good morning . . . again, nothing new to open with . . . except it's the 66th day that cesar is out there. (i was going to pm gentlebreeze cause her count is a day less than mine . . . glad i didn't - she's got way more important matters to handle & our prayers are with her & family) and i think the pneumonia count is now up to 4 as of last nite?
yes, i have read all of yesterday and was here, but couldn't post . . . that autopsy has thrown me off emotionally . . . so, not in the creative mood! hah! my family knows i pass out at the sight of blood (or hang my head down or out the window) and have a high squeemish level.
and, thank you for answering my question re: onslow county jury conviction & stiff sentencing . . . if it's tough for us to wait for answers, just imagine the family! that's what gives me patience and coming here everyday.
edit: AB has posted a new theory . . . pls. check it out

This is not a reference to the Maria investigation, but an explanation as to burden of proof in general. Our Office, and law enforcement nationwide, has a duty to proceed ethically and with integrity when we conduct criminal investigations.

Oftentimes, things may appear obvious to us, but we can not prove them.
IOW, they can't put Christina in or at the house when they believe the murder occurred. I hope they're not hanging their hats on the murder occurring between 5:30 and 7:00 p.m.

I have admitted I was wrong in my initial reaction to Mary with reference to what she actually spoke out about Maria Sami. She was trying to be honest about what SHE THOUGHT and she was castigated even by Nancy Grace IMO.
However, noteworthy is the idea that when Mary and Peter point to flaws and rewrite history, they are relying on 0-19 months of age and the influences of that time period. They had a lifetime with Maria compared to those 19 months and schluffing off any behavior disorder to that time frame gives the appearance of self-serving IMO.
THIS IS A VIDEO of Mary speaking it...
"We suspect that she probably is BIPOLAR and she's had a lot of struggles through the years. She's been a real loner, hasn't had a lot of friends, but one thing is she's very attached to home and would call several times a day." spoken word of Mary Lauterbach.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHrHZgjx4Aw
This is the truth I believe and this means that Mary and Peter suspected she was bipolar but yet encouraged her to go into the Marines. That will never make sense to me, no matter how many ways you try to fry it up and serve it.
It's beyond me that some here are looking for Maria to be a heroine. For those who are trying to prop that up, maybe it's time to go back to reading romance novels. I don't know. I have never followed and studied a case where we were looking for a heroine. It's no wonder victimology is becoming an important tool in our society. Someone needs to keep it real and let the public know these things happen to real people, good and bad, truth telling and occasional compulsive liars too.
Maria was a beautiful young woman who may or may not have been bipolar or had some other behavior disorder. That behavior disorder could contribute to the way she perceived things. IF that is the CASE, then who did who a favor sending Maria off to the Marines for structural learning? NOBODY IMHO.
She made mistakes and she MIGHT have PAID A HIGH PRICE for one if that is determined to be a motive. Do we hand out the death penalty to people who make mistakes that don't kill other human beings? NO, OF COURSE NOT. So no, she didn't deserve it period.
She deserves justice for the crime committed on her body and that of her unborn child period.
She doesn't need people rewriting her life and times to make themselves feel better.
ALL JMOOC.
She stated how much she loved her nephew, yet he didn't get a mention.
She deserved better all the way around IMHO. :(

Heres comes mary saying the opposite things about her daughter
yet peeps still call HER daughter names as well.
People are just mean. IMO [/*]
I disagree Annie, there is a need for being open, honest and real when you are dealing with a case like this. When you fall prey to evil, your life is ripped apart too.
This is just one more reason that education and victimology are just as important as profiling anymore. Looking at what makes a person vulnerable can't be underestimated IMO and surely if there is someone holding a weapon in their hand defending our country, a behavior disorder or mental illness undiagnosed could just contribute to a bad decision. You have shared the story of your daughter here, and I applaud you for doing so. Think about that. Would you want your daughter in the military stationed in Iraq?
Trying to FIX a STORY is not the answer if you ever expect to learn anything from a heinous crime like this IMHO.

