Explore our gallery to witness the life and legacy of Richard Halliday. These images capture pivotal moments of his military service, his brave stance as a whistleblower, and the tireless efforts of Team Find Richard Halliday. Through these photos, we honor his dedication to justice and his unwavering commitment to protecting the vulnerable.
The Gold Star family of Richard Halliday has alerted the public, law enforcement, and the justice community to concerns regarding Bill Hicks’ legitimacy as the District Attorney of the 34th Judicial District. They assert that Mr. Hicks is a usurper. He has not properly assumed his role, pointing out that he failed to sign his statement of officer, anti-bribery statement, before taking his oath of office, as mandated by the Texas Constitution.
According to the Halliday family, this oversight raises significant questions about the validity of Hicks’ appointment. They argue that the Texas Constitution, specifically Article 16, Section 17, serves as the arbiter of law that makes Yvonne Rosales the rightful holdover District Attorney, despite circulating narratives suggesting otherwise.
The family emphasizes that whether her resignation was obtained under duress is irrelevant to the constitutional implications of Mr. Hicks’ actions. As a result, they insist that Yvonne Rosales is the rightful District Attorney of the 34th Judicial District, highlighting the need for public awareness and accountability within the local judicial system.
Part I: As the Goldstar family of murdered whistleblower soldier Richard Halliday, we’d like to share our thoughts on today’s Patrick Crusius Walmart mass shooting hearing.
It seems that taxpayers are stuck footing the bill for what feels like an expensive dog-and-pony show. We can’t help but notice that usurper Bill Hicks, who holds no real authority in this matter, is playing a game of delay, delay, delay. Perhaps that’s the only thing he can do. He needs to be arrested in our opinion.
More importantly, we, the family of Richard Halliday, who bravely reported sensitive criminal activities connected to the Walmart case, have reported on critical flaws in the handling of the Crusius case. We notified Judge Sam Medrano that Crusius’s initial proceedings were overseen by appointed magistrates rather than elected ones—an unconstitutional breach that could invalidate prior court decisions.
Additionally, we reached out to defense attorney Joe Spencer to highlight the irregularities regarding the illegitimacy of these appointed individuals masquerading as judges on the El Paso Criminal Law Magistrate Court. In Texas, it is mandated that judges on a court with county-wide jurisdiction must be elected, not appointed. This fundamental breach of legal norms highlights a troubling track record over the past five years in the Walmart case.
Despite having this critical information, neither Judge Medrano, Bill Hicks, nor Joe Spencer mentioned the illegitimacy of the Magistrate Court, that oversaw Patrick Crusius’s initial proceedings, during this hearing. This omission confirms the lack of integrity of the judicial process and the lack of accountability of those in positions of power.
Joe Spencer also failed to mention the illegitimacy of the Magistrate Court and the usurpation of Bill Hicks in his motion. Yet, he accused Bill Hicks’s administration of illegally recording private conversations between Crusius and his defense attorneys. This raises an important question: why address one set of violations while overlooking others that could fundamentally undermine the prosecution’s case? The failure to acknowledge the other violations not only detracts from the credibility of the proceedings but also casts doubt on the motives and thoroughness of the individuals involved.
Part II: As the Goldstar family of murdered whistleblower soldier Richard Halliday, we’d like to share our thoughts on today’s Patrick Crusius Walmart mass shooting hearing.
We, the family of Richard Halliday, the Fort Bliss soldier murdered after reporting shocking criminal activities connected to this case, have reported the confession of prosecutorial misconduct in the Patrick Crusius case. John Briggs, a prosecutor removed from the case by the Yvonne Rosales District Attorney’s administration, officially confessed, admitted to continuing his involvement in the Patrick Crucius Walmart case without authorization and by deception, which undermines the legitimacy of the prosecution. We directly notified Judge Sam Medrano and Joe Spencer of John Briggs’s confession and deception, raising serious concerns about the fairness of the trial.
Despite having this critical information before this hearing, neither Judge Medrano or Joe Spencer mentioned Mr. Briggs’s insubordination, the illegitimacy of the Magistrate Court, that oversaw Patrick Crusius’s initial proceedings, and Mr. Hicks’s usurpation of the 34th Judicial District Attorney’s office. These omissions confirm the lack of integrity of the judicial process and the lack of accountability of those in positions of power.
