FORT CARSON, Colo. -- The U.S. Army is offering a $15,000 reward in an effort to solve the suspicious death of a former soldier whose body was found floating in a wastewater treatment plant at Fort Carson in 2006.

The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, known as CID, said the reward is offered to anyone with information that leads to the apprehension and conviction of whomever may have been responsible for the death of Joseph Eric Barker, 21, of Tulsa, Okla.

"We are confident that someone out there knows something about the death of Mr. Barker and we are not resting or giving up until we determine exactly what transpired," Army CID Special Agent Christopher Vitatoe said Monday. "We strongly encourage anyone with information to do the right thing and contact us immediately."
