Teen Girl Found Dead in Fort Lewis Army Barracks

A 16-year-old girl was found dead and another found unconscious in an Army barracks at Fort Lewis over the weekend. A spokesman for the base, located near Tacoma, Washington, said one soldier who was “allegedly an acquaintance” of the girls has been questioned by investigators. No arrests have been made.

The names of the girls will not be released “due to their ages, their civilian status, and the nature of the ongoing investigation,” according to an Army press release. The name and rank of the soldier who was questioned is not being released either.

The teens were found around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. A doctor declared one girl dead at the scene. The other was taken to Madigan Army Hospital. She is currently in stable condition.

It is still unclear how the girls, both from the nearby South Puget Sound area and not related to any Army personnel, got on the base. Fort Lewis spokesman Joseph Piek said neither of the girls “had any outward signs of trauma.”

An autopsy is being conducted.
