Rape in the military is an institution..

The daughter of Dr. John Johnson, a service veteran, and Linda Johnson, Johnson was born and grew up in Florissant, Missouri.

She was raped, tortured, beaten, executed with a failed attempt at burning her body. They poured lye or some kind of acid in her vagina to remove DNA evidence. She had bite marks, scratch marks all over her tiny 5 foot 100 lb. body. Her shoulder was dislocated, she had a broken neck, a small bullet hole in her left temple, cracked mandible, her teeth were smashed in, her nose was broken on both sides and concave from being hit with a blunt object in her face. Her mouth had cuts and tears, her vaginal wall was hanging out with numerous tears.

Despite all of this evidence on her body, the Army classified her death as – WAIT FOR IT – A SUICIDE!

This is something the military is notorious for when it comes to suspicious deaths of female soldiers. Its always “suicide”.

Yes. 5’0 100 lb. La Vena managed to shoot herself on the wrong side of the head with her M16 rifle (her father says it was clearly a hand gun based on the size of the hole), and then bite herself all over her torso, bust her teeth, tear her vagina up, break her nose, pour lye acid her in genetalia, light parts of her body on fire and then try to burn down the tent?????? YES. That is what the Army and its superiors, investigators and autopsy “specialists” would have you and her parents believe! They have concluded that La Vena committed suicide – case closed.

Johnson's death was officially ruled a suicide by the Department of Defense However, her father became suspicious when he saw her body in the funeral home and decided to investigate. The Army initially refused to release information, but did so under the Freedom of Information Act after Representative William Lacy Clay, Jr. raised questions about it at the congressional hearings over Pat Tillman's death.

The autopsy report and photographs revealed Johnson had a broken nose, black eye, loose teeth, burns from a corrosive chemical on her genitals, and a gunshot wound that seemed inconsistent with suicide. Several reporters have suspected that the chemical burns were to destroy DNA evidence of a rape.
A spokesman from the House Armed Services Committee said in June 2008 that the committee was looking into Johnson's death, but they were not yet committing to a formal investigation. Christopher Grey, chief of public affairs for the U.S. Criminal Investigative Command for the Army has said that the case remains closed as far as they are concerned.[6]

Following a February 2007 KMOV news report on Johnson's death, an online petition addressed to the House Armed Services Committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee was launched. This was followed by the creation of an official LaVena Johnson website dedicated to developments in prompting a new Army investigation of her death. The petition closed on May 24, 2008 with nearly 12,000 signatures; preparations are being made for delivery to the two committees. In July 2008, the online black activist group Color of Change launched another online petition[7] calling on Henry Waxman, chair of the House Oversight Committee, to conduct a hearing into LaVena Johnson's death and the Army's handling of her case and others like it.

A documentary film about LaVena Johnson's family struggle for justice was made in 2010, directed by Joan Brooker and titled LaVena Johnson: The Silent Truth.

On July 19, 2011, the criminal justice students in the Cold Case Investigative Research Institute (CCIRI) run as a student club by three universities, selected Johnson's case, as their case for investigation. The CCIRI's crime scene reconstruction will help shed light on this case that has attracted worldwide attention.
