Authorities at Fort Leonard Wood have issued a call to the public for assistance in the search of a soldier gone missing under circumstances yet to be clarified. Sergeant Sarah Roque, a member of the 5th Engineer Battalion, has not been accounted for since her disappearance in the vicinity of Fort Leonard Wood, as per information provided by the military base.
Efforts to establish communication with Sgt. Roque by her family and her military chain of command have been unavailing thus far. Described as a Hispanic female with black hair and brown eyes, she sports an approximate height of 5 feet 2 inches and a weight of about 145 pounds. Fort Leonard Wood, along with local police, is leading the investigation and searches, prompting KY3 to publish an urgent public appeal for any information related to Roque's current location.
Adding to the urgency, FOX 2 Now reports that coordinating efforts with the local law enforcement agencies are ongoing, in hopes of tracking down the missing sergeant expediently. The community has been sensitized to the situation, with officials urging that any shred of information could be crucial in bringing Sgt. Roque home safely.
A Facebook post by U.S. Army Fort Leonard Wood also confirms Sgt. Roque's status and details an appeal for public support in the ongoing search. As part of a wider community networking strategy, the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (MSCoE) is joining hands with Fort Leonard Wood in the resolve to find the missing soldier. Those with any information that could aid in locating Sgt. Roque are encouraged to call law enforcement officials at 573-596-6141 or to submit anonymous tips to CID Crime Tips, echoing the sentiments shared in an OzarksFirst article.
