..."Unsolved case
Rep. Torres told The Fayetteville Observer in November 2021 that Roman-Martinz’s case was riddled with issues including delays in declaring him a missing person and how long it took before divers searched for the rest of his remains.

Authorities announced in December 2020 — nearly seven months after Roman-Martinez’s head was found — that divers were searching waters for evidence and the rest of the remains.

“He was such a good person, so loving and so caring, and to think that someone cut off his head and hated him that much — I think that’s the part that hurts us all. They didn’t have to do that ..,” Griselda Martinez said a year after her brother’s death. “I wish we could have had a funeral that had the option of the open casket so we could say our goodbye. There was no last goodbye.”

Anyone with information about Roman-Martinez’s death is asked to contact Army special agents at [login to see] or the Military Police Desk at [login to see] . They can also anonymously submit information to the Army CID’s website at cid.army.mil/report-a-crime.html."
