#100 - In 2005, 19-year-old Missouri native, LaVena Johnson was deployed to serve in Iraq. Eight weeks into her tour, fellow soldiers found LaVena's body inside a contractor's tent on base. She had been shot with her own M-16 automatic rifle, which was found lying next to her on the ground. After a quick investigation, the Army ruled her death a suicide. However, her death became suspicious after the Army released her body to the Johnson family.
