This is what henry and I have compiled from all the questions that have been sent to us. Please look them over and if anyone feels a question or questions are over the top, out of line, needs to be deleted or has already been answered, do tell us. As of this posting, there are 46 questions.

I'll post the first 23 here and the second 23 in the next posting.

This set of questions deal with Maria Lauterbach.

1. Has either of Maria's biological parents been in contact with the OCSD? If yes, have they been able to contribute anything helpful to the OCSD?

2. This is in reference to Maria’s Military Protective Order: A.) Would OCSD have enforced this if it was violated off base and, if not, what procedure(s) would have been followed; *.) on what date was OCSD aware of this and who communicated the information to OCSD; and C.) was the MPO recovered from her car the one that expired in September, 2007?

3. Does OCSD have any videotapes, surveillance pictures or documents from locations, other than the already released ATM withdrawal, confirming her whereabouts after 12 noon on 12/14?

4. Based on media reports and Mr. Laurean‘s notes, it has been suggested that Maria was at the Laureans house on two occasions on 12/14. Is this correct?

5. If OCSD knows, what was the exact date that Maria Lauterbach purchased her bus ticket to El Paso, was it 12/14 to be used on 12/15 or 12/15 to be used on 12/15?

6. When Mr. Hames (the bus station ticket agent) was interviewed by OCSD, was he shown a picture of Maria, did he confirm that she purchased the ticket, and did he confirm that she was alone?

This next set of questions is in reference to Christina Laurean.

7. What is OCSD's definition of "cooperating witness" in more detail, please, other than a witness who is cooperating; and does OCSD's definition of "cooperating witness" differ in any degree from the DA's definition of a cooperating witness? Can you please explain OCSD’s policy on not publishing pictures of a ‘cooperating witness’? Is OCSD aware of any threats or harassment being displayed towards Christina Laurean?

8. There are numerous conflicting reports of "facts" about this case in the media. Could you clarify the following: the reports of Christina finding a note after Cesar left versus waking up finding her husband writing notes (this was stated by her step-father when he was interviewed on The Early Show) versus a media statement that Cesar was gone when she woke up.

9. Has she conveyed to the OCSD that she did in fact confront Maria regarding Cesar?

10. Has she conveyed to OCSD that she is fearful of Cesar?

11. Is Christina still in possession of her cell phone or is it with law enforcement?

12. This question is in reference to the cell phone search warrant/affidavit requesting Laurean family phone records between Dec 14 and Jan 11. A.) Were their phone records checked prior to Dec 14; *) have their phones been checked since 1/12/08; and, C.) Christina's cell phone has a Las Vegas area code – is this correct or a typing error?

13. Is it a criminal offense for the wife to have waited to report what her husband told her regarding Maria committing suicide and his burying her in the woods?

14. Was Christina gainfully employed outside their home in the preceding days/month prior to returning to active duty aboard Camp Lejeune in January ‘08?

This next set of questions is in regards to Cesar A. Laurean

15. Is it true that Dog (Duane Chapman) The Bounty Hunter (or any of his associates) been in contact with the OCSD, and if so, is OCSD receptive to his offer; and have any other bounty hunters been in contact with the OCSD?

16. Letters purportedly written & sent by Cesar after he fled were intercepted. Were the envelopes the self-sealing type - or the old-fashioned kind that have to be licked to wet the adhesive? Were the stamps on the letters self-adhesive?

17. Have there been any more letters (allegedly) from Cesar mailed to Christina or any other family member since the last ones reportedly from Houston?

18. Have professional profilers come up with a profile for Cesar, and if so, when will this information be conveyed to the public?

19. Does OCSD know what Cesar wearing the morning he left (MC uniform or civilian clothing) and has an inventory been conducted of his military clothing and issued gear, as well as an inventory of what personal belongings/clothes are missing from his house?

20. Has the OCSD considered that Cesar may have had plastic surgery and/or tattoo removal/alteration and/or disguising himself as a woman in an effort to evade attention and capture?

21. Are there any recent credible leads on his possible whereabouts, and if so, how recent are the leads and where are they coming from?

