A Fort Bragg soldier was charged with kidnapping and raping a 16-year-old girl and then leaving her for dead several years ago in Texas, authorities said.

Levi Austin Goss, 24, has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and aggravated kidnapping in the horrific 2013 cold case, in which he allegedly hit the victim with an ax, sexually attacked her and then hit her with the ax again, according to court documents.

Police were able to link Goss to the case by a DNA match provided to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences by the U.S. Army, Harris County authorities said on Tuesday.

Goss' DNA sample was uploaded into the Army's databank because he was under investigation for an alleged sexual assault that took place while he was in the Army, the officials said. The circumstances and disposition of that case were not immediately clear.

3. The fact that this person was captured and DNA evidence has been variefied is

...amazing.. !! Outstanding police work.. So to escape any chance of capture, this guy joined the Army. And I suspect that he thought he would get away with it by doing so. I guess he was wrong about that..

Many people think the same thing..I can get away with anything. And often they are wrong too.

4. Loathsome is not a strong enough word to describe this guy.

Give him his day in court, and once he's found guilty, pack him off to prison and let him rot. He's proven that he's not able to coexist with civilized human beings.
