Missing 8 mth pregnant Marine Maria Frances Lauterbach- NC #3

[BeavisMom62]

I'm currently reading the CNN transcripts, so forgive me if this has already been discussed elsewhere -


It states that he hired 3 attorneys quietly and skipped @ 4am.


Does this mean he hired the attorneys BEFORE he skipped (like, middle of the night?) I thought I recalled hearing he already had a lawyer or two? WHere does the 3rd come in? Can you hire an attorney in the middle of the night? If so, Not to be rude, but do Military members make that kind of money? I would think it wouldn't be cheap to retain someone, of a case of this caliber, the charges pending etc. If I"m recalling the amount that certain ranks are paid, combined w/ having a small child, regular bills and stuff...well...I think ya'll know where I'm going with this one?

Also, if he truly left at 4am. How did the wife NOT KNOW? I'm sorry, if hubby or the kiddos gets up in the middle of the night. I"M UP in the middle of the night. Yes, I may go right back to bed....But I'm assuming that this guy didn't just up and walk out the house w/o a word said. And IF that did occur well, if it was me, you'd better believe I'd be asking him WTF did he think he was going LOL>

I'm just wondering if wifey and him were not up all night "discussing" what to do, she gives him a headstart of about 4 hours. Their kiddo wakes up, and she decides to "start the day"

Think about it just for a second...It's the WEEKEND - no courts are usually open, I know here the joke is that you do bad stuff(Small scale, speeding, having bonfires etc) on the weekends, because the "big wigs" are not in, and the force is usually running at a minimum. Any chance this might have come into play?

I agree! I'm not sure if his attys were military or civilian, but I'm pretty sure if they were military, you don't have to pay them. I like the theory of the and wife discussing all nite then she suddenly "finds" the note.

why coincidental??

I think the guy is used to using the bus. I think that's why a bus ticket was bought in Maria's case. And I doubt it was Maria that bought it.

Yikes, stupid me! I should know by now about pinging after being involved in the DP case. Sticking antler in wall!

I guess you got a good point on wanting to look like a "regular Joe". According to his picture he really doesn't have any features that "stand" out if you know what I mean.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Guys I have to run for a few. BD dinner for nates sis at Benihanas(YUCK!) I hope when I get home this will be caught and you guys will have info for me...LOL

It isn't time for dinner! It isn't even time for lunch!! LOL

In one of the interviews with the sheriff....he said that has requested Friday off.

I am off now to find it.

My question is when did he ask for that day?For it being one day that he requested he not have had to put in a chit for it.So I am thinking he was planning on running maybe only by a couple of days but it was planned and I think the wife knew it also.

 

[BeavisMom62]

Are any pressers scheduled for today? Hubby hasn't left for work yet so I can't check the TV news.

 

[Littledeer]

I'm not sure that I can see how or where L is used to using a bus. He had his own vehicle. If he lived in Nevada, I am assuming he also had a vehicle there to drive. Where would he have been at that a bus would be needed so often to get somewhere?

Now ya thinking! How easy it would be for him to wear someone else's unform if they all have their names on the shirt. If he dyed his hair somewhat, who would know it is him from now on since the confirmed sighting? I'm sure he has a cell phone and is getting the news!

Considering that LE could trace him using cell phone pings, I doubt he has his cell phone with him - or at least, he had it turned on or been using it.

Now just on fox, said driving a black pickup...
And should be in custody soon..
I need more coffee......

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Hmmm...he could have gotten off a greyhound in Shreveport LA and caught Amtrack into Texas.

 

[Littledeer]

Beavis:

LOL. Boy do I understand about you not getting the TV until hubby leaves!

 

[BeavisMom62]

correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he "lived" in Nevada, he is from Nevada.

 

[Littledeer]

Bruja:

I have since noted that I was dumb on the phone cell.

 

[BeavisMom62]

Yep, he has to either be at work or asleep before I can watch the TV! LOL.

WELL SHOOT! That means the report in Shreveport was obviously not the confirmed sighting then! :bang: Why don't they just confuse us some more?!

 

[JinxieJada]

JJ IIRC the 3 lawyers were for the rape case, But as always I could be wrong. AND IIRC he was leaving the base at 4am not his home

awww IG...You've saved everyone from Mine and LD's wrath...You're awesome LOL..thanks for the clarification.

 

[Littledeer]

Pharlap:

They are saying he is driving his truck NOW??????

 

[BeavisMom62]

Like I said, what do you want to bet he ends up in Florida? Since he is hispanic or latino or whatever and we do have a large population here. He would blend in pretty well. And it is "several states away" from NC.

 

[Pharlap]

Maybe the LE are confusing the story on purpose. And/or the news stations are flat wrong.

 

[Littledeer]

Watch it Jinx, we don't want all to know what kind of vengenance we can put forth together! LOL
