The local medical examiner says investigators found the burned remains about six inches underground. They will have to be identified using dental records.

I flicked through several stations, and not much of anything was said that we don't already know.

 

[SuziQ]

Is is true that Maria withdrew the charges as the article said? If so, then what was so threating to Lorean? Or am I missing something here?

I can't get to a tv.......would someone please post what cnn says??

Thanking in advance!!!

This is my thoughts on that. She was raped, filed charges then the harrasment begins. She's gotten slugged and her car keyed and is being threatened by her rapist and his friends with losing her job. So she recants the charges. She is now being faced with making a false report and really is in danger of being kicked out of the marines. Now she's in between a rock and a hard place. To prove her innocense she now has to prove the rape charges. Hence the pending DNA test. And it got her killed.

What I don't understand is why didn't the Marines move one of them to a different location during the investigation? Seems like a simple solution to all of this.

I agree suziq

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Authorities detailed gruesome evidence of a pregnant Marine's death Saturday as they excavated human remains from a fire pit where they believe a comrade she accused of rape burned and buried her body.
Investigators have found blood spatters on the ceiling and a massive amount of blood on the wall of the home of Marine Cpl. Cesar Armando Laurean, Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown said. It appeared that someone had tried to wash and paint over the blood, he said.
"I believe this is going to be a bizarre discovery today," Brown said. "The blood splatters indicate a violent, violent attack."
In a fire pit in the backyard of Laurean's home, authorities found burnt human remains buried up to a foot in ashes and dirt, said Dr. Charles Garrett, the county medical examiner. Once state investigators finish slowly scraping dirt from the site, protected by a tarp and two white tents, the remains will be sent to the state medical examiner's office in Chapel Hill for identification using dental records.
Garrett did not provide any other details, including whether the remains included those of a child.
A nationwide search for Laurean continued Saturday, a day after Brown identified him as the key suspect in the death of 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Maria Frances Lauterbach. She disappeared in December, just days after meeting with military prosecutors to talk about her allegation that Laurean raped her. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/MISSING_MARINE?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: That is my thought exactly! I have to wonder by them leaving her in such a vulnerable position if maybe they were trying to intimidate her to drop the charges. Then the Marines come out looking all sqeeky clean and we all know how important that is to them.:furious:

You know, it wasn't "the military" who dropped the ball and contributed greatly to this tragedy. By that, I mean it wasn't some anonymous entity. She should have been protected by specific, identifiable people after she brought rape charges, and these people should have appropriately reacted to her disappearance. If they dropped the ball, and it's looking like they sure did, they need to be held accountable.

Exactly Steadfast.Her and his CO of their duty station is the first one that should be held accountable(She prolly went to her own CO first).When she brought charges there would have been her CO and the head honcho of the base making descions on things.Probaly a couple of other officers.Those people imo need to be held accountable and discharged along with the people harassing her.That sheriff needs to be fired imo.He let the military officals get in the way and taint this young girl.He should have been man enough to do what his county elected him to do!


ETA:Her Chain of command let her down.*I was trying to think of the term used and just had a brain fart.Will be interesting to see what happens to her chain of command.Will there be just 1 who takes the fall?

She bought a bus ticket to El Paso ( never used) a day or so before she was reported missing. What was in El Paso? And why wasn't she going to drive her car? She asked if she could leave her car at the bus depot.

Reports say she and Cesar L. were on "friendly terms" and that they still worked together in the same office.

Was he playing her along, implying that he cared for her, so she'd drop the charges? Did he tell her he'd meet her in El Paso... and he'd drive her car there?

Someone moved the car shortly after the ticket was bought, from the bus depot to a diner/fast food place, where it was left for several weeks.

How did she get to his house, where she was murdered?
Did he lure her there? Did she go there to confront Cesar's wife?
Was the wife involved in the murder?

I'm sure she was afraid for her life, from the threats, abuse, and harassment she received. (Been there, when I went thru an abusive divorce.)

Did she drop the charges because she feared for her life? (I did.)

Did he make promises he wouldn't keep, to keep her silent? (Mine did.)

Just some Hmmm questions I have.....

P.S. People used to tell me almost everyday that I was so lucky to be
alive and to be rid of the creep I married.

[peace9274]

It makes me so sad that so many other women didn't get away alive.
As a psych nurse/case manager... I try to help many other abused
women get away. It's frustrating when they don't leave or won't press charges.

But, I now understand their reasons for not leaving, their excuses for defending the jerks, their thinking they won't be physically harmed, .....
AND their believing his love, charm and charisma are authentic.

I agree. I know that when I was married to a Marine Corps officer, it was still a "good ole boys" network. It would not surprise me one bit if it were the exact same way now. Just think about it. If this girl's own mother is bad mouthing her, it was the perfect excuse for the military to take the married Marine's word that there either was no sex or that the sex was consensual. My bet is that he said that she made up the story completely. That's why he murdered her, because his story was about to be proven a lie.

Her superiors have the perfect out, thanks to this poor girl's mother. I'm sorry, but there would be no way that I would say anything bad about my child. Heck, my child is far worse than her child; and I still would not say anything bad. That's just my opinion.
