The U. S. Army has changed its story more than once about the death of a Fredericksburg medic in Iraq.

First reported as accidental, then self-inflicted, the death has turned into a murder investigation.

When Specialist Morganne McBeth died in Iraq July 2, the death was first listed as resulting from non-combat injuries.

The 19-year-old's parents told the Fredericksburg Free Lance Star that they were then told that their daughter accidentally stabbed herself.

Next they heard McBeth was accidentally stabbed by someone else.

And eventually commanders told them two other soldiers were involved and the death had been classified as murder.
