This case has a lot of moving parts, but in trying to write this introduction, I found I kept distilling it to the same point. Viewed through a relationships lens, this case highlights how far two women would go for the men they loved. One woman, grieving the loss of her beloved, vowed to work towards a more effective military justice system. The other helped hide her fugitive boyfriend and, after his arrest, tacked a sign that said “we have no comment” to her front door. But this case really isn’t about these women, but rather the reverberations from the repeated, but varied, criminal actions of Specialist Lee.
I accessed articles from Stripes (1)(2)(3), Army.mil, the Army Times, KOMO News (1)(2), KIRO 7, The News Tribune, Army CID, YouTube, King 5, and the Seattle Times.
This episode involved discussion of sexual assault. There are a number of resources available for survivors and victim of sexual assault, including the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). They offer a free, confidential national sexual assault hotline at 800-656-HOPE as well as an online chat option.
This episode also mentions suicidal ideation. If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm, I urge you to contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988. Help is also available via chat on their website.