Hi everyone. GentleBreeze's daughter is in my thoughts this morning, I could not get her off my mind last night when trying to sleep. What a terrible thing that was; I can't imagine how frightened she must have been not to mention the physical pain of those injuries. My prayers are with her and her family.
I also have thoughts about Mary L. It seems to me that if she has told the truth to LE, and continues to be forthright with LE and those investigating her daughter's death, that it should not much matter what she tells, or does not tell the rest of us.
It seems to me that perhaps she is trying to restore some semblance of dignity to her daughter who was murdered in such a heinous way. And I simply can't fault the lady for that.

At this point I really think the need to survive has superceded their own version of a truth Sami. I don't think they even know it anymore. It's like your desire for Maria to be a heroine as opposed to a victim of crime and acknowledging any mistakes she might have made in becoming one. It's like my feeling that if Maria waited a month to report the allegations and two went to one, and baby was result, and then baby was not; I find someone who waits a month to report and has found out the man they had sex with is married might have a hard time with perception/truth and is feeling fear of becoming pregnant. I think we all get welded into our positions after months of receiving new information, studying and reading history, but legal and undeniable documentation can and may change some of our thought process.
I don't think there is anything they can or should do to worry about what the public thinks of them Sami. What's done is done and you can't unring bells. JMOOC. :shrug:

I think Taylor Behl's mother was very open and honest from what I remember. She spoke out about telling Taylor to have the time of her life while away at school and to not miss an opportunity to enjoy life.
She stood up to the scrutiny and even came here and discussed the case. I would say she represents the half way point between the two extremes here. JMO tho. :(

I don't believe much Mary and Peter have to say because it's always self-serving in their passive-agressive way. Each time they speak, it has demeaned Maria and the circumstances of her early years and that burns right through me.

I agree with you, Mary did the best she could under horrendous circimstances. Her words were twisted and used against her. She and her family are not rewriting history, they attempted to set the record straight and I believe she has, with people who use their common sense and have no agenda. IMO.

Yes, we know your opinion. My opinion is that we shouldn't blame the victim for her own death based on no substantiated evidence. I also frown on calling Maria's family
liars or Maria a liar based on no proven facts. Neither the local LE or the marines have done this. IMO.
There is a way to have a decent discussion without doing the above, in my view.

I didn't diagnose Maria REGINA, I simply repeated what Mary Lauterbach said.
I am sorry it doesn't fit your victim dress, but life is what it is and there are awful things out there I wouldn't link here, but when MRS. LAUTERBACK looks into a camera and makes a statement, yes it is worthy of repeating here and it's certainly suspect coupled with her other interviews.
I continue to feel IF MARY AND PETER thought or suspected bipolar was the problem with Maria, then how sad if they thought the structure of the USMC would fix her as opposed to getting her treatment.
JMO THO and nothing more. :shrug:
And in the interest of that principle KISS, this is the simplest answer IMO. People are most honest in the beginning unless they are hiding info on a crime from what I have seen in these cases.
So do you think anyone who doesn't go along with your thought process should be silenced?

I'm just pointing out that the same criteria of picking on this vicitm has not been applied by some to the murdering slime who is actually charged with her murder.
I don't think we have to go back in time to find actions to dissect with cesar. An accusation of rape and a charge of bludgeoning, tossing in a pit and cooking this very pregnant young Marine should be quite enough to lodge the same criticisms of mental problems that have been unfairly thrown at the victim.

I know that hinman, and I respect you and your opinions too. I don't feel the need to belittle you or your thought process and try to sway your thinking process.
I learn things from posters on this board every day and take it with me. Sometimes it results in changing a theory, and sometimes, it throws one of my theories all the way out. I'm open to considering many things about this case.
I don't really know of anyone who believes Cesar, but I do know I find myself wondering about how crazy it could make you to be falsely accused if that was the case and how stressful it could make life for at least three people we know in this case. Especially if the complaining witness was trying to rectify it and couldn't. JMO and I am not saying I know that to be the case, but I do wonder about many aspects of this case.
I understand when posters feel they can't say what they feel, as it takes thick skin to answer back to sometimes rude and offensive posts directly aimed at you. But after time your skin starts to thicken and if you believe what you are saying, you spit it out, providing you aren't breaking the TOS here.

