A former Fort Hood Army captain is going on the record to criticize the way the investigations into the death of Spc. Vanessa Guillen were conducted.
Alex Cook, the former executive officer for the Headquarters Troop, Regimental Engineer Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment, was one of the last people to see Guillen alive before she went missing April 22, 2020. Although Guillen was in a different troop from his in the same squadron, she was the only qualified small equipment repairer in the squadron and was often called to different troops to repair equipment such as night vision goggles or the optics used on rifles.
