FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Even with a suspect in custody, there are still plenty of questions surrounding the death of a pregnant soldier found in a motel bathtub in Fayetteville more than a month ago.

Police have charged Sgt. Edgar Patino in the death of Army Spc. Megan L. Touma, but investigators haven’t released a cause of death or motive.

Touma was last seen alive not long after she arrived at Fort Bragg on June 12. She was divorced, though authorities have said nothing about the father of her child.

She was temporarily assigned to Fort Bragg’s 19th Replacement Company, and would have eventually been assigned to work at a base dental clinic.

Police scheduled an 11 a.m. news conference Wednesday, the same day Patino is scheduled to appear in court.
