(FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo.) — An Army specialist has been charged with the murder of a fellow soldier<\/a> whose body was found on an Army base last week.<\/p>\n

Spc. Wooster Rancy, 21, is accused in the murder of Sarah Roque, a 23-year-old sergeant, officials said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Last week, Roque was found dead in a dumpster at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.<\/p>\n

Rancy also faces obstruction of justice charges, officials said. He is currently in pretrial confinement ahead of a preliminary hearing.<\/p>\n

A combat engineer, Rancy is originally from Miami and joined the Army in 2022, officials said.<\/p>\n

It is not yet clear what led to Rancy’s arrest or the motive in the killing.<\/p>\n

Roque, of Ligonier, Indiana, was reported missing after she failed to report for duty last week.<\/p>\n

In a press conference after her body was found, Maj. Gen. Christopher Beck said her death was being investigated as a homicide.<\/p>\n

“As a commander and a leader, this is a tragedy,” Beck said. “This is something that we never want to happen, we never want for the family to have to endure, or for the unit to have to endure.”<\/p>\n

Roque served as a mine dog handler, officials said. Since she enlisted in 2020, she was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.<\/p>\n

“Sarah not only served our country bravely and honorably as a soldier, she was also a daughter, a sister and a friend to many,” Beck said.<\/span><\/p>\n
