connected to the 2020 killing at Fort Hood. The charges included a count of accessory to murder after the fact and three counts of false statement or representation.
Aguilar was the girlfriend of Aaron Robinson, the soldier who was suspected of killing the 20-year-old soldier. Robinson fatally shot himself as police moved to arrest him in connection with the case. According to evidence and information shared during Aguilar's trial, Robinson was in the Fort Hood military base, which was recently, the day Guillen was killed. He was in the arms room, where a forensic search found blood and where Guillen was presumably killed.
During Aguilar's sentencing hearing, witnesses said Robinson got the idea to dismember Guillen's body from the crime drama TV series “Criminal Minds,”. Witnesses said that Aguilar and Robinson visited the site where they buried Guillen’s remains twice, first to dismember the body and then to mix her remains with cement. Aguilar also said that it took about seven hours for Guillen’s bones to be fully broken down.Army Spec. Vanessa Guillen.