Good morning, Annie.
Hope you are well this morning.
Excellent points, you bring up, the fact that BHT and ML's mother have actually said THE OPPOSITE about their daughters.
BHT said her daughter was perfect, and had a perfect reputation and was a straight-A student and was a virgin.
ML's mother said her daughter had a history of lying and might be bi-polar. Also said her daughter had always been troubled, and was a loner. Other members of ML's family have echoed those sentiments.
So there is no comparison between the two mothers, except that both their daughters were murdered (and, even there, NH has never been found though she is presumed dead).
However, I have never, ever, nerver, seen ML being called "a name." Have you?
Because certainly, "s+++t" is a name I have read NH called (and many more). But what name(s) has ML been called? :confused:
This whole notion of "preserving the dignity" and all of those holier than thou terms I have seen posted in the last couple of days (not by you, AB) amount to nothing more, imo, than folks wanting to dictate what is said on a board.
We all know that if CW thought we were in any sense "victim-bashing," or "family-bashing," anyone doing so would be banned. Thankfully, that is how this mssg board is run.
This is not the Victorian era nor is it a paperback romance. We are all adults.
Why is it "undignified" or "calling someone a name" to say that she wanted to have sex with someone?
ALL healthy women want to have sex, and do so. I dare say that all of us on this board have done so.
So, really, I think this argument that keeps cropping up about anything but rape(s), sexual assault(s) and even sexual assaults after death--as has been bandied about on this board since Friday--being somehow, bashing the victim, well, they are just patently false.

I don't really know of anyone who believes Cesar, but I do know I find myself wondering about how crazy it could make you to be falsely accused if that was the case and how stressful it could make life for at least three people we know in this case. Especially if the complaining witness was trying to rectify it and couldn't. JMO and I am not saying I know that to be the case, but I do wonder about many aspects of this case.
I understand when posters feel they can't say what they feel, as it takes thick skin to answer back to sometimes rude and offensive posts directly aimed at you. But after time your skin starts to thicken and if you believe what you are saying, you spit it out, providing you aren't breaking the TOS here.
JMOOC.

If we all thought alike, it would be a boring place to post IMO. [/*]ah Candy I think you hit on the head. Swaying opinions. It seems it is more about that then anything.
Just wanted to let you know it is great psoting with you. We do not agree on much but it is fun and really intriguing to see your view on this subject.
and if you ever feel like I am belittling you please let me know I have been working on that.:D

Doesn't mean I have to agree or that I am blind to the fact. I just don't see truth in this case yet and very few facts to say for sure either way. Until I know further I rather lean on the side of Maria's.
I hope everyone feels they can express their opinions because it goes both ways on here I see posters getting backlash for supporting Maria and I see posters getting backlash for believing Cesear. [/*][/QUOTE
Good post hinman... I do not see truth or many facts in this case yet either..
All we know about Cesar is from his notes he wrote and that he told someone if he was charged with rape he would flee to Mexico..
We have not heard a peep out of Christina.. and Maria cannot talk to us.. Mary was under much duress when she gave out info about Maria and this has been used against her often I feel.. although I still do not know what happened.. I just don't like to see posters snapping at other posters just because they do not agree with them and say they are seeing Maria as a heroine.. I don`t believe anyone sees her as that at all.. from the posts I have read.. I also feel the ones who feel strongly against Maria and her mother tend to be more adamant and sarcastic towards this tragedy of two people being murdered in such a horrific way..
I will also go out on a limb here and say the first time I heard Mary speak to Maria on TV telling her come come home In any condition (not sure of wording) and to tell the truth it did not sit well with me..but after hearing more and more and hearing Mary speak on the Today show I think it was i understood the reason why she said what she said and I do believe her.. I think she has been through her share of life`s troubles too an may not be the most well spoken person in the world but then neither am I..
So much here is unknown and those who are passionate about Maria and the horrible death she endured being burned etc... is totally gruesome. Does it really matter if she at some time had consensual sex with him
I for the life of me cannot see why this "stellar"marine did what he did to these two people and how anyone can justify it..and make light of it..There is no jsutification for this
jmo and sorry for the rant

I could understand this point if CL had admitted to the MC/NCIS or whoever questioned him that he and ML had had sex, but that it was consensual.
If your theory is correct, i.e., that the rape allegation was false, but CL and ML did have consensual sex, well IMO CL has no one but himself to blame.
If there was zero sex between ML and CL, then yes, I think it would make CL pretty upset.

