Family Still Awaiting Remains After 1,473 Days and Justice Against Rogue Criminal Elements

On April 24, 2024, the U.S. government officially declared Richard Halliday, a U.S. Army Whistleblower at Fort Bliss, murdered, July 2020. His family remains without his remains nearly four years later, while calling for accountability from those implicated in his murder. They allege that a rogue criminal group linked to the original response team investigating Richard’s reports of criminal trafficking may be involved in both his disappearance and death. The investigation into Halliday’s disappearance has been riddled with complaints about irregularities and conflicts of interest, which have significantly hindered the search for truth and justice. Delayed reporting and the lack of timely communication have left the family in the dark, having reportedly discovered that partial remains were found without the family being officially informed. Key evidence, such as Halliday’s car, passport and cellphone, have also been mishandled or misreported, raising questions about the thoroughness of the investigation. Contradictory statements from Army officials and accusations of misconduct within the ranks have compounded the family’s frustrations, along with insufficient support and communication from military authorities. Furthermore, a lack of transparency surrounding Halliday’s whistleblower complaints has only deepened their concern. The El Paso military community is called to support the Halliday’s in their fight against what they believe to be systemic failures and cover-ups within the response to Richard’s whistleblower complaints, disappearance, and murder. Their advocacy serves as a poignant reminder of the need for accountability and transparency in the pursuit of justice for all service members.
