Soldier Katia Duenas Aguilar Stabbed 68 Times, Two Charged

Two individuals, Reynaldo Salinas Cruz and Sofia Rodas, have been indicted for the murder of Army Pfc. Katia Duenas Aguilar, who was found dead at her Tennessee home with 68 stab wounds on May 18. Cruz, Aguilar's husband, and Rodas face charges of tampering with evidence, while Rodas is also accused of first-degree murder. The Montgomery County Medical Examiner ruled Aguilar's death a homicide, noting the presence of a date rape drug in her system. Both suspects were already in federal custody on unrelated charges at the time of their indictment. Duenas Aguilar, a 23-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Campbell, leaves behind a 4-year-old son. The investigation remains active as authorities seek justice for the victim and her family.
