Welcome back, True Crime Army. I am your host Margo, and this is Military Murder, a show where I focus

0:05.6

on crimes committed by military members and veterans. But don't worry, you don't have to know

0:09.8

anything about the military to listen. You just have to be the type of person who head straight

0:14.5

to the true crime genre on your favorite TV platform. And if that's you, welcome home.

0:20.6

Hello, hello, and happy December friends. Is everyone

0:24.7

sufficiently busy lately? Well, listen, two weeks ago when I left off, I told you all about my new

0:30.7

puppy Penny. Well, the reason there was no new episode last week is because I went a little bit crazy.

1:23.2

I know it's nice to know about an upcoming trial, but there is no true justice until there is a conviction and a sentence in each case.

1:31.3

Today, I want to remember Amanda Gonzalez, a young soldier who was murdered in her barracks room in Germany.

1:37.4

Her murder had various suspects throughout the years, including Chinu Kim, who I covered a few weeks ago on an episode, but this year, the true
