squadron Spit would be closed Dec. 6-11 for "a joint training exercise with NPS, USCG and the US Army." The closure includes the water and the beach, the park said.
