Yep! They said that they aren’t writing experts. LOL

So was the note hand written, IamHD?

Sodpoodle, I agree, the paternity will fill in a clue, but there is so much fog in the reporting that just came out. If she "says" she had consensual sex on two occasions, why would the military progress with a hearing on rape?

I'm wondering if there was some loose deal that went bad. He's telling buds on base for a few months that his wife is pregnant. Her last conversation with her mom is about adoption (with the mom encouraging it). In that conversation, she argued with her mom. IOW, she was indicating on the 14th she wanted to keep it. She ends up dead in Laurean's home on the 15th.

I'd be asking the wife to take a polygraph, about now, with regard to what she knew and when.

They didn’t specically say, although the Colonel stated that the writing was “similar,” to Maria’s, I am assuming that it was written rather than typed.

***If she “says” she had consensual sex ***

She described consensual sex...but she still filed rape charges.

As in the Scott Peterson, Mark Hatten, & other cases of murdered pregnant women...the emotional dynamics are in the stratosphere. I cannot relate, but there’s a pregnant woman who has had sex with a married man, whose baby may be his...and a former marine-wife with a toddler. Can you even imagine the range of anger in that triangle?

Laurean has an uncontrolled lust for Lauterbach.
Lauterbach is mad as hell that he got her pregnant and ended her military career.
Wife is jealous, betrayed and plus, her husband is about to be jailed or drummed out of the Marine Corps.