Maria and Gabriel’s death were so horrid and I feel so badly for the family. They have endured so much and to add insult to injury, the murderer is still missing.

Hi, henry. The MPO would have been signed and dated by Cesar and the commanding officer issuing it. Cesar would have a copy, Maria would have a copy, and the original would go into his personnel file. The MPO is completed by a commanding officer-could be company or regimental. As in Maria's case, it was done by company except for the one time the company commander was on leave and the regimental commander issued it. There is a space provided for the commanding officer to list any information that supports the issuing of an MPO. Hope this helps.

I am open to finding out more. After all, Maria thought he was popular and Lisa thought he was a nice guy, but we all know some of the most notorious murderers have had the same said one time or another in life.

Hi again hinman, and I'm always appreciative of a respectful exchange with you even tho we don't see eye to eye.
I want to answer Jas's question too.
For me innocence in the purest form is reserved for the children and I base that on them not having a choice or a role in the happenings that surround this case that THEY could control.
While it doesn't meet the textbook version of innocence, it's the way I feel about it in this case.

According to the actual MPO, there is a place at the bottom that says "Distribution". And then it lists, servicemember, servicemember's local personnel file, and protected person. Maria would be the protected person. So I don't think anything would be in Maria's personnel file. The written documentation for Maria's rape allegations would be the Marine Corps Order...where it states that an MPO is to be issued if the two work in the same unit. Let me just say this is what I believe as I have not had any personal experience with MPO's and I am going based on what I have read.

My point was that if he never had sex with ML at all, then yes, I could see a false allegation of rape would make him very upset.
But, if he did have consensual sex with ML, and thus lied to the MC/NCIS by saying he never had sex with ML, then I don't think it makes as much sense for the rape allegation to upset him as much.

Caejde, thanks for the info.
This reminded me that I heard an expert TH on NG Show stating that there was a place to check, to have the MPO sent to local LE. JMO though
Do you know if that is true? Or would that be part of the Distribution and not part of the actual MPO itself? TIA [/*]
There is a place for allotted where it designates "The protected person has also been issued the following court orders" And it lists "a" and "bee". "A" is for a civil protection order and they would have to list date issued, what court, what county, and the state. "Bee" is for any other type of order issued with the same information as "A". And there are 2 boxes to be checked that applies-custody/visitation and property settlement. So, in my opinion, Maria would have to have gotten a civilian protection order on her own and then had it to show the commanding officer. But again, as I said I have never had to deal with these so it's all my opinion.

Very well could have been the same color when they bought the house and chose to stay with it.

Now, the "loner" could be when she was at Lejeune. But I finally watched a video of her friend that was interviewed-Melinda. And Melinda said that Maria was coming to see her about everyday and they would go to the beach and stuff on weekends. I just don't know how much of a "loner" she could have been. To me, a "loner" is someone who doesn't want to be involved in sports, doesn't want to go out and do things. I don't know though.

Hey caejde! What form are you looking at? Just askin' as the DD Form 2873 list the distribution as service members immediate command, service memeber, protected person, PMO or the Security officer Criminal Investigation. I would certainly hope that even though the distribution doesn't list the SRB's they could be placed in them. Maybe there's another form that supercedes the 2873? Not that it really matters but I'm just curious if I've been looking at an aged form.

