Four Military Wives Killed In North Carolina
Each Death Blamed On Husband

POSTED: 8:12 a.m. EDT July 26, 2002

FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- In the past six weeks, four wives of soldiers at Fort Bragg have been murdered. Each death is blamed on the husband.


Military officials are trying to figure out if the rash of killings is somehow connected to the stress of wartime deployment. In three of the cases, the men were special operations soldiers who had served in Afghanistan. Two of the soldiers killed themselves as well.


Special Operations Command spokesman Gary Kolb says the cases are being reviewed individually, but he says the military wants soldiers to know help is available.

Chaplains talk to soldiers about making the transition from the battlefield to home, and they're available for the spouse and soldier after the soldier's return. Calls to chaplains at Fort Bragg have increased dramatically since the first killing on June 11.

They learned their lessons well during deployment. Maybe they need anger management classes as part of their de-briefing..