Joe Spencer also failed to mention these violations in his motion. The failure to acknowledge the violations not only detracts from the credibility of the proceedings but also casts doubt on the motives and thoroughness of the individuals involved.
Part III: Our Thoughts as the Gold Star Family of Richard Halliday on Today’s Patrick Crusius Walmart Mass Shooting Hearing
As the Gold Star family of murdered whistleblower soldier Richard Halliday, we’d like to share our thoughts on today’s Patrick Crusius Walmart mass shooting hearing. We have consistently raised alerts about the media’s role—being active or used, as participants in the cover-up efforts. The judge allowing the media into the Patrick Crusius hearing raises significant concerns.
For a judge to allow this level of media involvement, especially when the proceedings are being sensationalized, it suggests a lack of concern for how it might affect the fairness of the trial. Worse, it could be a calculated move to distract from the deeper issues at play—issues like prosecutorial misconduct, judicial irregularities, and the failings of the defense, all of which are being overshadowed by the spectacle the media is creating.
Judge Medrano is up to no good, it’s especially clear through parading Patrick Crusius around in orange and white striped prison garb, handcuffed, ankle shackled, and wearing a bulletproof vest during live televised proceedings. This severely compromises the defendant’s right to a fair trial by shaping public opinion long before the case even reaches a jury. This hearing is intended to determine whether Patrick Crusius will face the death penalty, yet the process has devolved into a farce. What we are witnessing is not justice—it is a show designed to distract from the misconduct of the court, prosecution, and defense teams. It is reprehensible. They are staging this spectacle at the taxpayers’ expense, and it feels like a blatant cover-up for a broken judicial system. The media’s involvement in this cover-up indicates there is more criminal activity at play than the public is being told.
In a shocking development, the Gold Star family of Richard Halliday, the Fort Bliss soldier who was murdered on Fort Bliss in July 2020, has received confirmation that his murder was premeditated. New evidence corroborates earlier reports suggesting that his death was not only ordered but was also the result of a “Code Red” – a military term for an unlawful command to eliminate a fellow soldier. This extreme measure was reportedly taken as retaliation for Halliday’s whistleblowing activities, which exposed criminal trafficking within military ranks.
Sources have revealed to the Family, the scope of Halliday’s whistleblowing has now expanded to include his uncovering of crucial information tied to the devastating Walmart mass shooting that occurred on August 3, 2019, in El Paso, Texas. This revelation adds a chilling layer to the ongoing investigation, as it suggests that Halliday had stumbled upon orchestrated efforts related to the mass shooting, which claimed the lives of 23 people, and injuring 23 people.
According to new details, the young soldier had been actively reporting on criminal activity, potentially implicating both military and non-military personnel. His attempts to expose trafficking networks and hidden information on the Walmart mass shooting reportedly placed him in grave danger, leading to the decision to silence him permanently. Sources indicate that Halliday’s evidence was critical and directly linked to the involvement of high-level players in the Walmart shooting, intensifying the retaliation against him.
In an equally disturbing twist, the investigation has now extended to the death of another Fort Bliss soldier, Glendon Oakley Jr., who had made headlines on the day of the Walmart shooting. Oakley, a then-active duty soldier, appeared live on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, detailing his harrowing experience of rescuing children during the shooting. He mentioned that shots were fired not just at the Walmart, but also inside the nearby Cielo Vista Mall. Even more shocking were his claims that he saw a group of individuals in uniform, resembling mall security but armed with M4 rifles, inside the mall during the incident.
Following his brave statements, Oakley faced relentless retaliation, captured in various videos showing the increasing pressure he was under. Just months later, in April 2020, Oakley was found dead in his Fort Bliss barracks, with initial reports labeling it a suicide. However, with recent revelations in the Halliday case, Oakley’s death is now being re-examined, raising questions about whether he, too, was silenced for what he had witnessed and disclosed.
As the investigation deepens, reports of more federal resources are being allocated to uncover the full extent of the criminal network, which now spans human trafficking, mass shootings, and unlawful military orders. The Halliday family, who have fought tirelessly for justice, now have even more questions as the horrifying truth continues to emerge.