22. Have any women come forward to OCSD and claimed to have had a romantic relationship with Cesar post marriage to Christina?

23. This is in regards to Laurean’s January 8th interview: Were there any concerns (red flags) during or after this interview that caused OCSD to elevate him to a potential POI or suspect in her disappearance and was he ever considered a flight risk?

24. After the January 8th interview where he declined to answer any questions about the disappearance of LCpl. Lauterbach, were efforts were made to place him under surveillance?

25. Was OCSD aware of his requesting to be off duty to meet with his attorneys on January 9, 10, and 11? Did any of the investigators at OCSD contact any of Cpl. Laurean’s attorneys (Raynor, Castle or Bailey) to confirm that Cpl. Laurean met with any of his attorneys on those dates?

26. Was the cousin in Mexico (the one interviewed by CNN and by the way CNN has said the cousin contacted them instead of law enforcement) a legitimate relative & witness?

27. Are his parents (Salvador and Elvira) and sister (Blanca) currently residing in Las Vegas, NV and are his aforementioned parent’s naturalized U.S. citizens? Have they been cooperating in the effort to locate Mr. Laurean?

28. Has OCSD and/or the FBI in possession of CL's Mexico passport and his US passport?

29. Can you tell us where the name “Gudino” came from? Is this another part of the Laurean/Ramirez family name(s)?

30. Has OCSD considered that Cesar could have, at some point, purchased a pre-paid cell phone?

31. Does OCSD have any other videos and/or surveillance footage that confirm Cesar's and Christina's whereabouts from 12/14 to 1/11 (other than the Lowe’s surveillance footage and his alleged attempt to withdraw money from the ATM using Maria’s ATM card)?

32. Does OCSD know if Mr. Laurean was ever married before he married Christina and if so, has he been in contact with that person since December?

33. Does OCSD think that this was a planned murder or a spur-of-the-moment rage killing?

This set of questions is in regards to the Laureans’ house.

34. Were the cinder blocks seen on video surrounding the gravesite blackened from smoke &/or fire?

35. Is there any indication and/or evidence that more than one person participated in the burial of Maria and Gabriel?

36. In the photo of the living room there's a vacuum against the wall. Is this vacuum the one that Christina Laurean had up for sale on Lejeune Yard Sales, if you know?

37. While I believe you stated on Greta's "On the Record" that the majority of the blood was found in the garage, was there blood found in any other rooms of the house? Seems like Sheriff Brown said "multiple rooms" at one time and I don't think we've ever seen that clarified.

38. Can you tell us what the substance was that made the garage floor appear wet when the SBI and OCSD were there---was this something the SBI did in order to conduct their investigation?

39. Can you tell us what flooring surface is in the living room? We have seen the photo of their living room and we would like to know if the floor covering is ceramic tile, linoleum, or wood plank.

This section of questions deal with other things in regards to this case.

40. Has OCSD solicited or been offered help from "mediums" or other types of psychics related to the tragic death of Maria and Gabriel? If yes, have any of them offered credible information that may help this investigation?

41. Was a tape turned over to the OCSD showing Maria and Cesar together (during December 2007) at a local motel? (This was posted over at Lejeune Underground that Maria and Cesar were together at the Sunset Lodge and the poster said that the tapes had been turned over to OCSD)

42. Is there any evidence of ongoing contact between Cesar and Maria from 5/12 to 12/14?

This set of questions deals with Jennifer Renna. We are aware of the newspaper article in the Jacksonville Daily News but we had a few questions anyway.

43. Has OCSD questioned Jennifer Renna regarding her relationship with Maria Lauterbach and what she knew about Maria and Cesar? Was Mrs. Renner advised whether she was allowed to speak freely about her involvement in this case or simply told what she could or could not speak about?

44. Did Maria stay with Jennifer Renna off base during the spring of 2007?

45. Was information provided to the OCSD by Jennifer Renna that Maria and Cesar dated during March 2007?

46. Did Mrs. Renna indicate to the OCSD that Maria was unaware that Cesar was married when they commenced to date in March and that she found out about his marital status prior to her rape accusation in May?