I agree with you, Caejde. Melinda and Renna/Renner (I have seen it both ways) both suggested she was a lot of fun to be with and I didn't get the impression from either of them that she was a loner.
Maybe she didn't have a large circle of friends and that was what her mother meant.
Or maybe ML didn't feel comfortable growing up in a small, midwestern hometown. Who knows.. lol

This is not a reference to the Maria investigation, but an explanation as to burden of proof in general. Our Office, and law enforcement nationwide, has a duty to proceed ethically and with integrity when we conduct criminal investigations.
http://www.jdnews.com/news/baby_55479___article.html/autopsy_clothing.html [/*]
Whoa hoss! Some kind of timing that he made that long post a couple hours after a multitude of criticism was written re: Christina & her NOT being arrested.
Look at the reference he made here...
This week, another supervisor and I had to tell a unit of investigators that they could not write a search warrant to search a drug dealers house. We knew that he was a dealer, and we knew that he was involved with some drugs that we had seized. But we could not prove it.
We could not ethically obtain a warrant and search someones house because we had not met a standard of proof. Some of the investigators did not agree with our decision, but we felt that it was the best decision based on the integrity expected of our office. This is the standard of conduct that citizens need to appreciate from their law enforcement officers. Even if a particular case is emotionally charged, and everyone feels that someone is guilty of a crime, police officers have a duty to make sure that people are allowed to enjoy their guaranteed rights unless law enforcement has evidence to the contrary.
I'm not deliberately trying to read between the lines, but that was a mighty pointed comparison he made about the drug dealers & how LE KNEW (but couldn't prove).

Yes, and as parents we try to expose our children to group activities as we help them build their social skills. However, some children will still have behavior disorders IMO.
I don't use group pictures to discredit a mother saying her child is a loner. JMO tho.

I don't think Mary needs any of us to tell her that her attempt to be totally honest and forthcoming with LE, might have hampered the search for Maria and her killer. I'm sure she eats, sleeps, and breathes that every day.
I just hate a post that says, 'There isn't much I would put past Mary in the interest of making things look right to the outside world.' (http://boards.insessiontrials.com/showthread.php?postid=11385874#post11385874)
I hope, if it's okay to make a statement as strong and harsh as I feel that one is, that is also okay for ME to post how much I dislike the wording and that I wish it could be phrased in a kinder, gentler fashion.
That's my opinion. [/*]

My personal opinion is the sheet the ME is referring to is the sheet Maria was taken from the grave in. Otherwise why wouldn't the ME state the sheet was charred. The comforter was charred so how could the sheet have made it unscathed if it was over the comforter? They wouldn't need the body bag for evidence just for the fact that Maria was wrapped in a sheet. And they are testing this sheet to see if anything fell off the body, the comforter that could be used as evidence. All my opinion of course.

I'm very confused about the sheet myself. Reading all of last night's posts about it had my head spinning.
I'm wondering what the huge significance is?
I see where some on here think a comforter from the Laurean's house is inculpatory of Christina's knowledge (and there is no question about the comforter.......although I disagree as to it's significance), but if we already know the comforter is from the house, why worry about the sheet?
Maybe I'm just missing something.

I think it was a color/shade Christina has choosen and he bought it. I find it NOT an unusual color, many today are using those shades.
I was viewing a video in another case (SP) and one wall was several shades darker than what the Laureans had in their home.
Also, reading the description of the Laurean house from the Property records it describes the flooring as Vinyl & Carpet. So unless they paid a good sum to install Ceramic tile I think what we see in the photos are Vinyl covering with a tile effect.

Look at the reference he made here...
This week, another supervisor and I had to tell a unit of investigators that they could not write a search warrant to search a drug dealers house. We knew that he was a dealer, and we knew that he was involved with some drugs that we had seized. But we could not prove it.
We could not ethically obtain a warrant and search someones house because we had not met a standard of proof. Some of the investigators did not agree with our decision, but we felt that it was the best decision based on the integrity expected of our office. This is the standard of conduct that citizens need to appreciate from their law enforcement officers. Even if a particular case is emotionally charged, and everyone feels that someone is guilty of a crime, police officers have a duty to make sure that people are allowed to enjoy their guaranteed rights unless law enforcement has evidence to the contrary.
I'm not deliberately trying to read between the lines, but that was a mighty pointed comparison he made about the drug dealers & how LE KNEW (but couldn't prove).

