The body of a missing U.S. Army sergeant was found in a dumpster this week on a Missouri military base and a person of interest has been arrested in connection to her killing, officials said.
Sgt. Sarah Roque, 23, was reported missing Monday after she failed to show up for duty at Fort Leonard Wood, the miltary wrote in a press release. The base is about 80 miles south of Jefferson City, the state's capital.
During a press conference Thursday, Maj. General Christopher Beck said Roque's body was found in a dumpster on the base next to soldier housing.
