The surviving suspect in the Vanessa Guillen case will spend 30 years in prison. Cecily Aguilar was sentenced on Monday after pleading guilty to accessory to murder in the U.S. Army soldier's 2020 disappearance and death at the former Fort Hood. Aguilar, the girlfriend of murder suspect Aaron Robinson, helped him bury Guillen's body and lied to investigators about where Robinson was when Guillen went missing. Robinson killed himself before Guillen's body was found.
