Another soldier, Sgt. Elder Fernandes, is missing from Fort Hood, according to a notice Thursday night from the U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Division.

“We are actively searching to locate him and continue to stay in contact with his Family, friends, and law enforcement. Our primary concern is to ensure his safety and wellbeing,” the 1st Cavalry Division wrote on Facebook.

Spc. Francisco Gilberto Hernandez-Vargas, 24, died in a boating accident on Stillhouse Hollow Lake in early August. In July, Pvt. Mejhor Morta, 26, drowned, also at Stillhouse Lake.

In one highly publicized case, Pfc. Vanessa Guillen disappeared in April and her remains were found in July. Another soldier from Fort Hood, Aaron David Robinson, was suspected in Guillen’s disappearance and killed himself when police officers tried to make contact with him last month.