Usurper Bill Hicks of the El Paso DA’s office cannot go to trial, legally. His confirmed unlawful acts have compromised this case and many others. Legally, under the Texas Constitution, Bill Hicks is a trespasser without any authority to prosecute Patrick Crusius, and John Briggs was removed from the case in July 2022. Was this just a cash-grab for attorneys? The corruption in the DA office is real. Thank God, the federal court has already sentenced Patrick Crusius to about 1000 years in prison at ADX Florence, also known as the “Alcatraz of the Rockies” for his part in the Walmart mass shooting. The other shooter/s are still at large.
Furthermore, in August 2019, Patrick Crusius was brought before “appointed” individuals masquerading as judges in the El Paso Criminal Law Magistrate Court, this is unlawful. This court, with these criminal imposters, lacks the authority to make rulings from the bench, as the Texas Constitution mandates that only ELECTED judges can serve in this county-wide capacity. Given the powerful jurisdiction of this court, which extends throughout the entire county of El Paso, it is essential and the law that its judges be elected by the people they make life-changing rulings over.
Our son, Richard Halliday, who was brutally murdered on Fort Bliss, faced severe retaliation from within the military long before his death. He was unlawfully arrested and dragged before these fraudulent figures in the magistrate court. His imprisonment was not only unjust but was part of a concerted effort to discredit his brave whistleblower reports, which exposed significant criminal trafficking activities. These imposters, sitting unlawfully on the magistrate court bench, have been ruling over the people of El Paso with no legal basis, putting the justice system itself on trial. The corruption in this case runs deep, and these actions represent a gross miscarriage of justice affecting the entire community.
Date of Investigation Timeline: December 11, 2023
August 19, 2024
On December 11, 2023, Team Find Richard Halliday received a crucial piece of evidence from a new cooperating witness named “Cora” for safety reasons. Cora provided audio recordings involving Thomas Cain, the Director of Emergency Services and Chief of Security at Fort Bliss, who has close ties with the CID, Park University, CPS, Leilani Hart, and business connections with CYS administrator Ann Ogle. In the recordings, DES Thomas Cain is heard making alarming statements, including referring to Richard Halliday as “a good meal for the coyotes.” This audio evidence corroborates a letter Cain wrote to Fort Bliss Commanding Officer MG James Isenhower, where he confirmed a deliberate push by leadership to discredit claims of obstruction and tampering in Richard Halliday’s investigation.
This evidence highlights and confirms serious misconduct and obstruction of justice within the military’s handling of the case. Team Find Richard Halliday has expressed deep gratitude to the whistleblowers who continue to come forward, shedding light on the truth and pushing for a thorough investigation. The courage of these individuals, including those within the government, has inspired more people to step up in the pursuit of justice.
DES Thomas Cain Letter
Eyewitness accounts confirm Advanced Forensics in a massive cover-up in the international investigation into the soldier’s death
Evidence now confirms that advanced forensic methods, including DNA analysis and dental records, have definitively identified the remains discovered by the FBI in Juárez, Mexico as those of Richard Halliday, the Fort Bliss soldier who became a whistleblower and was tragically murdered in July 2020.
In October 2020, Nidal Baem visited a local Dollar General store, where Richard Halliday’s missing person flyers were posted. He identified himself as an FBI agent, claimed that the FBI had located Richard Halliday’s remains in Juárez. He stated that authorities were investigating five different locations to further substantiate the presence of Richard’s remains. Nidal Baem instructed the cashier to take down the flyers and ordered the cashier to remain silent about the fact that Richard had been found dead in Juárez by the FBI. This act implied that the search for Richard was over. His assertions were significant, as the FBI would only make such claims if they had definitive proof—such as DNA or dental evidence—indicating that the remains were indeed those of Richard Halliday.
This case is a complex international capital murder investigation involving over 15 agencies and connections to cartel activity along the U.S.-Mexico border. Richard Halliday was a whistleblower who exposed criminal trafficking in El Paso, Texas, which raises serious questions about the true motives behind his death.
Significantly, Nidal Baem, an FBI agent, was later found to have deeper connections to suspects in the case, including being the father-in-law of Lieutenant Colonel Bradford Bugado, a high-ranking G3 officer in the 32nd AAMDC, Richard Halliday’s command at Fort Bliss. This relationship suggests conflicts of interest and further implicates both Fort Bliss military personnel and El Paso law enforcement officials in a cover-up.
