January 11, 2008)--Authorities in North Carolina said late Friday morning pregnant Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach is dead.
They said she’s buried in a shallow grave, for which investigators are now searching.
They identified the suspect in the case as a Marine officer whom she accused of sexually assaulting her.
Police earlier were planning to interview a man who lived with her and said he would answer questions that "will shed a lot of light on the case."
Authorities said again Friday Marine Sgt. Daniel Durham isn't a suspect, but police believe he's the last person to speak with the Marine.
She disappeared Dec. 14 ahead of her expected testimony in a military investigation into her claim a senior officer had sexually assaulted her.
Court documents show the investigation went sour amid inconsistencies in the woman's story and allegations that she's bipolar and a compulsive liar.
Search warrants show she was facing a possible discharge from the service.
Lauterbach was eight months pregnant when she disappeared.
Why is there blood in the Living Room if she was killed in the garage? I mean did it start in the LR and she ran to the garage?
deb, he used the ATM at the Lowe’s store on the 24th
Lots of dear hunting in NC, so it could be deer (no, I don’t think it is).
WHATTTT?? The neighbor that lent the shovel said that Laurean left on Friday at 8:30 am. ?????? He was wearing a uniform.
It’s on the other side of the street near the Best Buy, I think. When she pointed across the street wasn’t that the big Lowe’s sign?
I heard the story that was just relayed.....that the neighbor saw him at 0630.
They believe most of it happened in the garage. They weren’t too specific about the blood in living room, but they think it was nominal. Maybe Laurean, after his freakin’ frenzy on Marie walked into the living room holding the murder weapon...I don’t really know
DA to Ask Grand Jury for Indictment of Laurean tomorrow!
That could be the case.
I think that they said that they saw him taking the dog out at 6:30, then they saw him leaving at 8:30 in a uniform, no luggage. I could be wrong
The wife?
That woman just said he left at 0630 and was gone, right?
OK,
That’s good news.
LOL I don’t know. There are so many dates and times being thrown around I’m befuddled. :) I’ll check greta’s transcript later on when they’re available.
I’m trying to find a source, so bear with me::: “wife has lawyered up and is now only communicating with LE thru her attorney.”
“Onslow County, North Carolina District Attorney Dewey Hudson told CNN that he was shown “strongly compelling evidence” compiled by federal authorities that shows Laurean is in Mexico.”
From CNN..........
Wife’s attorney is Christopher Welsch or Welsh
HA! Yep, the wife is involved. She stalled for him so he could make it to Mexico.
Is he in Jax?
He’s in Jax. I just looked it up in the phone book.
