January 11, 2008)--Authorities in North Carolina said late Friday morning pregnant Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach is dead.
They said shes 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.

Like a plot out of a movie.

They just made a couple of corrections in the presser:
The suspect is a Corporal, and he’s the same one she alleged to have attacked her. It’s wasn’t a “Marine officer” as was reported. And he’s not a Sgt either.
Dang reporters. Can’t even get the simple stuff right.

Shaky mental health, possible repercussions—wonder if this was a suicide?

“Court documents show the investigation went sour amid inconsistencies in the woman’s story and allegations that she’s bipolar and a compulsive liar.”
Apparently not sour enough to deter the perp from offing her, though.

I was going to say that it’s kind a hard to bury yourself in a shallow grave after you’ve committed suicide. Maybe not impossible, though.

Court documents show the investigation went sour amid inconsistencies in the woman's story and allegations that she's bipolar and a compulsive liar. But dead.... which says that the smear, which seems to have worked for a time, was somebody's way of trying to impugn her motives.
Lesson: when the accused (the senior officer, in this case) goes ad hominem, it's worth wondering what he's trying to hide.

No, but someone who found her and panicked might have.

Doubt it’s suicide if she’s in a shallow grave.

You don’t. My thinking was that someone found her, panicked, and tried to hide the body. Especially someone who knew he’d be a suspect.

A Corporal claiming he’s a Sergeant? Sure they’re not looking for Adam Kokesh?