Maria and her unborn child were victims of a heinous crime and what was done afterward was unthinkable. But to try and paint this in some extraordinary light to fit a cause such as women suffering sexual assault in the military isn't a fit at this point IMHO.
Her own mother expressed concerns about the story she was hearing that day one month later IIRC. She was worried about him and his career in that phone call outside Walmart that she debated answering because Maria called all too frequently. But now, that's all different for some of us because someone might read about things they have said and done. I don't understand that mentality, but if it works for some, then so be it. But nobody has the right to demand you post a certain way other than IS ADMIN and I can't see where I have broken any TOS here.
From what we know Maria had a relationship with this married man and upon finding out he was married things went bad quickly not to mention the addition of finding out she was pregnant.
I don't automatically dismiss her claim, but nor do I automatically give it credence given her history and the situation coupled with the fact she has allegedly given inconsistent statements to the USMC.
I won't even go into the idea that quite possibly she showed up at his home after all this of her own accord after contact with him.
I have never felt guilty about speaking the truth, and I'm not about to start to do so at this point in my life.
I've noticed Nancy Grace is speaking about this case in a very clear and concise manner as well and feels no need to polish it up.
From her March 5th show.
GRACE: Out to Colonel Robin Johnson, retired Marine Corps colonel.
Colonel, I`m stunned. I mean the Marines have taken several black eyes just recently. Number one, you`ve got Cesar Lauren on the run in Mexico after allegedly killing his pregnant lover and her unborn child. Now this.

This is not a reference to the Maria investigation, but an explanation as to burden of proof in general.

And, Jas.S (and all the rest of us) might not be obsessing over the sheet, or the autopsy report, because if the bodies had been found faster, before the burning and decomposition that the burning enhanced, the autopsy would probably read a lot plainer than it does today.
So, to answer your question -- not sharing information did NOT help this case or this victim -- it helped the suspect only! IMO

He wouldn't have been considered a flight risk if he were in a civilian courtroom. Why should he have been considered one in the MC?
But hey, if you want to talk about the lack of sharing information, how 'bout that lack of information from Mary Lauterbach about the MPO and the alleged rapist's name? The one that local LE only found out about on 1/7 when they found her car?

So just because she's the mother, she's to be excused for not providing the very piece of information that would have led OCSD right to Cesar's front door? On the 19th of December, rather than on the 7th of January?

And Sami forgets how upset I was about the carseat cover. I wanted the deputies to confiscate it and prosecute both of them if they were putting their child into that seat.

Maria and her unborn child were victims of a heinous crime and what was done afterward was unthinkable. But to try and paint this in some extraordinary light to fit a cause such as women suffering sexual assault in the military isn't a fit at this point IMHO.
Her own mother expressed concerns about the story she was hearing that day one month later IIRC. She was worried about him and his career in that phone call outside Walmart that she debated answering because Maria called all too frequently. But now, that's all different for some of us because someone might read about things they have said and done. I don't understand that mentality, but if it works for some, then so be it. But nobody has the right to demand you post a certain way other than IS ADMIN and I can't see where I have broken any TOS here.
From what we know Maria had a relationship with this married man and upon finding out he was married things went bad quickly not to mention the addition of finding out she was pregnant.
I don't automatically dismiss her claim, but nor do I automatically give it credence given her history and the situation coupled with the fact she has allegedly given inconsistent statements to the USMC.
I won't even go into the idea that quite possibly she showed up at his home after all this of her own accord after contact with him.
I have never felt guilty about speaking the truth, and I'm not about to start to do so at this point in my life.
I've noticed Nancy Grace is speaking about this case in a very clear and concise manner as well and feels no need to polish it up.
From her March 5th show.
GRACE: Out to Colonel Robin Johnson, retired Marine Corps colonel.
Colonel, I`m stunned. I mean the Marines have taken several black eyes just recently. Number one, you`ve got Cesar Lauren on the run in Mexico after allegedly killing his pregnant lover and her unborn child. Now this.

And instead, the MC and the Sheriff's Department is to be castigated daily for not having the ability to read minds or determine that if Maria says she's not afraid, that she really is afraid.

