Did he order the Code Red?

A career Navy fighter pilot and former Top Gun instructor takes charge at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in a low-key ceremony on Friday, completing a transition that started in January with the unceremonious removal of the base’s last commander.

Culpepper replaces Navy Capt. Scott Gray who since Jan. 21 filled in as base commander after their boss, Rear Adm. Mary Jackson, fired Nettleton “due to a loss of confidence” in him.

The body of commissary worker Christopher Tur, 42, was found in the bay near the base airstrip on Jan. 11. He’d gone missing a day earlier, after last being seen in the Officer’s Club. The base undertook a massive search that included having troops go door to door in the trailer park housing U.S. forces on temporary prison duty before his body was found in the water.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service conducted a still-open probe, according to NCIS spokesman Ed Buice, and advertised on the base’s internal TV network asking people to come forward with tips.

On Thursday, both NCIS and the Armed Forces Medical Examiner’s office said the autopsy report was complete but would not release it, citing the ongoing investigation.

At the time of Tur’s death, his wife was working as the base commander’s director of the Fleet and Family Support Center which, according to a Navy site, provides counseling and crisis intervention “during some of the most stressful and challenging times of a military career.”