The FBI’s involvement in the recovery of Richard Halliday’s remains in Mexico involves navigating complex legal, political, and diplomatic challenges between the U.S. and Mexico. Such operations require permission from the Mexican government and must be conducted in strict compliance with international laws and bilateral agreements.
As more evidence and testimonies surface, public demands for accountability and transparency in this case continue to grow. Richard Halliday’s family repeatedly traveled to Juárez, Mexico, searching for answers, unaware that officials already knew their son had been murdered, that his remains had been found, and identified by advanced forensics. Multiple reliable witnesses have corroborated the existence of this cover-up.
One of the most disturbing developments in the case involves Thomas Cain, Director of Emergency Services at Fort Bliss and an instructor at Park University—where Richard was studying to become a criminal investigator. DES Cain made a chilling remark that Richard was “a good meal for the coyotes,” strongly confirming that key military officials were aware that Fort Bliss whistleblower soldier Richard Halliday had been murdered and his body disposed of in the desert.
Further corroboration came from Jamie Corona, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) liaison to the U.S. Department of State in Juárez, Mexico. Jaime Corona reportedly experienced a traumatic reaction, turning pale, after confirming that U.S. Army soldier Richard Halliday’s remains had been found and that the investigation in Mexico had been tampered with. This admission adds a chilling layer to the cover-up allegations.
Additionally, Ryan McMillan, the Department of State agent based in Juárez, Mexico, confirmed that FBI agents were actively searching for Richard Halliday’s remains in Mexico, further validating earlier claims of foul play and deepening the credibility of the investigation.
Lieutenant General Sean Bernabe, Commanding General of Fort Bliss, is under intense scrutiny for his actions during the investigation. LTG Bernabe was caught secretly searching for Soldier Richard Halliday’s remains—or possibly covering up evidence—at a mock Afghanistan training village on Fort Bliss during the Christmas season of 2020. These actions occurred shortly after the Halliday family identified FBI agent Nidal Baem on CCTV as the man who declared the search over, stated that the FBI had found Richard’s remains in Juárez, and commanded that the witness be silenced.
Ultimately, on April 24, 2024, the U.S. Army Board of Inquiry officially declared Richard Halliday deceased based on the overwhelming evidence, which includes the DNA and dental records. Yet, the Halliday Family has not received their son’s remains.
This moment represents a pivotal shift in the investigation of the Fort Bliss whistleblower, Richard Halliday’s murder case. The case has now escalated into an international capital murder investigation, uncovering a disturbing cover-up marked by a systemic pattern of abuse of power, fraud, and deep-seated conflicts of interest involving criminal networks. This development signifies the widening scope and gravity of the case, as it exposes a network of corruption that spans across the borderland.

Connections emerge between alleged fraudster posing as FBI agent and high-ranking military officials, raising alarming questions about a potential cover-up in the death of Richard Halliday.
This case is not just about the tragic death of a soldier; it’s an international capital murder case involving a U.S. Army soldier who had been stationed at Fort Bliss, near the U.S.-Mexico border. Richard Halliday was a whistleblower, reportedly exposing criminal trafficking within the military, which raises questions about the true motives behind his death.
Nidal Baem, the man who initially claimed to be an FBI agent, was later revealed to have connections with the suspects in El Paso. He is the father-in-law of Lieutenant Colonel Bradford Bugado, a high-ranking G3 officer in 32nd AAMDC, Richard Halliday’s command at Fort Bliss. This connection has confirmed the involvement of Fort Bliss military and El Paso law enforcement officials in the cover-up.
August 16, 2024
FBI’s involvement in the recovery of whistleblower Richard Halliday’s remains raise questions of cover-ups and accountability within military ranks.
The involvement of the FBI in Mexico to recover the remains of Fort Bliss U.S. Army whistleblower soldier Richard Halliday involves complex legal, political, and diplomatic challenges. Permission from the Mexican government is essential, and operations must be conducted in full compliance with international law and bilateral agreements. Failure to adhere to these protocols could result in significant diplomatic disputes, legal challenges, and potentially damaging consequences for U.S.-Mexico relations.
