Missing soldier's children are safe

The children of a missing female soldier whose apartment was found smoldering Thursday morning are safe, police said Friday.

2nd Lt. Holley Lynn Wimunc, a 24-year-old nurse who works in the mother and baby ward of Womack Army Medical Center, has been missing since the fire at Morganton Place apartments off Morganton Road.

Police would not say how many children she has or reveal their ages. Detectives offered few new details Friday about the arson investigation and missing-person case.

One of her co-workers reported the fire when she went to check on Wimunc after she didn’t show up for work.

“Womack Army Medical Center staff is very concerned about our soldier and her safety,” Col. Terry Walters, commander of Womack, said in a news release Friday. “The staff and members of her unit are being supported by the command and with counseling available through our unit chaplains.”

Wimunc’s husband, Marine Cpl. John Wimunc, was questioned by police Thursday and Friday at Camp Lejeune, a Marines spokesman said.

A few other Marines were also questioned by police, said Maj. Cliff W. Gilmore, a spokesman for the 2nd Marine Division.
