HERE'S THE WHOLE STORY:http://ledger.southofboston.com/articles/2007/10/06/news/news03.txt

Durkin told them that in her work she had come across some things that concerned her and raised objections to others at the base.

‘‘Then she said, in her light-hearted way, ‘If anything happens to me, you guys make sure it gets investigated,’’’ Canavan said.

The family met with Army officials for four hours Wednesday night. Army officials say they are investigating the death ‘‘as if it were a homicide,’’ although they have not ruled out suicide - a possibility the family dismisses.

Family members have criticized the military for offering scant and, at first, incorrect information - initially they were told Durkin’s death was combat-related.

Durkin’s family has lingering questions about why the military will not let them see Ciara’s will or the autopsy report. The family will have a second autopsy performed after Ciara’s funeral Mass today.

Since she worked in Finance department, she could have found out where money was going or where some was coming from illegally.

You know what the scary part about this is, it happened on September 28th but I have read articles that kinda say she was killed even before that. Why would they hide the time of death?

Finance soldier killed in the Line of Duty?

Perhaps there is some collusion in the bilking process.

Somebody somewhere is hiding some serious information that when brought to light will topple the criminal enterprise that felt it necessary to kill a soldier to protect their secret.

Seeing she found something disturbing in the course of her job which was in Finance, follow the money and find the killer. Head shot also tends to come from someone who has enough trust to get close enough the victim in situations like this.

The soldier was on a secure base and was shot in the head.


Pretty Scary. Whistleblowers often become the bad guy.

In any case, it appears Spc Durkin was a good soldier. Her family went public when they were getting the Army runaround.
