On a day we find out exclusively the body of fallen soldier Amy Seyboth Tirador has been exhumed, we're also learning the Army has closed its case in her death. Our Erin Connolly sat down with Seyboth Tirador's father to hear the latest on their search to find the truth.
COLONIE, N.Y. -- There have been two large developments in one day regarding the death of Staff Sgt. Amy Seyboth Tirador of Colonie. First, there's been an official ruling from the Army. And second, we have confirmation, for the first time, that Amy's family has taken matters into their own hands.
"On May 19th, my son-in-law and I did have her exhumed at Saratoga National Cemetery," said her father, Jerry Seyboth.
For the first time, we're learning the soldier's body was exhumed by her husband, Mickey Tirador. It's a fact Amy's father Jerry and Mickey wanted to keep private, but with so many people pointing fingers at Mickey, he wanted to clear up any misunderstandings.
Her father Jerry said, "I don't think he had anything to do with my daughter's death, and I think he's doing everything possible to get to the bottom of it."
Amy died last November in Iraq while serving her third tour of duty. An Arabic translator, Amy went back to the barracks to spend some time with Mickey who was serving in the same unit. The next day, Amy was found with a single gunshot wound to the head.