Mary Lauerbach should be excused for everything, because she is the Mother of a murdered Marine and no one should be second guessing what she did at what probably was the worst period in her life. IMO.

I actually got the impression that Mary was not allowed legally to speak of the "incident", which is what she referred to (IMO) as the rape allegation. I believe Uncle Peter called it the same thing.
I noticed their reference to the "incident" in several early interviews that have been posted lately. It is almost as if somebody (NCIS?) advised them that they could not speak of the "incident" to the media or something. I found it odd at the time when I heard it. Now, whether the same applied to sharing with LE, I have no idea (although my opinion would be that they could tell LE, but who knows)

Civilian LE, the USMC & NCIS have far more options at their disposal to find out information than any regular citizen will EVER have - yet you claim this woman who had to have been under the most extreme duress any parent can imagine was supposed to bear more of a burden for obtaining information about her daughter than either OCSD or the USMC.

Sam, you didn't have to go back and correct your statement to read "allegedly rape"....if it's your opinion, as you stated in this post, that laurean is a rapist that is perfectly okay. I agree with you. In my opinion cesar laurean raped Maria, just like she said he did.

In box 4, you will see where it says "The protected person has also been issued the following court orders:" Then it goes on to list a civilian protective order and just a general order issued. So, in my opinion, Maria would have to have already had a civilian protective order against Cesar. Because this box is for them to put the type of order, the date it was issued, the court it was issued, the county and the state.

But when you come out AFTER THE FACT, trying to rewrite history, and talk about "you voiced your fears from day 1", retelling phone conversations where you claim that you told your daughter "you shouldn't have to do that, you've got a restraining order", and yet LE has to find out this information a month later (by accident), then I think you've got a problem with credibility.

When I looked at the forms that both Lynn and strick provided links to, the only thing civilian that I saw was about whether the protected person had filed a civilian protection order, if so from when to when and which court and county/state where the CPO had been filed.
But I have seen no such box that indicates whether the protected person requests the MPO to be sent to civilian LLE that is unless it can be put in #5 (i)'s box: Other specific provisions of this order.

Here's something regarding MOUs and notifiying civilian LE is required for domestic violence at the bottom of page 8
Then you have to read their definition of domestic abuse and domestic violence at page 2 and I don't think Maria and CL fit in that category...not even under (the letter after a) since Gabriel was not born yet. moo

If Christina is is Innocent- then i wouldnt expect her fingerprints to be in any of the items in there IMO.
I would be interested to know - why this melted plastic bag w/ baby clothes in there needs to be buried with the body ...I dont think that if someone will be forcing Maria inside the house needs to carry that bag with baby clothes inside. IMO it should have been left inside Maria's car if she was taken by force . But then again where did these baby clothes came from?

Okay Sami, since you've posted what the retired JAG said, let's suppose the MC did forward Maria's MPO, and if they did, wonder if the MPO went to JPD instead of OCSD? Would the responsibility then be shifted to JPD to shuttle it over to OCSD? (just speculating, not saying this happened in any way, shape or form)
Either way, whether the MC did or did not send the MPO to the civilian LE doesn't change the fact that Maria was murdered, buried and burned in CAL's backyard. There is clearly a NOTE (in bold lettering under where the names are listed) on the MPO where the Protected Person's name could be omitted if the Service Member named in #1 would endanger the Protected Person.
That's plain as day in the MPO links that Lynn, strick and caejde posted.

