Dead Soldier Never Reported Missing
June 26, 2008
Associated Press

WILMINGTON, N.C. - Fort Bragg officials are investigating why a pregnant soldier who was found dead this week at a Fayetteville motel wasn't reported missing after she was absent from a formation.

The body of Spc. Megan Lynn Touma, 23, was identified Tuesday, two days after she was found dead. Fayetteville police have called the death suspicious, but few details have been released.

Maj. Angela Funaro, a Fort Bragg spokeswoman. said Wednesday that Army regulations would have required that Touma be reported as absent without leave 24 hours after missing a formation Monday, June 16.

Funaro said Touma signed into Fort Bragg's 19th Replacement Company on Thursday, June 12, and attended formations that day before having the next day off.

"We're shocked, first and foremost. It's always sad when you lose a soldier. And on top of that, here's a beautiful young woman who is seven months pregnant. It's sad, and deeply troubling," Funaro said.

1. What is it with dead, pregnant military personnel?
This isn't the first.

2. I think that if you are a pregnant soldier at Ft Bragg...
You need to get the fuck out NOW!

Are they exterminating the pregnant soldiers? Or is there something else being covered up here?

3. Perhaps they knew what happened to her, so she wasn't considered missing
