As of 10 am, a reward has been offered for info leading to his arrest. $25,000.
Suspect has 18 mo child.
Wife considered a key witness and is cooperating.
Body being transfered to Chapel Hill for autopsy.
Tips coming from Raleigh-Durham. Truck sighting there and Maria’s ATM card found there this weekend.
When Maria’s mother reported her missing to the Sheriff’s Department, Laurean’s name was not included in mother’s report. Focus in the beginning was possibility that Maria fled on her own. Mother stressed that Maria was a liar and her mental health. Focus was on finding Maria leaving on her own, not that someone else was responsible.
I figured he would be in Mexico by the weekend. He’s getting some help. Those people should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
