****Her family still believes she was scared of Laurean.
.....”She desperately wanted to be deployed to Iraq,” her mother said.
Maria confided to her mother that her attacker was “very popular,” and said, “I know there’s going to be hell to pay for saying anything.””.....***

I so desperately wanted to believe Camp LeJeune’s report. Now -not so much.
The link that maggie found to the
dayton daily news gives a much clearer picture of an investigation that was going nowhere with either the Marine Corps or the sheriff's dept. until the mom and her brother started making lots of noise. And then this...
...."Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown scheduled a news conference at noon and hinted during nationally televised interviews that a positive outcome still seemed possible. That prompted Mary Lauterbach to call the sheriff to see if Maria had been found.
"If we find your daughter, you'll be the first to know," Brown assured her.
Shortly before noon, the sheriff called back with news of some "negative developments."
In her dazed state, Lauterbach didn't think to ask what he meant. She found out along with the rest of the country when, in bold red letters, CNN bannered the headline, "Maria Lauterbach is dead.""......
Unfreakingbelievable. This poor mom found out her own daughter was dead by watching CNN!!!!!
