Now at peace

The search for an Iraq war veteran missing from Globe has ended with the discovery of a body.Aaron Tierno's body was found Monday, the victim's family said. He had been missing since Aug. 28.

Because his body was found on the San Carlos Indian Reservation, the Bureau of Indian Affairs has opened its own investigation, police said.Investigators previously said they have evidence that Tierno, 20, was the victim of a robbery. They also have a suspect in the case, but authorities did not release specifics.

According to Ralph Tierno, the missing person's brother, Aaron Tierno finished his shift at an APS construction site near the El Maguey mobile home park in Miami on and headed toward Globe "to get something to eat or drink."

He never arrived home.Authorities later found Aaron Tierno's white 2000 Isuzu Amigo on the San Carlos Indian Reservation, east of Globe, deputies said. The vehicle was completely burned.The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the San Carlos Tribal Police are running their own investigations.

i meat aaron when i was 18 and he was at fort benning. we were seening eachother for about 4 months and he just took off. about a year later he cam across a family member of mine and told her to tell me he was sorry. i wasnt bitter though....the time i knew aaron he treated me like no one ever has, he was sweet and such a gentleman, and told me i was amazing. now that i am married he still seems to cross my mind every now and then and when i decided to look him up, i found out he had passed. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Aaron has been a great friend to me since we both knew each other from basic training at Fort Sill. After the Army we both had plans to travel back to Asia for a while together. I live in Tennessee and have been calling Aaron for the past few months with no answer, I thought he went on another one of his trips overseas. I went to his myspace page to see a few comments stating ( RIP ), so I googled his name and came to this website. What a shame something happen like this to a Great Man. He will be missed.....Miss Ya Brother....... My name is Chris Smith, email is chris11smith@yahoo.com if any new news keep me posted thanks

We were so hoping that you would be found alive. I just wish you had, so you could still be here with us. You did not deserve this. You were such a great person with a good heart and you served our country well.
