UPDATE LaVena Johnson Story - Murderer known yet ruled suicide by Army - VIDEO

It’s been 13 years and  THIS CASE REMAINS UNRESOLVED: 1 in 3 women in the military are sexually assaulted. Honoring the life of Us Army soldier Lavena Johnson,... Lastest Update her murderer is known, yet he has not been charged by the Army but discharged.

We know who her killer is but he can’t be charged because he’s a civilian now. He can be brought into custody under a citizen’s  arrest. I’m requesting prayers for God to move upon this situation to vendicate her and bring closure.
