Soldier’s Family Challenges Army Suicide Report

Tell Me More, August 11, 2008 · The Army says 19-year-old PFC Lavena Johnson committed suicide while serving in Iraq, but her family just isn’t buying it. John Johnson explains why he and his wife believe their daughter was brutally raped and murdered, and why the Army wants it covered up. Johnson is joined by Col. Ann Wright (ret.), who raises awareness of sexual assault in the military.

The program was released today and is available for listening at the Tell Me More website.
