From the article: “”As authorities recovered Maria Lauterbach’s remains Saturday from a fire pit where they suspect Marine Cpl. Cesar Armando Laurean burned and buried her body, her family asked why authorities didn’t treat her case with greater urgency.””
Perhaps because her step-mother described Maria as a compulsive, bi-polar liar!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps.
However, that does not negate the fact that the mother did everything she could possibly have done to alert every authority at hand that she feared for her daughter’s welfare as evidenced by police documents.
I will say that I think the Sheriff’s Department did everything possible within their jurisdiction and I would love to get in Ed Brown’s head for his thoughts on this case.
