Fort Hood Soldier Laid To Rest In Brockton, Officials Say No Rest For Living Until Questions Get...

About 20 men stood outside Saint Edith Stein Parish in Brockton on Saturday, holding American flags. They were Patriot Guard Riders, bikers who stand vigil outside funerals for first responders and military personnel.

One hundred people had their temperatures checked before they were allowed inside the church to pay their respects to Army Sgt. Elder Fernandes, who was found hanging from a tree in Texas. Attendance was capped at 100 people, and pews were cordoned off with caution tape for social distancing.

Born in Cape Verde and raised in Brockton, 23-year-old Fernandes went missing last month after a hospitalization for unspecified reasons. In May, Fernandes reported that he'd been sexually assaulted. He was placed into another Army unit, and then the Army closed its investigation. No one was held responsible. And the police in Temple, Texas —where Fernandes was found hanging from a tree — say they don't suspect foul play.
