Missing 8 mth pregnant Marine Maria Frances Lauterbach- NC #7

You could plainly see the truck that was described in the news sitting right across from our room window," said Martin Nash, a South Carolina businessman who was staying at the hotel.
Trucker Bob Orsulak was staying at the hotel and said he would have noticed the black pickup truck in the parking lot.
“It wasn't there this morning when I came in,” he said.
Nash and hotel clerk Sherrie Joyner said the truck had been in the parking lot since at least Monday, however. Joyner said she doesn't remember seeing Laurean at the hotel, but a housekeeper told authorities she thought someone matching the missing Marine's description had been there.

"They were just trying to see if they had occupied a room here, with all the alias' they gave me, we could not find any match in the system. So it doesn't appear that he stayed here," Joyner said.
An employee said a housekeeper claimed she saw someone matching the suspect's description at the hotel. Authorities entered at least one room at the hotel and then left.

It has occurred to me that maybe Laurean was the person in charge of answering the phone. I know at many of my husband's units, the personnel clerk would be the one answering calls.

I do remember you saying that, and you may be on to something.

Question about CHAT....Where is it? It's not at the top of the page anymore, do tell!

I like the fact on tonite's Nancy Grace she also mentioned how difficult it was for most of us to believe that Christina had no involvement in this case. I really want more information on her. I feel they are protecting her, and wonder how come the same protection wasn't available for Maria and her baby.

I hope she will be the key witness, after they catch Laurean.

:chicken:

All the information that NCIS released is "according" to who? The source of the info gathered should be cause for suspicion, IMO.

KR2, the media in general doesn't believe that about Christina. I love how none of them have quit asking questions about her.

Right, SQ. It's bad enough that the Marines dropped the ball and let Laurean get away.

Keeping silent about her involvement makes the matter worse.

I hope Nancy keeps pressing!

Is Christina in the military? If not, the military has no jurisdiction over her or any ability to investigate her.

I have not seen or heard the presser. But I think someone posted that NCIS said Christina is active Military. Their involvement would only be for the rape if I understand correctly. The murder was civil.

Today on the military presser they said that the wife was active duty. She is a LCpl.

Hmmmmm . . . I was thinking of her differently. Very interesting. She's a Marine, huh? Trained in killing, probably not very squeamish about blood and stuff. Gee, and I already thought she was involved before this!

Hey guys--I'm several pages behind, playing catch-up!

I just wanted to ask if everyone could please ease up on the quote function. There are a lot of five-paragraph reposts, followed by a one-sentence post.

Thanks!

And convenient access to people she could recruit in her and Cesars campaign of harassment against Maria.

We have a forum? Thank you!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

So good morning everyone! I just read someones post about the rape being handled at a until level.. Let me just say that explains everything! I have been around the military all my life and I have seen so many things ''unit level'' covers up for their boy's! They will never rat each other out no matter what the circumstances are. They have a bond, sometimes it's not such a good thing though... If someone does try and be a better person and snitch they will probably be beat to death if not beat senseless. A few years ago hubby and I got into it due to someone in his unit ALSO being accused of rape of a 16yr old. My husband would not budge. When I asked him why he was so sure his buddy didn't do it he looked at me all mad like and said because he didn't do it ok? He would never (not even to this day) say another word about it.

Woow, that s*cks sadie....

Watch the video of Laurean's next-door neighbor @
http://www.foxnews.com/ontherecord/#

It's part-way down the page, under the heading "Murdered Marine Mystery."

Greta's stand-in starts out talking about cast-off on the ceiling and walls, then introduces the interview, during which neighbor (name sounds like "Richard Allander") gives this info:

1. Laurean was having a bonfire in his backyard on Christmas Eve.
2. Laurean borrowed a shovel from Allander @ 12/16.
3. 12/16 or 12/17 Allander saw Laurean driving Maria's car.
4. Christina talked to Allander's wife frequently and, sometime after Christmas, Xtina mentioned that she and "stellar" <gag> would be painting inside the house.
5. Last time Allander saw Xtina Laurean: Thursday, Jan. 10.
6. Allander's wife saw Cesar Laurean in his driveway, getting ready to leave @ 6:30 a.m. Fri Jan 11 when she took her dogs for a walk.

Allander said he saw the removal of the bodies from beginning to end, said he never wants to see anything like that again.

here's an updated article with lots of info....imo


"You could plainly see the truck that was described in the news sitting right across from our room window," said Martin Nash, a South Carolina businessman who was staying at the hotel. "I didn't know that when I came to stay up here, I was going to be right in the middle of a national story."

An employee said a housekeeper claimed she saw someone matching the suspect's description at the hotel. Authorities entered at least one room at the hotel and then left.

also...

Lauterbach told military investigators in May that she had been raped by Laurean, Hill said. After initially telling authorities that her pregnancy resulted from the rape, she later backed off that claim when physicians estimated her conception date at May 14, he said.

Still, Camp Lejeune officials issued protective orders to keep Laurean away from Lauterbach that stretched from mid-May until mid-December, he said. Officials also transfered Lauterbach to a different position on base so the two wouldn't cross paths, he said.

Ciccarelli said Lauterbach told investigators that she and Laurean had a consensual sexual encounter last March and that they had another encounter in April while on duty. The case was investigated as a rape because that was her initial claim, he said, noting she later told investigators there was no force or coercion used in the April encounter.

Tks seven for posting the link.
Hadn't seen that one.....
Bet, when this goes to trial he and/or his wife will be testifying..

The note found at Maria's residence says something like 'I couldn't take the Marine life anymore....' I have really high doubts that she wrote that. Ask any military member & to them that is a sign of weakness. They take major pride in wearing that uniform. I think that either or 's wife wrote it to further bash Maria... IMO Maria was the stellar soldier who even after going through all the he** she was put through she still showed up everyday and faced her responsibilities to the Corps. Sucks that they didn't feel the same about her.

Your right. I just hope they do send the 2 notes to a handwriting specialist.

After catching up, there is one obvious question no one seems to be asking here....HOW did Laurean GET her pin number for the ATM card to be able to use it? We know he did use it and withdrew the $400.00. Did they watch her withdraw the $700.00 and learn of it? Did they beat it out of her?

I don't believe Maria simply said, "Here is my ATM card and my pin number is xxxx. Please help yourself to the money I will need to raise my child."

I haven't been on much since the presser, but my take on that press conference is this: Laurean denied any sexual encounter took place with Maria (which was my theory). Since he denied any involvement, the pregnancy was the smoking gun. He had locked himself into his story and did not see another way out. He was going to lose everything if they found out the baby was, in fact, his. He would have to admit he lied to everyone including his wife and who would believe now that it was just an affair (not a rape)?

This means they could have had an affair of sorts if the accounts are accurate as to what she told the advocate on base and the prosecutors, but maybe during this "affair"...he initiated behavior she felt couldn't or wouldn't do (anal sex, etc.) at which time he did not stop as he had done before at her request. We don't know her sexual history, but from guessing I would say she probably did not have much experience. This could be a problem in how she reported the incident because maybe they didn't ask the right questions and she was embarrased or ashamed to reveil the entire story. However, the military must be leaving out something she said because what they reported does not constitute rape if it was consensual sex and the case would never have gone forward, imo. They would have no reason to even investigate it as such and would have NOT filed the case without a substantial claim initially. SOMETHING is missing from their report.
