So is this another case of a former significant other allegedly murdering a fellow soldier? It certainly looks like it. Let's not forget Holley Wimunc, another Fort Bragg solider who was allegedly murdered by her estranged husband and fellow soldier who was stationed at Camp Lejeune. Another pregnant female solider stationed at Fort Bragg was also murdered in January, allegedly by a colleague she had accused of rape. So not only have female Fort Bragg soldiers experienced sexual violence from co-workers but they have also experienced physical violence with male soldiers that they have had relationships with. Is this a disturbing trend, or few unrelated tragedies gaining public attention?

Until recently, Touma and the unnamed soldier had been stationed in Bamberg, Germany, and according to the Fayetteville Observer, a friend in Germany says that Touma was recently engaged, but that the friend had never known the fiance's name. Below is the letter published in the Observer, taking responsibility for Touma's killing. As the reader of too many true crime books, I agree with the Fayetteville police: I don't think it's the work of a serial killer, but it's certainly hinky.
