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.
Yah. Getting out ahead of the facts a little bit.
Vince would have done so, but forgot to bring a shovel.
I am so sorry to hear that, I pray for her family.
Unless the suspect said (to the cops or somebody else) that he killed and buried her.
Yah. Getting out ahead of the facts a little bit.
Or else someone involved has spilled the beans.
Brown said detectives had tried to speak with Lauren, but he refused to do so, on the advise of his attorneys. Authorities said they didn’t consider Lauren a flight risk until Friday, because they had information the pair carried on a “friendly relationship” after she reported the assault to military authorities.

Probably, and she buried herself in a shallow grave..............
Quite possible. If it were me, I think I’d wait till we actually recover a body. But... they seem pretty sure of it.
Very sad, all the way around.
Condolences to Maria Lauterbach’s family and friends.
Now why would I jerk my knee?
They just made a couple of corrections in the presser:
The suspect is a Corporal, and hes the same one she alleged to have attacked her. Its wasnt a Marine officer as was reported. And hes not a Sgt either.
Dang reporters. Cant even get the simple stuff right.
Wow, thats a serious bunch of errors, to say the least. I wondered at the reports of her having an ‘officer roommate’ this morning on Fox.
Wow. The original sory wasn't even close. Typical reporting from the dying socialist "mainstream" press...
The sheriff on FNC ... witness brought in physical evidence.
She buried herself? ;-)
The poor parents. They lost a child and a grandchild.
The step-mother on the other hand didn’t need to blab to the press that her step-daughter was a compulsive liar and bi-polar. I wonder if she really was.
Is the one that got her pregnant the suspect?
Who is the “father” of her baby?
Could it be the “father” and her had a falling out? She files charges of rape and then reconsiders and the “father” simply in anger murders her with all the trouble she has caused? In any event, it’s very sad.
Eight Months Pregnant; if the Child Belonged to the Monster that Murdered her, he Murdered his Own Son/Daughter, as Well. No Punishment is too Great for the Vermin that did this.
I bet her family wished they had not told the press she had a history of lying
The damned media is notorious for this.
BTW, there were over 17,000 murders last year. The media is only interested in those that are sensational.
