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

[JDB]

A better question is if she was so close to deliver, the guy she was renting from was getting ready to deploy, why leave at all? Why not wait until she had the baby, collected a couple more paychecks. Because if she stayed here she could go the the hospital and have care on base. If she were somewhere else she would be putting herself in danger to be found and brought up on charges of being UA.

Another problem I find with their story is I thought the roomate heard or was there shortly after the conversation with her mother. He said that she told him she was upset right? Or am I remembering that incorrectly? But if he did say that, then throwing the phone out of the window while driving around talking to her mother......that theory just kind of goes......out the window.

Also, correct me if I am wrong, I thought that the roomate also said she was pretty much on bed rest because of the pregnancy, but she was at work the day before she disappeared?

I need some help here.

Durham was not deployed He was sent to Calif for training.And IIRC right she was staying with him off base more then likely renting a bedroom.

Her Mom said she was "exaggerating" had a tendency to lie and dramatize things. Her Mom also wanted her to give up Gabriel for adoption. Then her Mom shut up when they found Maria dead. Her Air Force Dad has said NOTHING, her siblings, NOTHING, her fellow Marines (aside from her roommate) NOTHING. The Colonel called her "steady" while calling "stellar".

The Marines at LeJeune showed more public admiration and "love" for than for Maria! In fact they spent most of the PC tearing Maria down, while making excuses for themselves and .

And NO, there doesn't seem to be anyone in the Marines (or MArias family) with a anything nice to say about Maria - THANK GOD for the good Sheriff, who genuinely seems to care about bringing to justice for the MURDERS of Maria and Gabriel. HE CARED and still CARES for Maria and Baby Gabriel! That little tiny hand in the dirt will keep him motivated to hunt down - for as long as it takes!

I, for one, am going to speak out FOR MARIA. I don't care what kind of Marine she was, she DID NOT DESERVE her fate and her son certainly did NOTHING to deserve HIS. She was a woman, single pregnant, young and doing the best she could in a MAN's WORLD. I don't care HOW she got pregnant or what she was like, or whether she was steady or flaky! She is now a VICTIM, a statistic proving that to be pregnant makes one a target for a violent death. Maria was not perfect - well neither AM I, so I am willing to be a voice FOR Maria - so that she and Gabriel did not die and lie in a cold lonely grave for NOTHING. Maria and Gabriel were ignored and disrespected in life, but NO MORE! CHANGE MUST HAPPEN! The Marines, the MILITARY as a whole, must celebrate the new millennium with some fresh thinking and some new policies and procedures. Maria was a MARINE in EVERY WAY and she deserves their respect, their grief and their promise that what happened to her, will NEVER happen to another woman.

I DEMAND change - for Maria and Gabriel.
I may be too late to help Maria and support her in life, but I AM supporting her in death - and I WILL support change for every woman who comes after!

I WILL STAND UP FOR MARIA!
Anyone else???
My Opinion

Bless you for your eloquence in expressing my own thoughts!

Right. I got that, but I was saying that to say that he was going to be out of town and so she would most likely have the house to herself. Besides if he was going to Calif most likely it was CAX and they are gone for like 3 months.

Another question. Who the heck is in EL Paso? I know if I were going to deliver a baby soon I would most likely want to be around someone I know. I still haven't heard that she had any connection to El Paso whatsoever. Besides what was she going to do for money when she got there? When they put her being UA that automatically stops her pay. Are we to believe she was just going to be pregnant living on the streets? She doesn't seem to have had that much money.

Boy we sure have some great, well thought out writers in the bunch..:clap:
English was my worst subject......
Great posts....

The marines turned there backs on one of the own.
Oh, I forgot she was a female...think it makes a difference....

Just for clarification, according to Meriam Webster:

"solid" of good substantial quality

"stellar" outstanding

So, what is being said by the military is that he was better than she was? Maybe the Marines should cover their tracks better.

Nancy Grace on Headline News is starting ! Heads up !

I want to hear her opinions on the Marine presser:waitasec:

I can just imagine what Nancy is going to say about this.

 

[JinxieJada]

Pretty pretty pretty please? With sugar and a cherry on top?

 

[Ticamom]

Nancy is expressing doubts about Christina's statements. You go, NG !!!!!

 

[Taximom]

Jinxie, her show transcripts are up pretty soon after her show airs. Just FYI!

He wasn't deployed ... yet

He was TDY (temporary deployment) for training *prior* to his deployment. The reason she was able to rent his place was due to his pending deployment. (this was covered in the presser... I caught all the alphabet meanings )

good grief!...trying to play catch-up here....so Maria claimed she was raped twice, but the rapes had nothing to do with her pregnancy

btw, my son's team won the bowling match today
we're still hanging in with the regionals!

Asking again...I'm dying to know.

Who named the baby Gabriel/Gabrielle? Was that what Maria wanted to name the baby? Is it Gabriel or Gabrielle (boy or girl)?

I read an article ( sorry cant remember where ) that stated that she had planned to call her baby boy Gabriel Joseph. Little angel never had a chance.

I think they were having an affair. And maybe the rape charges were done in vengance, like maybe she wanted him to leave his wife? Don't flame me, I'm just trying to think in all angles. Because someone dies a horrible death does not make them an angel when they were here on Earth. She was human...and there are alot of women and men out there that get involved with a married person, fall in love and do strange things....just saying. That would also explain the statement about that they continued to have a friendly relationship. Maybe that's why she changed her mind about the rape charges and changed them back again.

SO anyway, maybe she was going to leave. Hormones can do crazy things to a pregnant girl...epecially one (possibly) in love with a married man who won't leave his wife...he was a looker, sad to say. On her way out she decided to make wife aware of everthing. That's where wifey comes in....what do y'all think?
Also, I think he's gone on a flight. He didn't park that close to the airport for no reason. And who really knows how long he's been gone.

all of your post sounds very plausible to me....
