Mexican judge’s recommendation just the beginning
Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, accused of murder in Onslow County and arrested in Mexico after a three-month manhunt, could not immediately waive extradition back to the United States even if he wanted to, officials say.
"I have heard the rumors that he will be back here in a day or two, but there is a process that will take a certain period of time," said Dewey Hudson, district attorney for the 4th Prosecutorial District, which includes Onslow County.
Laurean - indicted for the first-degree murder in the bludgeoning death of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach in December and accused of burying her body and that of her unborn child beneath his backyard fire pit - had his first appearance in front of a judge in Mexico over the weekend, said Capt. Rick Sutherland of the Onslow County Sheriff's Department.
The judge recommended extradition, Sutherland said, adding there are steps to be taken and "we do not know what (Laurean) will want to do."
Laurean has representation in Mexico, said Jacksonville lawyer Wally Paramore, who has been appointed as Laurean's attorney by the state's Capital Defender's Office.
He said he hoped to be in contact with Laurean through his representatives there and would then have a better idea of his client's situation.
Laurean was arrested walking to an Internet cafe, where authorities said he had been using a computer to ask for help from his family - including his wife, Christina Laurean, also a Marine, who has been ordered not to discuss the case. She refused to send money to her husband, local investigators said.
The efforts of law enforcement to eliminate Laurean's resources led to his "impoverished state" living in a tiny wooden cabin and having 10 pesos in his pocket when he was captured, authorities said.
Laurean left Onslow County on Jan. 11 after becoming the focus of the investigation into Lauterbach's disappearance, authorities said. An Internet story about Lauterbach's disappearance and an attached investigation report about Lauterbach's rape allegations were viewed on a computer in Laurean's Meadow Trail home about 4 a.m. that day, detectives learned after seizing the computer.
Laurean rode a bus into his native Mexico, according to the FBI.
I just skimmed thru and this link may be here....BUT I didn’t see it, forgive me if it is.
Lindell Kay from JDNews started a crime blog a few days before CL was caught. In there any one who wanted was allowed to post ?’s to Capt Sutherland and he replied to part 1. Now there is a part 2.....so post away. Looks as if there was an affair between CL and Maria.

Lindell is also working on getting some court docs released now that CL is in custody. Be ready to blow your mind.....
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. — Detectives used e-mail accounts and cell phone records to track a Marine charged with the brutal slaying of a pregnant comrade, according to court documents.
The seven subpoenas released Tuesday paint a detailed picture of how federal authorities and Onslow County detectives tracked Cpl. Cesar Laurean in Mexico.
The first subpoena, filed Feb. 11, asked Internet service provider Road Runner to provide the physical location of an IP address used Jan. 21. Three days later, they asked Road Runner for the same information for another IP address used Feb. 10.
Over the next several weeks, authorities subpoenaed cell phone records from Verizon and the IP logs for two Yahoo e-mail addresses, including Laurean's wife's address.

Onslow County District Attorney Dewey Hudson has said that evidence recovered from the computer Christina Laurean used allowed detectives to identify the Internet cafes in Mexico where Laurean accessed the Internet. At first, the authorities were always a step behind, he said.
But, it appears they caught up with him around April 1 when authorities asked Embarq to provide the phone numbers of all calls made to a phone number with a Jacksonville area code between 7 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. March 31.
