Here's What We Know

Also known as Gregory Wedel (taking his wife's last name in marriage), Morales was seen on Aug. 19, 2020 driving his vehicle off post in Killeen. He last spoke with his wife the next day on August 20th. After receiving a tip with the location of his body, authorities discovered his skeletal remains in a field on Florence Road in Killeen back in June 2020. This was two weeks into the search for SPC Vanessa Guillen. I'm sure we have all heard of her case in some form or fashion.
