"Why did she disappear? For the love of God, I can't bear one day more," her mother said. "I want to know the truth."
The reward to help find missing Fort Hood, Texas soldier Vanessa Guillen has doubled to $50,000, nearly two months after she disappeared. The search for Guillen has attracted nationwide attention, including support from Texas Congresswoman Sylvia García and actress Salma Hayek.
"We need to get to the bottom of this," García said."We need to make sure that we look at every single complaint and every single allegation that is being made in this case and that we get to the bottom of it. Vanessa's mom has made it clear that Vanessa has previously... expressed to her and her sister about not feeling safe on the base and that perhaps, being the victim of sexual assault on the base. This is very serious.
Story continuesNatalie Khawam, an attorney representing the family, told CBS News on Tuesday that she wants answers for them and believes they've being kept in the dark. She will travel to the base on Wednesday. Her family has been active in promoting the search online, creating a website and"Find Vanessa Guillen" campaigns on social media platforms.
The Army also said there's no known connection to the case of missing Fort Hood Private Gregory Wedel-Morales, who disappeared last August.
