Woman accused of aiding in Vanessa Guillen's death indicted by grand jury

Cecily Ann Aguilar was indicted on 11 federal charges including accessory after the fact and tampering with evidence Tuesday in the death of Vanessa Guillen.

A woman accused of helping Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen's suspected killer dismember and dispose of Guillen's body last year has been indicted by a grand jury. Cecily Ann Aguilar was indicted Tuesday on 11 federal charges including accessory after the fact, destruction of records in a federal case, conspiracy to tamper with documents, tampering with documents and issuing false statements in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The charges come one month after a Texas judge denied a motion from Aguilar asking her confession in the crime be thrown out. Guillen was a Fort Hood Army specialist who disappeared in April 2020. Her remains were found along the Leon River in late June that year.