As more witnesses emerge, the public’s demand for accountability and transparency in this case grows. Richard Halliday’s family went to Juárez multiple times a week for months, all the while officials knew their son had been murdered and his remains had been found.
Thomas Cain, Director of Emergency Services at Fort Bliss and an instructor at Park University—where Richard is reported to have been studying to become a criminal investigator—made a disturbing comment that Richard was “a good meal for the coyotes.” This statement suggests that key military officials were aware that Richard had been murdered and that his body had been disposed of in the desert.
Jamie Corona, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) liaison to the U.S. Department of State in Juárez, Mexico, provided chilling confirmation that the investigation into Richard’s death was tampered with in Mexico. According to reports, Jamie Corona’s reaction upon confirming that Richard’s remains had been found was one of traumatic stress, as he turned pale upon giving this information.
Ryan McMillan, a Department of State agent based in Juárez, Mexico, corroborated the earlier claims, confirming that FBI agents were indeed in Mexico actively searching for Richard Halliday’s remains. This added another layer of credibility to the narrative that Richard’s death was a result of foul play.
Lieutenant General Sean Bernabe, a high-ranking official, Commanding General of Fort Bliss has come under scrutiny for his actions during the investigation. Reports have emerged that Bernabe was caught secretly searching for Richard’s remains or attempting to cover up evidence at a training village on Fort Bliss during the Christmas season of 2020. These actions, coming just after the Halliday family identified FBI agent Nidal Baem as the man on CCTV claiming Richard’s remains were found by the FBI in Juarez, Mexico, have raised serious questions about the integrity of the investigation.
October 26, 2020
Nidal T. Baem orders silence and the removal of missing person flyers for whistleblower Richard Halliday, sparking fears of a cover-up in connection with his disappearance.
In October 2020, Nidal T. Baem, identifing himself as an agent for the FBI, made a startling declaration at a Dollar General store in El Paso, Texas. He instructed the store’s cashier to remove missing person flyers of Fort Bliss soldier Richard Halliday, a known whistleblower. Mr. Baem further ordered the cashier to remain silent about the fact that Richard was dead, implying that the search for him was over. This event, captured on CCTV footage, raised significant concerns about a potential cover-up regarding Richard’s disappearance.
Mr. Baem made further claims, stating that the FBI had discovered Richard Halliday’s remains in Juarez, Mexico. He mentioned that the authorities were investigating five different locations to confirm the presence of Richard’s remains. Mr. Baem’s assertions were significant because, according to established procedures, the FBI would only make such claims if they had definitive proof, such as DNA testing or dental records, to identify the remains as Richard’s.
Subsequently, a board of inquiry declared Richard Halliday deceased based on the evidence provided, presumably including the DNA and dental records mentioned. This marked a turning point in the investigation, to a international capital murder investigation.
More Witnesses Come Forward Accusing Chan of Extortion
August 14, 2024
More and more people are speaking out against Jules Tugonon Chan, the man behind the Instagram account “therealfitfamelpaso.” Allegations have surfaced that he’s been pressuring individuals to pay him in exchange for the removal of damaging, false stories that he’s posted online. According to sources, the only way to get these misleading narratives wiped off the page was to fork over cash.
Adding to his troubles, it has been revealed that Mr. Chan let the legal status of his business, FitFam El Paso LLC, lapse, yet he continues to operate as if nothing has changed. Did he pay his taxes? This is now under question as Chan faces fraud allegations and scrutiny from tax authorities. He has also been caught engaging in unlawful political attacks.
But that’s not all—sources reveal Chan’s situation is further complicated by his ties to several influential figures. There are growing concerns about his conflicts of interest with the law offices of usurper Bill D. Hicks and his associations with discredited Bob Moore of El Paso Matters, criminal Jonathan Caleb Ambriz, and the Candelaria family, which includes Dannia Catzin Ambriz’s KTSM contact David Candelaria. These connections raise serious questions about the nature of Chan’s activities concerning our son Richard Halliday’s capital murder case, particularly his involvement since early 2022 with the rogue breakaway criminal group from the original response team, which has been harboring the prime suspects. This criminal group has targeted our son’s case and our family for years with asymmetric warfare (retaliatory) tactics such as impersonation, misinformation, intimidation, harassment, and even threats to silence us. How do you describe abuse of power?
