Noticias Telemundo premieres the podcast Fort Hood -The Vanessa Guillén Case

Noticias Telemundo and The Story Lab, the global entertainment studio, announced the premiere of a new limited-series podcast titled Fort Hood -The Vanessa Guillén Case (7×30´). The series, narrated in English and Spanish by Mexican actress Cecilia Suárez, takes a probing look at the killing of the 20-year-old Army soldier and the questions it raises.

“This is a consequential story that touches on critical issues in our country. It’s a revealing exposé and a necessary investigation. Noticias Telemundo, with The Story Lab, believe this important story deserved a deeper examination and this format allows us to do just that,” mentioned Luis Fernández, president of Telemundo Network News.

“Fort Hood is a great example of the range and scope of new journalistic storytelling. It shows that journalistic rigor and emotions are not incompatible,” commented Toni Garrido, director at The Story Lab.

After disappearing from the Fort Hood Army base in April 2020, Guillén’s remains were found two months later. Investigators say she was killed by a fellow soldier who later fatally shot himself as police tried to take him into custody. Guillén’s family has raised allegations she was sexually harassed before she was killed.

The original podcast series is the latest addition to Noticias Telemundo’s audio content offering. 296+ Días, the first podcast series produced by the investigative unit, Noticias Telemundo Investiga, was launched last year.
