Laurean in Mexico

[Truly]

oops, sorry for double posting what you said, kathyn, didn't see it!

And I agree, sadie, that Christina had a whole day to cover up and I think she did. But there is the greater concern that The Marine Corps had eight months to prosecute a rape, and they did not. They had from Dec 19th to Jan 7th to look for Maria, and they did not. I would not be surprised if the Laureans are in protective Marine custody, to keep the Marine Corps from "looking bad". Reminds me of the perfect citizen dad who nobody will believe is a child molester.

I want to see some real Honor from the military. Too many women soldiers have been assaulted by their fellow soldiers, and nothing is ever done except to cover it up.

Hi Jinxie, I hope you're feeling better!

Thank you for the good thoughts^^

And thanks to both of you for the answer about the reward monies...


Now, Maria will be entitled (not sure IF her family would want it after all thats happened BUT) to a military funeral right? Or no, since they had classified her as "UA". Obviously, we know she wasn't, but they've weirded things up so badly, who knows if they've really "revoked" that status yet, or if it's going to be "We got sidetracked w/ other developements, and paperwork fell through the cracks etc)

 

[SeriouslySearching]

This thread is about Mexico and Laurean. Maybe we should discuss such things like Military funerals on another thread?

We aren't following Chico's suggestion to broaden the forum with new threads and we keep piling them all together. I will go start a few more. : )

Moved from Gen. Topic Thread:

Sorry that was a figure of speech.
I don't think they'll send a division down but I do think CL will be found. I believe we have american agents in Mexico who live there, who have connections, and of course speak fluent Spanish. They and the the sheriff (local law enforcement) and Marine investigators must be working with the mexican authorities and are sharing info. You can be sure local police are being encouraged to cooperate by watching his relatives and checking out leads. Other Americans have been extradicted and been brought back. By the way in the early 1990's 70% of the Mexican population owned a TV set. It has to be higher by now. One of our congressmen wote a letter to President Calderon requesting that CL be extradited not to mention the $25,000 reward. When CL comes back it will be interesting to see who will escort him.

Chiperoni, I agree with you. If Mexico is anything like CR, most people own a tv set. You may see the most humble shacks and yet most of them own a tv. And the majority of the middle class owns several tvs and have cable access. Cable is very big here in Central America, and most people try to speak and understand English, so they very often watch the news and other programs as practice.

So I am hoping that 's face will become familiar to Mexicans and that 25 K reward will entice someone to turn him in. Believe me, 25 thousand $ is a lot of money in Central America ! It is up to LE and the FBI to distribute wanted posters and keep this fresh. We just have to be patient and keep praying.

I know in my heart that justice will be done for Maria and Gabrielle.

Can the US offer a reward for 's return to our country? Seriously, does anyone know?
Maybe the US can bargin with Mexico...How about legally allowing whoever turns in, immediate citizenship?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

There is already a reward being offered of $25,000.00. This should be enough to entice someone in Mexico to turn him in...IF they ever advertise it there. We know they are not rushing to put out posters or billboards.

They won't put a "bounty" on his head for someone to kidnap and illegally bring him across tho.

Deal offered
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - If a Marine wanted in the killing of a 20-year-old pregnant colleague is arrested in Mexico, he will not face lethal injection in North Carolina under a deal offered by prosecutors to the Marine and Mexican authorities.

Investigators believe Cpl. Cesar Laurean has fled to his native Mexico, which refuses to send anyone back to the U.S. unless provided assurances they won't face the death penalty.

It figures.

 

[FMRUSMC]

The DA saying that if he is in Mexico the death penalty comes off the table disturbs me in that by advertising that little fact gem, all the other murderers present and future now know where to go. Mexico. Guaranteed no DP and no real guarantee of extradition. Great.

Why doesn't the military override the DA in this case? Haven't they in the past? Get Laurean back here first and have a military trial. He killed a fellow marine.

Amen, let's go get the .

A Provisional Arrest Warrant was issued in Mexico by a Mexican court for the arrest of Cesar Laurean. This happened right after our meeting with officials at the embassy.

This is great news ! Hopefully something will happen soon. : :behindbar

I ran across this article which gives me hope of finding and getting an extradition for Cesar Laurean. However, the man was not from Mexico.

The man who authorities said fled to Mexico after he allegedly killed a University of Nevada, Reno associate professor in August has been transported to the Washoe County Jail following an extradition process facilitated by federal authorities.

Mohamed Kamalaudeen, 51, known locally as Rickey Barge, was booked Thursday on a warrant charging him with the Aug. 18 stabbing death of Judy Calder, 64. He is being held without bail.

From:

http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/01-28-2008/0004744403&EDATE=

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Interpol-United
States National Central Bureau (USNCB), a component of the U.S. Department
of Justice, has requested the issuance of an Interpol Red Notice seeking
the world-wide location, apprehension, and extradition of Cesar Armando
Laurean-Ramirez. Laurean-Ramirez is the North Carolina Marine wanted for
1st Degree Murder of a missing Marine from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
Working closely with the investigating agencies, the Onslow County
Sheriff's Department and the Onslow County District Attorney's Office, as
well as the FBI, the USNCB broadcasted an international "All Points
Bulletin" to law enforcement agencies in 185 countries and the Interpol
General Secretariat, located in Lyon, France on January 26, 2008.

. . . The Notice is distributed to all member
countries in four official languages, English, Spanish, French, and Arabic
and remains in effect until the fugitive is captured.

Excellent information, Steadfast. I am glad they published in Arabic, as 2200 Marines from Camp Lejeune were ordered to Afghanistan on the morning that Maria's body was found and Laurean clocked in and then disappeared. This is a very hopeful development. 'Course, bin laden has managed to hide out in that area without being discovered for 7 years, so who knows...? Just kidding, that is a great link. Thank you.

I agree with Greta ~ "FINALLY". They do move slowly don't they?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Dewey Hudson, DA, said he didn't have confirmation of the Mexican Authorities issuing a warrant for his arrest on NG. So what is up with that?!

Perhaps LE does not think he is in Mexico? After all, no law enforcement has even approached his family in Mexico. All we have to go on is that he is of Mexican heritage, and that one reporter interviewed somebody at a liquor store. The Mexico story could very well be a ruse. I do wish this guy would be captured and placed behind bars very soon. And I wish he had not been allowed to disappear so easily from Jacksonville, NC.

 

[Truly]

Correction: I wish that he had not been allowed to dissappear so easily from Camp Lejeune. Onslow County did not have all the information that The Marines had connecting Laurean as a suspect in Maria's disappearance. I think that the good ol boy system is alive and well in the US military, meaning that the assailants will be protected, while the victim is humiliated, degraded, and punished. There are thousands of cases to back up my assertion. Hopefully this case will break that old mindset wide open for good.