Captain Sutherland, Mrs. Renner came to the IS boards on February 14th and was asked numerous questions by the posters. The moderator of IS chose to delete Mrs. Renner’s answers but a couple of posters captured both the questions and answers. These questions and answers can be made available to you, if you would like, and if you look them over, could you possibly let us know if her answers were in-line, close to, or in opposition to any interview(s) OCSD conducted with Mrs. Renner? You would not be asked to tell us what Mrs. Renner said in her statement as we know this would not be proper protocol nor would we expect you to.

19. Does OCSD know what Cesar wearing the morning he left (MC uniform or civilian clothing) and has an inventory been conducted of his military clothing and issued gear, as well as an inventory of what personal belongings/clothes are missing from his house?

[/*]

Great questions. I would like to know in #6 if Mr. Hames was shown any pictures of any other females (as in Christina) or as in a line-up of pictures where he picks out who bought the ticket.

In #19, it shoud read "what Cesar WAS wearing".

Good job!

42. Is there any evidence of ongoing contact between Cesar and Maria from 5/12 to 12/14?
[/*]

For #28, Has should be replaced with Is (or Are).

For #34, there were pics on CNN at one time (not sure if they are still there) of blackened cinder blocks, so I think this question could be deleted.

For #42, could we re-word this to "Is there any evidence of ongoing contact between Cesar and Maria from 5/12 to 12/13, or does the only evidence of contact occur on 1214?"

Great job!

Great questions nuttintodo! I have questions about Maria's car and please feel free to re-format ~

How long was Maria's car parked at the bus station and who put the "For Sale" sign in the window? Was the "For Sale" sign handwritten and if so, has that been analyzed? What phone number was put on that sign? Have there been any luminol or fingerprint tests done on the interior of her car?

Those were asked in the first round and here's his answers:

8) The For Sale sign that was in the back window of Maria's car---was the handwriting consistent with any of Maria's other writings? Is Maria's family going to let the car go back to MFCU? Handwriting analysis is being conducted on a number of items. The status of the vehicle is a decision for the family to make.

And I can't find the answer to the question about how long her car was parked at the bus station but IIRC, RS said her car was not parked there from 12/14 to 1/7.

I asked about the phone number when I visited the OCSD a couple of weeks ago and I was told that the phone number was indeed Maria's number.

Thanks sunstar!! You were right there with us!

And how about Teeth winning Sunday! First win for Toyota.

Oops! I'm sorry for the repeat question but it still seems somewhat vague ~ maybe LE just doesn't want to release any more information on it.

I knew it would happen sooner than later! :)

nuttin, may I add this question, please? I was just reading the initial Probable Cause warrant and perhaps Capt. Sutherland could address this.

In the typewritten narrative of the Probable Cause Search Warrant, specifically the Incident Investigation Report, Mary S. Lauterbach is referred to as both the complainant reporting her DAUGHTER missing and reporting her STEPDAUGHTER missing. Subsequently, in early media reports when the warrants were released, Mary S. Lauterbach has been referred to as the STEPMOTHER of Maria. Was this just an error in the warrant which lead to the media reporting Mary as the STEPMOTHER or were there witnesses who referred to Mary as Maria’s STEPMOTHER and, if so, did they provide an explanation or source for referring to her as Maria’s STEPMOTHER?

Lynn, I will definitely add it! I am hoping RS can clear that one up.

No but I have tacked it on to another question (the one about what was he wearing the day he skipped town).

I'm now curious to see if Wanda told them about him leaving in his 'Marine outfit'.

(Ocean is crying) lol

I dont see where you asked him one of my questions Nuttin.

Let see if I can remember how I listed it.

Was there forensic evidence found on the man's shoe that was discovered while doing Greta's show?

I see you did do the one asking if there was contact between ML and CAl after the rape allegations in May and before Dec. 14th.

Thanks.

I didn't ask him that question because in the first round this is what he say about it: The shoe is a male's. We know who it belongs to. I can't really discuss anything else about the shoe.

Will you ever forgive me?
