***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.
did maria know christina - the wife? I see they are both from ohio.
Maybe she wanted to run away, took out money, left the note, and then went to his house to try to convince him to come with her? A man might be angry if his mistress showed up at his house, demanding that he leave his wife. But I don’t know how the “wife is pregnant” story fits in with all this, unless he was thinking of Maria as his future wife or something.
The whole consensual/assault story and timeline is very confusing!
