HeadlineNov 10, 2004

The U.S. Army has announced it will launch an investigation into how the military handled the case of New Jersey National Guard Lt. Jennifer Dyer. In August, Dyer reported she was raped at a base in Mississippi. Then last week the army declared her to be AWOL because she had refused to return to the base where she was raped. The Newark Star Ledger is now reporting that army has dropped its demand that Dyer return to the base.
