Murder of Gregory “Grego” Morales (Texas, 2020–2022)

This episode of The Murder Tape Khronicles examines the disappearance and death of Gregory Morales, a U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Hood whose unexplained absence in 2020 was initially classified as AWOL and left unresolved for nearly two years. Told from the perspective of a first-person detective narrator, the story follows the documented timeline of Morales’s last confirmed movements, the administrative decisions that delayed a full investigation, and the broader context of misconduct and oversight failures at Fort Hood during the same period. The narrative traces how Morales’s case resurfaced amid wider institutional reviews, leading to the 2022 discovery of his remains and the confirmation of homicide. Grounded strictly in verified records, forensic findings, and official reviews, the episode focuses on what is known, what was delayed, and what remains unanswered, presenting a factual account of a case shaped as much by systemic breakdowns as by the crime itself.
