The Army is investigating after a 23-year-old soldier disappeared from a Missouri base and was later found dead.

In a Facebook post around 6 p.m. Monday, the U.S. Army Fort Leonard Wood base requested the public’s assistance in finding Sgt. Sarah Roque of the 5th Engineer Battalion. The post said she failed to show up for roll call Monday morning. Her family and chain of command were unable to get ahold of her. Officials included a be-on-the-lookout poster with her photos on it.

The base announced shortly after 12:30 p.m. Tuesday that Roque was found dead. It did not say where she was found or release the cause or manner of death. The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division is investigating the matter.
