When Army Spc. Denisha Montgomery Smith was found dead inside a U.S. base in Germany last year, the news devastated her family.
Now, Montgomery Smith’s loved ones say unanswered questions about her death, an alleged physical assault before she died, and lack of accountability towards military members involved, have only added to their grief.
Weeks before Montgomery Smith’s death, the 27-year-old military police officer and mother of two boys made an emotional video call to her family and revealed that she was physically assaulted by fellow soldiers inside a vehicle. She said she wanted to leave the base.
"I just want to come home; look what they did to me,” Montgomery Smith said in the call, which was recorded, as she revealed various marks and bruises on her body.
