...shack at 4:30, just before the sun rises. Esther's father Daiton Malinga died of AIDS in April 1997. Her mother Nelia Nefitara died of AIDS in January 1998. Esther's eldest sister, Napiri, died in 1993. The next eldest sister, Martha, died in 1995. Esther is the third sister.

Then his kidneys began to fail. Then his liver shut down. And just...
With the beer gone, soldiers drifted away. Winchell was taking care of the battalion's mascot, an Australian blue heeler named Nasty. Dogs aren't allowed in barracks rooms, so he pulled a cot from the third-floor room he shared with Fisher, 26, onto the open-air landing. What happened next is based on what Fisher has told the Army. His credibility is questionable, though, because he faces charges of lying to Army investigators, in addition to conspiring with Glover to murder Winchell and being an accessory to the crime. Sometime after 2 a.m., Fisher said Glover saw Winchell...
