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.
Oh that is just bizarre!
Interesting. His Nationality has now been changed on the FBI website to “Unknown.”
Now wait a minute. #453 shows the “Unknown,” but these are both from the FBI website.
Glad the FBI is going through this with a fine-toothed comb.

Making fools of themselves is the only thing they know. One of these days.....
WOW! If this report is true this thing is starting to make sense (if you can call it that) Sounds like something might have gone wrong in the process & both mother & child were disposed of. The evidence will tell. Looks like this might end up being even more sick & twisted than we thought.
I’m not sure what the sheriff was alluding to, except that everything surrounding this case is bizarre. I’m assuming the NCIC# is a North Carolina identification number from a driver’s license, maybe? The nationality and place of birth is unknown. How do you not know “place of birth” in the Marine Corps? Don’t you need a birth certificate? Also, where did Laurean use the aliases that the FBI notes?
Awaiting a News Conference at the top of the hour.
I’m wondering if they intended to deliver the baby & claim it as theirs but the baby didn’t survive the attempt?
Really.
I know that I heard something the other day about him being Mexican, but I didn’t want to go down that route until I was certain. Laurean doesn’t sound like a Mexican name to me, but what do I know? I wonder if he could have changed his name for some reason? I’m still highly curious about his family, and their not speaking out. Why would a parent not appeal to a child on American tv? Is it because they don’t want to be seen? Are they illegals?
Forgive me Lord, but I am just speculating.
Who knows? It doesn’t seem the baby was physically seperated from the mother’s body based on the reports, though.
I’m with you on this one.
That’s what I’ve been wondering about. Maybe an artery on the baby was nicked or something. There would be no need to finish the delivery if that happened. Have they said if there was any indication of an attempted C-section on her?
Here is a link to the NCIC. I wonder when Cesar rec’d his NCIC number.

This keeps getting weirder & weirder.
Lol. We just posted the same link.
I would *think* that the Marines, the FBI and everyone with the need to know are aware of this. Maybe Cesar had a record in Mexico? Maybe he used aliases there? Maybe the authorities don’t want this info to be made public just yet so as not to tip off Laurean? I just hope he’s taken down but brought in alive.
Press Conference still hasn’t begun, but expected to start any minute.
I don’t know why they even set a time for them. They’re always late.
