A White Hat officer’s wife was found dead last Thursday in the couple’s idling vehicle in the garage attached to their Fayetteville, North Carolina, home, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.
At approximately 6:00 p.m., the husband—sources are not presently sharing names—returned home from nearby Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, where he had been at work since 7:30 a.m.—and found his wife’s limp body slumped over the steering wheel in her older model Camaro. The doors and windows were closed but unlocked, and the engine was hot, as though it had been running for a significant amount of time.
According to an incident report, the officer pulled his wife’s body from the vehicle and began administering CPR, pausing only long enough to dial emergency services at Fort Liberty, a few miles from their residence. The answering party informed him that since he lived off-post, protocol mandated he call Fayetteville EMS, which had speedier response times.
The officer gave an authorization code that made the answering party change her tune. She instructed the officer to continue CPR until Fort Liberty EMS arrived on the scene, which they did with miraculous speed—a response time of only seven minutes.
EMS checked the wife’s vitals—she had none—and rushed to Womack Army Medical Center with the grieving officer riding in the back of the ambulance and clasping his wife’s pallid palm. She was pronounced dead on arrival, speculatively of carbon monoxide poisoning, with a toxicologic panel still pending.
Our source said that White Hats in the Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) are, for several reasons, treating the wife’s death as suspicious, though they almost immediately cleared the husband as a potential person of interest.
“She was a fit 33-year-old woman with no history of mental illness. Accidental carbon monoxide poisoning is extremely rare. They had no history or marital issues outside the ordinary. And he was on base at her time of death,” our source said.
The investigators who performed forensics on the car uncovered what they called evidence of foul play. For example, the driver’s side door handle had only one set of prints—the husband’s, for he had opened the handle to pull her from the driver’s seat. They had expected to also find her prints on the handle, the center console, and other surfaces, but the only prints belonging to the wife were lifted from the steering wheel. They found no anomalous hairs or fibers other than hers and her husband’s.
The decedent’s body, our source said, had no indicators of a struggle having taken place—no bruises or lacerations. And neither the couple’s home nor garage showed signs of forced entry.
Besides those factors, investigators had a more compelling reason to suspect dirty deeds had taken place: the husband had been involved in undercover White Hat operations and may have become known to the Deep State.
Our source would not elaborate on what the husband’s duties entailed.
“These nefarious types aren’t above assassinating family members, so that’s obviously a concern. The guy says there’s no way in hell his wife would’ve offed herself. We’re still waiting for the tox screen and other tests.”
Asked whether the couple’s home had surveillance such as a Ring doorbell or interior cameras, he said, “Some things we can’t share right now, but CID is thorough and will get to the bottom of what happened.”
Note: I should receive word from GITMO on Garland’s tribunal this afternoon, and I will cobble together an article immediately after.
