Summary

On Memorial Day Weekend 2020, Specialist Enrique Roman-Martinez and 7 other soldiers from Fort Bragg, North Carolina decided to take a break for the long weekend. They hopped on a ferry and headed towards Cape Lookout National Seashore as a group of 8, but only 7 returned. What happened to Specialist Roman-Martinez who seemingly walked away from the group at midnight, never to return to his tent? The group of soldiers noticed he was missing early on May 23, 2020, and reported him missing 17 hours later. Specialist Roman-Martinez’s remains were found less than a week later, washed ashore. His body only identified with dental records. The autopsy report was still pending when this episode was released, but the Army CID is investigating the case as a homicide. There is a $15k reward for any information that leads to an arrest in the case. You can contact 910-396-8777 with information, or if you would like to remain anonymous, you can submit a tip here.
