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

[Seven]

1. Maria's car was keyed.
2. An unidentified male hit Maria in the face.


These two incidents were mentioned in the presser and said that they both occurred on base ........ and that Maria was unable to identify the man who hit her in the face, but was sure it was not Laurean.

Is that such a mundane occurrence? Do men go around hitting other marines in the face on base?

Since both of these happened after April 2007, what else do we know about the second one? Was it in day or night? Where on base did it happen? Were there any witnesses? Was an investigation ever done? Did she seek medical attention?

It seems like a pretty outrageous thing to just ignore.

another thing ..... Maria left a note on the 14th...Sgt Durham found it when he got home from work on the 14th....the bus ticket was purchased on Saturday, the 15th.....wonder where Maria stayed the night of the 14th...this is assuming it was Maria that purchased the ticket...(i tend to think it was)

According to the military presser, Sgt. Durham was looking for someone to take over his housing while he was gone (to sublet or rent it out). This is one reason he agreed to take in Maria and makes sense.

He does need to be questioned very thoroughly. He could have had some kind of relationship other than roommate, but it is purely speculation. He needs to answer questions about their relationship, any conversations between he and Maria pertaining to Laurean or his wife, and other things. I am curious about him, too. I think he would have information which directly relates to this case.

i would think so too.....

In order to purchase the ticket the way they say she did at the station, she would have to sign her name. They can verify if it was really her that purchased the ticket by handwriting analysis. This will clarify if she was still alive on the 15th when the ticket was purchased. Did anyone ever hear the exact time that she supposedly bought it?

Excellent points and questions. They did seem to skate over those in the press conference.

This is where we need a sticky of the facts - per the Sheriff and her Mom her due date was JAN 8th! Not February as was 1st reported. She got pregnant the very END of March or the 1st week or so of April -which is in line with what was reportedly the date she was raped/assaulted.

but she back tracked on her claim that the baby was a product of rape....

eta.....again, Maria was not pregnant on May 11th...

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Was she pressured into it? Even if she did back off...doesn't mean it wasn't true. Only a DNA test on the baby will clear up the issue if it is Laurean's child. They have the baby's hand (gosh, that is hard to type) which sounded like it was still intact...so they do have a source of viable DNA.

Yes and they said they have actual video of her withdrawing the $700 from the atm on 14 DEC. I feel like I am stuck back at square one here...How did she end up at Laureans house?!?!

no exact time, from what i've read...just that the bus was to depart that evening (Saturday)

well, i'd say they were, since she said they had sex March 26th & then again two weeks later while on the job....

there was a lapse in the PO betw Dec 24th & Jan 7....

On Tuesday, January 8, 2008, the company commander re-issues a written Military Protective Order effective through March 28th. There was a lapse in MPO coverage between December 24th and January 7th due to an administrative oversight during the holiday period.

Bless you for that link, close!
I've been tearing my hair out looking for a transcript.

I thought I heard from the press conf was that "Maria" withdrew $700, wrote a note about leaving, packed up her bags, got in her car and left.

The $400 withdrawal on the 24th was a separate withdrawal.

They have his DNA taken from his home, no doubt. How long will the testing take and will they report it to the media? I believe they should report it because it would salvage her reputation if it is his. (Sheriff Brown would WANT this to get out for that reason alone!)

you're right golfmom....the $400 withdrawal on the 24th was made by a man trying to cover up the camera apparently, at the ATM (Cesar)

That is correct. The withdrawal on the 24th was confirmed by Sheriff Brown to have been Laurean using her card.

If Christina is so innocent in all of this why isn't she on the news holding a press conference kinda like the one girl did who was having an affair with Scott Peterson? Can't think of her name... Anyway if was my husband I would be on the news begging him to do the right thing and turn himself in and blasting to the roof tops my innocence in all of this. I would be devestated that I was married to a murderer and had a child by him...

i don't consider her to have a bad reputation....stuff happens...she was young...no matter what happened, it didn't give the right to murder her & her baby....BUT, i try to put myself in the place of the victim with diff scenarios...see if things "fit" & what would lead up to this horrible crime, & others like it.....just my way of sleuthing
