WACO, Texas — According to a criminal complaint, Cecily Aguilar told investigators she helped Spc. Aaron Robinson dismember and bury Spc. Vanessa Guillen's remains in a rural area near the Leon River in Bell County.
That might sound like a straightforward case at first, but it is nowhere near trial. In fact, the most recent hearing has been moved three times since April. That hearing could result in some of Aguilar's confession being thrown out.
