Wanda Alander, who lives next door to the Laureans, said officers escorted Christina Laurean into the house around 1 p.m. Sunday. They left shortly afterward.

Richard Alander, Wanda’s husband, said the two of them had discussed additional recollections about the Laureans with investigators Sunday.

Earlier this week, the Alanders said Cesar Laurean had borrowed a shovel several weeks ago. They said Laurean used to tie his small, poodle-like dog to a tree in the backyard but in recent weeks had been tying the dog to a stake in the front yard.

The tree in back was near a burn pit where authorities Saturday removed human remains they think are those of Lauterbach and her unborn child. Dr. Charles Garrett, Onslow County medical examiner, said the remains would be taken to the Chief Medical Examiner’s office in Chapel Hill for further examination to determine identity and cause of death.

This is from jdnews.com story $25,000 reward offered for info on Laurean:

Other tidbits noted by Brown during a press conference included:
-- Lauterbach was likely killed on or about Dec. 15, the day after she was last in contact with people who knew her and the same day she bought a bus ticket to El Paso, Texas.
-- Laurean and his wife, Christina S. Laurean, have an 18-month-old child who is safe with family members.
-- The bodies recovered Saturday were being transported today to the state Medical Examiner's Office in Chapel Hill for autopsies.
-- Maria Lauterbach's missing ATM card was found in Durham over the weekend after tips came in about Cesar Laurean's truck.
-- Christina Laurean, although considered a key, "cooperating" witness, is free to go wherever she wants.

District Attorney Dewey Hudson said he plans to meet with naval investigators this afternoon to discuss the processes followed during the investigation of the rape of which Lauterbach accused Laurean in April.

If Lauterbach was claiming his wife pregnant, I hope they have a good hold on her and their child.