Investigations are ongoing, and the scope of Chan’s legal challenges seems to be widening. Stay informed as this story unfolds. We’ll keep you updated with the latest developments.

Evidence of Illegal Actions by Bill Hicks Raises Serious Concerns About Obstruction of Justice in El Paso
The family of Richard Halliday, the Fort Bliss soldier and whistleblower who was brutally murdered on Fort Bliss, has taken a bold step in their request for . They have recently uncovered audio recording evidence that reveals an attempt by Bill Hicks to cover up his illegitimate status as District Attorney.
The evidence is a recorded conversation in which Hicks reportedly makes a crisis call to the Secretary of State, seeking to target individuals attempting to uncover his illegal actions. He wanted to block access to open records which reveal that he was not properly sworn in and install as district attorney. He tampered with official records. This call, the family claims, is a clear example of “official oppression,” a legal term for the abuse of power. The Hallidays’ emphasize that this obstruction of justice is particularly troubling as it directly impacts their son’s case, as well as many others. Richard Halliday had been murdered for exposing criminal trafficking, and the family asserts that a legitimate and lawful justice system is crucial for resolving their case and holding those responsible accountable.
Whistleblower Faces Continuous Retaliation Before Brutal Murder
Richard Halliday, a dedicated soldier and whistleblower, underwent severe and continuous retaliation after reporting criminal trafficking activities within his unit. Instead of receiving protection for his courageous actions, Richard was targeted, ultimately leading to his murder on Fort Bliss—a secure military installation. His case raises urgent questions about the military’s commitment to safeguarding those who come forward to report wrongdoing.
Suspects Complicit in Murder Criminal Sources Compromise Law Enforcement and Media Integrity
The investigation into Fort Bliss whistleblower Richard Halliday’s murder is turning out to be a whole lot messier than anyone expected. The people who are prime suspects in his murder—They’ve got criminal histories. And here’s where it gets even crazier: these shady characters have somehow been used as sources by both law enforcement and the media. This means they’ve been running interference, trying to discredit Richard, his family and scare anyone who might want to talk into keeping quiet.

Christmas Secrets: What Really Happened to Richard Halliday? Date of Investigation Timeline: December 26, 2020 Date: August 9, 2024 Behind the Mock Facade On Christmas 2020, the investigation into Richard Halliday’s death took a chilling turn. Newly surfaced evidence revealed that Lieutenant General Sean Bernabe was allegedly involved in secretive activities at the Mock Afghanistan training village on Fort Bliss. Reports confirmed that during this holiday season, Bernabe was caught either searching for Richard’s remains or attempting to erase potential evidence linked to his murder. These actions immediately raised eyebrows and ignited suspicion about the investigation’s integrity.
As whispers of a possible cover-up grew louder, the implications of Bernabe’s actions led to significant evidence coming to light. Many questioned whether critical information was deliberately hidden to protect certain individuals or narratives. Family members of Halliday shared their findings in reports and filings to military officials, politicians, agencies, and organizations, prompting active and ongoing state and federal investigations into serious allegations. It appears that Richard Halliday’s murder may not be the only secret requiring disclosure.

Unraveling the Brutal Murder of Richard Halliday In July 2020, the military community faced significant upheaval following the grim discovery of Fort Hood whistleblower soldier Vanessa Guillen’s dismembered and burnt remains, leading to the loss of several commanding officers from their posts. This scandal set a troubling context for other soldiers, including El Paso Texas’ Fort Bliss whistleblower soldier Richard Halliday, who had been reporting on borderland criminal trafficking.
On July 17, 2020, Richard Halliday, stationed at Fort Bliss, purchased a pistol in El Paso, Texas, using an Uber. He had called 911 multiple times, raising concerns about his safety. He had been undergoing severe whistleblower retaliation since January 2020 from the rogue criminal group of the original response team as well as from his superiors, including Major General Clem Coward and Lieutenant Colonel Michael Rodick. The evidence shows they abused their power and are now suspects in his murder. The harassment and retaliation aimed at discrediting and silencing him, but it didn’t work. Richard Halliday, the Distinguished Honor Graduate for his cycle in Basic Training and AIT, could not be discredited and silenced.
