-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- The Marine husband of a slain Fort Bragg soldier was charged with murder Monday and another Marine was charged with aiding the crime , a local police chief said . Fayetteville , North Carolina , police released this undated photo of 2nd Lt. Holley Wimunc . Authorities have been searching for the missing soldier , Army 2nd Lt. Holley Wimunc , 24 , since a fire torched her North Carolina apartment on July 10 . Marine Cpl. John Wimunc and fellow Marine Lance Cpl. Kyle Alden were initially charged with arson , but after police interviews Wimunc was charged with first-degree murder , said Fayetteville Police Chief Tom Bergamine . Alden was charged with felony accessory after the fact to first-degree murder , Bergamine said . Both were taken to Cumberland County 's jail and held without bond , he said . Earlier , a witness found a charred body in woods , but Detective Jeff Locklear told reporters that police were still awaiting a positive identification from the medical examiner and could not say for certain it was Holley Wimunc . The lieutenant 's father released a statement about the death Monday in which he said his daughter was a nurse at a military hospital and had two children . `` It is with profound sadness that our family just received the news from authorities that our beloved daughter Holley is dead , '' Wimunc 's father said in a statement released to CNN affiliate WRAL in Raleigh , North Carolina . `` Since last Thursday 's shocking news about Holley 's burned apartment and her missing person status , our family through the country has nonetheless been holding on to a thin thread of hope that she would be found alive . '' Military officials said both Marines were stationed at Camp Lejeune , which is about two hours away from Wimunc 's Fayetteville home . Joe Lenczyk -- resident agent-in-charge for the federal Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives -- said Wimunc and her husband were estranged and lived apart . Wimunc is the second female soldier from Fort Bragg to die under suspicious circumstances in recent weeks . Spc. Megan Lynn Touma , 23 , was seven months pregnant at the time of her death in June , authorities said . Investigators say they are treating that death as a homicide . Camp Lejeune also has had a suspicious death of a female soldier this year . Twenty-year-old pregnant Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach 's charred body was found January in the back yard of another Marine stationed at the base . That suspect , U.S. Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean , was captured in April in Mexico .
