Craz’d and ‘fuzed? ;)
We are dazed and confused because we are learning of discrepancies in Maria’s stories and we cannot bring ourselves to blame the victim. But Maria’s vulnerabilities
are changing my take on this case.
Laurean adamantly denied any sexual encounter, rape or consensual, in the workplace and is portrayed as calmly waiting for a resolution.
What makes Lauterbach’s story suspect is that she waited from the March 26 sexual encounter and then the April 11 sexual encounter until May 11 to report either one. She denied violence, coercion or blackmail.
Then the first preg. test was negative - a subsequent second preg test was positive, at which time she testified that Laurean may/or may not have been the father.
It also appears that the steps taken by the Marine Corps. were thorough & careful, for what was a very tenuous situation.
It’s conceivable that Lauterbach, who was *tired of Marine life* made one final, fatal contact with Laurean - at his house. That must have been when someone, or two snapped.
I still don’t trust that wife.