A few days later, on July 22, Leilani Hart, the mother of Richard Halliday’s platoon leader, Dallas Hart, filed a complaint with the CID (Criminal Investigation Division), confessing to extreme criminal activity within her household which included her son 1LT Dallas Hart’s involvement. Her confession was notarized and subsequently referred to the El Paso FBI and accepted. Just one day later, according to reports, Richard Halliday was forcibly removed from his barracks room at Fort Bliss and murdered when his security detail failed to show up for duty. Shockingly, military command did not notify Richard’s family about his sudden absence and murder.
A transition in command occurred on August 13, 2020, when Brigadier General David Stewart took over the 32nd Air Defense Command stationed at Fort Bliss. Richard’s family was still unaware of the situation. As the situation unfolded, on August 28, Richard Halliday’s family called the unit since they had not heard from their son. They received an alarming update from Captain Micah Uchida, who informed them that Richard had been designated a deserter, dropped from the rolls, and that the U.S. Army had washed their hands of the situation, and stating they could not assist the family.
On April 24, 2024, the U.S. Government officially declared Richard Halliday was killed on Fort Bliss in July of 2020. However, his family has not yet received his remains. He was murdered on Fort Bliss, a heavily secured military installation on U.S. soil, yet the U.S. Army is unable to recover his body. This misconduct and neglect within the military hierarchy raise urgent questions about the treatment of whistleblowers and the accountability of those in command. As the case develops, the community continues to seek answers and justice for a soldier who bravely spoke out against wrongdoing.

Evidence reveals LTG Bernabe’s secretive search at Fort Bliss raises questions about a Cover-Up.
It was confirmed that LTG Sean Bernabe was secretly involved in searching for evidence related to the murder of U.S. Army soldier Richard Halliday during Christmas 2020. The search took place at the Mock Afghanistan training village on Fort Bliss, a location pivotal to the investigation. Witnesses and evidence indicate that Bernabe’s actions were an attempt to either locate Richard’s remains or clean up incriminating evidence, casting a dark shadow over the transparency of the ongoing investigation.
The clandestine nature of Bernabe’s actions has led to widespread concern about the obvious cover-up and the officially reported manipulation of the investigation. Such actions have only deepened the mistrust among the Halliday family and the public, who demand the remains of their young soldier whose life was violently taken away.

Restricted journalist access raises concerns over bias and potential concealment of crucial facts.
As the investigation into the murder of Richard Halliday unfolds, it has been revealed that Fort Bliss restricted media access, permitting only a selected group of journalists to cover the case. This decision to allow “a limited amount” of journalists has raised serious concerns about the possibility of biased reporting and the military’s control over the narrative surrounding the case.
Such limitations on media access have sparked fears that critical information may be withheld from the public, potentially obscuring the truth about the circumstances leading to Richard’s death. The decision to restrict journalist access is seen by many as a red flag, indicating a potential attempt to manage the flow of information and control the investigation’s portrayal in the media.
In a notable development, Team Find Richard Halliday (TFRH)—The Gold Star Family Team of Fort Bliss whistleblower Soldier Richard Halliday—has acquired FitFam El Paso LLC, along with the brand names “therealfitfamelpaso” and “FitFam El Paso.” Richard Halliday, who was brutally murdered in July 2020, was a whistleblower who faced severe retaliation for exposing criminal activities within the military context. The group’s acquisition of the fitness brand raises intriguing questions about their future goals and community involvement.

Corruption and Cover-up Allegations Emerge from Ongoing Inquiry
Investigators are scrutinizing Leilani Hart’s claims of tampering with Richard’s case files, which suggest a possible cover-up. Her actions have not only shifted public perception but have also led to accusations of intimidation against those seeking the truth. Given her continued connection to military law enforcement, Leilani Hart’s involvement has far-reaching implications for both the Halliday family and the broader military community. As the investigation unfolds, her actions represent a troubling intersection of crime, accountability, and military trust, raising critical questions about the integrity of those tasked with upholding justice.
