Didn't think about an Amniocentesis. That could be dangerous for the baby, I thought. Here's another picture of the truck:

In my video still can you tell which way the truck is facing toward Maria. Front or back? I can press FN and 2 on my laptop to enlarge the pic, but I still can’t tell. I tried to clean the image up but it turns into pixels. LOL

[Girlene]

The front is facing toward Maria. It looks like a 4-door (or extended cab) like Laurean’s truck was. Was this screen grab pointed out on America’s Most Wanted? IOW, has anyone else noticed this truck behind Maria?

[freema]

Yes, great catch on the truck!

I think he’s dead, BTW.

[IamHD]

No. Not mentioned anywhere else but right here on this thread!

Or dying to get over the border...

****Could have pushed the rape charges along much sooner with one..***

We have been discussing this case as THE ONLY RAPE INVESTIGATION at Camp LeJeune.

Has any reporter asked the question *How many pending rape cases are there?*

[sodpoodle]

Another thought!

Had anyone else filed rape charges against Laurean? Or was Maria an isolated incident? Was she the perfect victim?

"No. Not mentioned anywhere else but right here on this thread!"

WELL, AWESOME FIND, whoever is responsible for this. Should somebody tip off the FBI, AMW, or sheriff's dept?

Here's the original photo that the sheriff's dept put out to try to find the truck. It is NOT Cesear Laurean's truck, but probably close. Plus it gives another angle with the front grill.

Amnio can be very dangerous. They probably thought it was just better to wait since it didn’t have anything to do with the health of the baby.

Good picture of the truck. No running boards. Are those running boards on the ATM shot or is that a reflection? The b&w grainy picture is hard to make out in places.

[Sue Perkick]

At 16:19:57 she looks to her left. May be nothing but it looks like she saw or heard something. Then again she may have just been looking around for no reason.

[Sue Perkick]

So do I.

[Abigail Adams]

If it was his truck in the video, maybe he followed her and “kidnapped” her? Then how did her car get to Laurean’s house? Or maybe he was following her and at some point confronted her, and then coerced her to drive to his house?

[Sue Perkick]

Or he may not have been alone.

[Dante3]

Several have suggested the theory that he kidnapped her. He might have had help.

"No running boards. Are those running boards on the ATM shot or is that a reflection? The b&w grainy picture is hard to make out in places."

I wondered if it was a different color on the bottom, myself, or if it was just the reflection. What do you think of the front grill in the ATM shot when compared to the photo provided by the sheriff's dept that "looked like" Cesear's truck?

[Sue Perkick]

I haven’t seen the front of Cesar’s truck but I believe the sheriff’s picture is of a newer model. Something about the trucks look different. I don’t think those grills will look the same. That seems to be the one thing the manufacturers like to change on trucks.

[Girlene]

Thanks for the side-by-side. Yes, it could be different styles. The one that the sheriff’s dept provided is a little distorted due to the camera angle, but it probably is different than Laurean’s actual truck.
