FORT HOOD: Elder Fernandes

On August 17, 2020, Elder Fernandes was released from a
hospital. He had spent 6 days hospitalized for unknown
reasons. One of his military coworkers picked him up and
dropped Elder off at his home on the 2700 block of Woodlands Drive
in Killeen, Texas. Elder was then never seen again. 
  On August 18, 2020, Elder failed to report to work, although
his car was found in the parking lot of his work place on Fort
Hood.    By Wednesday, August 19, 2020, after not hearing
from Elder since Sunday, Elder’s family was very concerned and his
mother flew from Massachusetts to Texas to search for Elder. 
  Since his disappearance, Fort Hood officials have released 4
press releases informing the public that they are doing everything
in their power to find Elder. However, they do not suspect
foul play in his disappearance. They have allegedly spoken to
various soldiers that make it seem as though Elder left of his own
accord.    However, according to his family, immediately
before his disappearance, Elder had been the victim of abusive
sexual touching. He had filed an unrestricted report with the
SHARP and his leadership even moved Elder to a new unit because
Elder had been complaining of bullying and being belittled. 
  It’s unclear if Elder’s disappearance is related to his
sexual abuse allegation, or if it’s connected with his
hospitalization, but his family and the Army and Killeen PD need
YOUR help.     Dig in with Margot as she discusses
the most recent disappearance at Fort Hood – that of Sergeant Elder
Fernandes.  -----   If you have any information, however