A Timeline Complicated by Familial Ties and Possible Premeditation
Leilani Hart’s affidavit was submitted just a day before Richard Halliday was last seen alive, a detail that complicates the timeline of events and raises the possibility of premeditation. Her son, Dallas Hart, who served as Richard’s platoon leader, has now become a prime suspect in Richard’s murder. This familial connection introduces a serious conflict of interest that significantly undermines the integrity of the investigation. Investigators are tasked with untangling these personal relationships while seeking the truth surrounding Halliday’s disappearance

Veteran Family Urges Accountability for Murder on U.S. Military Installation on U.S. Soil
The Gold Star family of Richard Halliday urgently calls for the return of their son’s remains. Richard was a brave whistleblower who was murdered for standing up against criminal activities in the borderlands of El Paso, Texas—a community that stands alongside our sister city, Juárez, Mexico. He was killed on Fort Bliss, a U.S. military base that represents safety and security for all who serve.
Unlike many missing-in-action cases, where remains may be lost over vast oceans, jungles, or deserts, Richard was murdered on a U.S. military installation. It is inconceivable that, given the extensive resources and security measures in place at Fort Bliss, a soldier could be killed, and yet, four years later, his family has not received his remains. This egregious injustice cannot be ignored.
As veterans and family members, we understand the cost of duty and honor. We are deeply offended by the current state of our leadership. Our country is not even aware of who is making decisions as the President of the United States, Commander in Chief, in this administration. Meanwhile, the Vice President seems more focused on their campaign than on the serious chaos affecting our military. The choice of a running mate accused of Stolen Valor only adds to the offenses; the values we fought for and supported are clearly being compromised.
This individual, often referred to as “Tampon Tim,” exemplifies the concerning trend of absurd decisions that waste taxpayer resources. The recent push to install tampon dispensers in men’s restrooms is just one glaring example of how disconnected our leaders are from the realities of service members and veterans.
We deserve leadership that fully honors and defends the Constitution of the United States, upholding the principles for which we serve. The Gold Star Halliday family demands the return of their son’s remains. Richard was murdered on Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas—American soil—and his family deserves justice and closure, not absurd costly policies and stolen valor.
Let’s stand together to ensure that the courageous acts of soldiers and whistleblowers like Richard Halliday are recognized and honored, and that his family receives their son’s remains.

Family Calls for Immediate Action to Address Misrepresentation and Protect Fair Competition in the Market
In light of a recent federal court ruling, the Halliday family is urgently seeking the removal of two specific URLs from the internet, citing serious legal violations. The URLs in question pertain to damaging articles about the case of their son, Fort Bliss whistleblower Soldier Richard Halliday and are believed to infringe on copyright, pose misrepresentations, and contravene federal antitrust laws.
The family argues that the existence of these links undermines their rights and contributes to unfair practices. They assert that these URLs not only distort public perception but also undermine the chances of justice by perpetuating harmful narratives that inhibit fair treatment. Their request underscores the necessity for protective measures against content that may be harmful to reputations and future opportunities.
Accompanying their request is a letter from their attorney, Russell Amsberry, which elaborates on the legal grounds for the removal. The family emphasizes the urgency of this situation, urging the responsible parties, including well-known tech firms, to act swiftly in rectifying these violations and preserving fairness in public discourse. As these issues escalate, their plea reflects a growing concern over how misinformation can perpetuate inequities and legal transgressions in today’s digital landscape.
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.
Richard Halliday’s Heroism and Kindness Has Left a Lasting Impact on the Community. Richard Halliday spent a lot of his childhood and teenage years in Ireland, transitioning from a happy child into a well-mannered and honest young man. Known for his helpful nature, he often assisted neighbors without seeking payment, exemplifying his strong sense of community. “He was adored by my boys,” recalls a family friend, highlighting his kind spirit and the admiration he inspired in children. Richard’s character shone through during personal tragedies, as he was a source of support for others in times of need. He was also an eager student of martial arts, displaying a leadership style that was quiet yet impactful. As Frank Williams noted, “The world needs more young men like him,” reflecting the positive impression Richard left on everyone he encountered. Now, as we seek justice for Richard, it’s crucial that authorities return his remains to his family, who deserve closure and respect for their beloved son.

Richard has been officially declared murdered on Fort Bliss by the United States government. There are ongoing investigations at both the state and federal levels. We do not have his remains. We continue to assert our rights as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people to hold the criminals accountable.
