CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – As the investigation into the murder of a Fort Campbell soldier continues, new details surrounding the cause of her death have emerged, including that she was stabbed dozens of times.

On May 18 around 8:33 p.m., police responded to an ambulance call to a home in the 900 block of Tiny Town Road in Clarksville. Inside was a deceased woman, 23-year-old Army Pfc. Katia Duenas Aguilar. Police promptly ruled it a homicide.

Since then, details about Duenas-Aguilar’s murder and the investigation have been slim, and no arrests have been made. But an autopsy report obtained by Clarksville Now sheds some light on the circumstancing surrounding her death.

Autopsy report

According to the autopsy report completed June 28 by Dr. Brianne Flynn, a Nashville forensic pathologist, the victim had at least 55 stab wounds and 13 incised wounds, resulting in approximately “68 sharp force injuries,” predominantly to her neck.

39 of the stab and incised wounds were on the right side of her neck, fatally severing the carotid artery. She had several other such wounds to her head, chest and shoulder.

The report determined the manner of death as homicide.

Toxicology report

According to the toxicology report Flynn requested by NMS Labs, Duenas-Aguilar had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.161.

In Tennessee, the legal limit for driving while under the influence (DUI) is 0.08. According to an article by the University of Notre Dame, a BAC of 0.130 to 0.159 can cause gross motor impairment and lack of physical control as well as blurred vision and major loss of balance.

Additionally, the report detailed 30 mcg/dL of Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB), which is a Schedule I controlled substance that also goes by the brand name Xyrem. According to the report, the amount of GHB in Duenas-Aguilar’s system was at the level of “wakefulness.”

$55,000 reward

Duenas-Aguilar entered the active-duty Army as an information technology specialist in 2018, according to previous reports. She completed basic combat training and advanced individual training at Fort Eisenhower (previously Fort Gordon), Georgia, before reporting to Fort Campbell in 2019.

Since her death, the League of United Latin American Citizens, (LULAC), has announced it would reward any information that leads to an arrest and conviction with $25,000. The family of Duenas Aguilar has offered an additional $30,000 reward.
