FORT BELVOIR, Va. (December 11, 2008) -- Special Agents from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, commonly known as CID, are offering a $100,000 reward to anyone

with information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the person(s) responsible for

the 2001 death of U.S. Army Pfc. Amanda Gonzales in Hanau, Germany.

Gonzales, 19, was four months pregnant at the time of her death. Her body was found Nov. 5,

2001, in her third-floor barracks room on Fliegerhorst Kaserne near Hanau after she did

not report for work. Gonzales was on her first assignment in the Army and was assigned to

Headquarters Supply Company, 127th Aviation Support Battalion as a cook at the time of her death.

She had been in Germany only eight months.

The death was ruled a homicide by asphyxiation.

"Increasing the reward to $100,000 is a testament to the determination we have in solving this case

and bringing the person or persons responsible to justice," said CID spokesman Chris Grey. "We

are confident that someone out there knows something about the untimely death of this Soldier and

her unborn child, and we are not giving up. We strongly encourage anyone with information to

contact us immediately."

Persons with any information regarding this case should contact their local CID office or CID

Headquarters at 703-806-0277 or email CID at crimetips@conus.army.mil. Persons wishing to

remain anonymous will be honored and information will be held in the strictest confidence

allowable under the law.
