Cameron Chamberlain in an interview with a local television station said her husband struggled with depression and speculated that his dissatisfaction with leadership at the Fort Cavazos base where he was stationed was a factor in his disappearance.
“When I met him, he was a carefree, loving, laid back person. He didn’t have a mean bone in his body,” she told KWTX. “He had no hate in his heart. He was a happy man. And [Fort Cavazos] and his leadership completely destroyed him.”
