Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen still missing after 2 months

KILLEEN, Texas (KTRK) -- As the mother of one Fort Hood soldier grieves, the family of another missing soldier continues to wait.

Skeletal remains found near Fort Hood Friday morning are believed to belong to Private Gregory Morales, missing since August, according to his mother.

Pvt. Vanessa Guillen hasn't been seen in two months. Authorities do not believe the two cases are related.

"Thank god it is not my sister," Mayra Guillen tweeted in Spanish

Discovery of the remains were of intense interest beyond the central Texas area since the Houston native's disappearance from the Army post 60 days ago.
