In 2005, LaVena Lynn Johnson, an E3 Private First Class in the United States Army, was found dead in a tent. The autopsy report and photographs revealed Johnson had a broken nose, black eye, loose teeth, burns from a corrosive chemical on her genitals, and a gunshot wound to the mouth that seemed inconsistent with suicide. Several reporters have suspected that the chemical burns were the result of attempts to destroy DNA evidence of a sexual assault. Additionally, bloody footprints were discovered outside of her living quarters. Her death was controversially ruled as a suicide but her family to believe the United States Department of Defense covered it up.
