“...he was a *respected Marine officer* “
He is NOT an officer!!!!!! He is only a Corporal. That is a lower rank!
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. — The Marine corporal wanted in the slaying of a pregnant colleague who had accused him of rape is likely no longer on the run and has probably gone into hiding, authorities said Tuesday.
"It is believed that he has reached a location where his need to move in high speed or long distance no longer exists," said Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown.
Brown declined to discuss details, including whether detectives believe Marine Cpl. Cesar Armando Laurean had successfully crossed the border into Mexico.
Authorities believe Laurean fled Jacksonville early Friday morning, after leaving a note in which he admitted burying the body of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, who was eight months pregnant at the time of her December disappearance and death. He is the subject of a wide-ranging manhunt that includes a $25,000 reward and billboards with his picture posted in cities nationwide.
Meanwhile, authorities said Tuesday that state medical examiner have confirmed that the remains recovered from Laurean's backyard over the weekend where those of Lauterbach and her unborn child. Dr. Charles Garrett, the Onslow County medical examiner, said Lauterbach died from "tramatic head injury due to blunt force trauma."
In his note, Laurean alleged that Lauterbach committed suicide by cutting her own throat. Brown has consistantly rejected that idea, blood spatters on the ceiling and a massive amount of blood on the wall found inside Laurean's home as signs of a violent confrontation.