Hi, cryme!
I am hesitant to jump in here because of the tone of the board today, but I have to get this out of my system.
Yes, Mary knew there was an MPO naming Cesar. Was the MPO information not included in Mary's original email to LE? Did Mary mention to LE that CAL was accused in raping her daughter? I would have immediately brought CAL's name into it if I thought my daughter was missing and had not left of her own accord!
I have also seen two different versions of Mary's last conversations with Maria. One was 'normal', and one has Maria getting upset. The first version was with 'stern' language from Mary. Too many conflicting statements from Mary, IMO.
Mary did include the 'compulsive lying' and 'bipolar' statement in the email to LE. I believe that is why Sheriff Brown made the remark in a PC for Maria to come back. I do not blame SB for that because of the things Mary said in the email.
I have lost a child myself. I have very deep sympathy for anyone who has. However, having said that, I do have to also say that I do not understand Mary at all. As has been stated - you cannot unring a bell.
I feel that Maria was being pressured too much by Mary and her uncle. Period. They wanted Maria to give her baby up and were doing everything within their power to make sure she did. If Maria wanted to keep her baby, she had to have been extremely stressed by her mother and uncle wanting her to give Gabriel up.
Now. This is my opinion. This is what I get from all I have seen in Mary's statements in videos and interviews. I feel Mary is tormented and will forever be tormented by her words. She has my sympathy for having lost a child that she will forever grieve for.
I agree with you, cryme. And I have a healthy respect for all posters and their opinions and a genuine fondness for some I know do not agree with me.
Sorry, but I finally had to get this out of my system. And it is all 'My Opinion Only'.

I understand about the fetus and the law but the clothing is an item and any item found by the body should be investigated for any prints and sources as it could lead to "people" - not just one person - who throw that bag in the pit.

I feel that Maria was being pressured too much by Mary and her uncle. Period. They wanted Maria to give her baby up and were doing everything within their power to make sure she did. If Maria wanted to keep her baby, she had to have been extremely stressed by her mother and uncle wanting her to give Gabriel up.
Now. This is my opinion. This is what I get from all I have seen in Mary's statements in videos and interviews. I feel Mary is tormented and will forever be tormented by her words. She has my sympathy for having lost a child that she will forever grieve for.
I agree with you, cryme. And I have a healthy respect for all posters and their opinions and a genuine fondness for some I know do not agree with me.
Sorry, but I finally had to get this out of my system. And it is all 'My Opinion Only'. [/*]
Very well stated and I just want to say I admire your ability to hang in here and be objective having lost a child. My thoughts are with you Donna. :rose:
Do you by any chance remember the publication that addressed the person seeking protection taking it to LLE? We all pretty much agreed that this shouldn't fall on the shoulders of a person who may have just suffered a rape, but there was a link here IIRC.

They could see the tag as 0-3 so i am assuming that bag/clothing is not completely burned so fingerprints or any forensic test should be done on those items.

Okay Sami, since you've posted what the retired JAG said, let's suppose the MC did forward Maria's MPO, and if they did, wonder if the MPO went to JPD instead of OCSD? Would the responsibility then be shifted to JPD to shuttle it over to OCSD? (just speculating, not saying this happened in any way, shape or form)
Either way, whether the MC did or did not send the MPO to the civilian LE doesn't change the fact that Maria was murdered, buried and burned in CAL's backyard. There is clearly a NOTE (in bold lettering under where the names are listed) on the MPO where the Protected Person's name could be omitted if the Service Member named in #1 would endanger the Protected Person.
That's plain as day in the MPO links that Lynn, strick and caejde posted.
JMO [/*]
I agree that information about the MPO would have had no effect on Maria's eventual murder; however, knowing there was an MPO in place and that the person named was Cesar Laurean could possibly have been a factor in whether he would be in Mexico right now. That's why what D.A. Dewey Hudson said in an interview on FOX that "if we maybe had done some things different, we would, he wouldn’t be maybe in Mexico that he’d be behind me in Onslow County jail" is why I hold that opinion about knowing about the MPO, even post murder. JMO
http://tinyurl.com/2klk8w
Just looking at the timeline of events, is it clear WHEN the OCSD investigators had Laurean's name? We've heard both sides give different dates, December 19th (Cicarrelli), January 7th (Sheriff Brown).
To their credit, OCSD, once they found Maria's car and the MPO in it, they went into high gear and DID focus on Laurean, wanting to speak with him on the 8th of January. They met with him at the base with NCIS and he declined to answer any questions.
In reading many of the posts here, what seems to be the theme is .... why were there no red flags being observed by anyone when Laurean, after meeting with OCSD on the 8th of January, was now taking off on the 9th and 10th, which from all accounts was different from his usual reporting for duty which led to him not being considered a 'flight risk'. Did no one have a thought that hmmmm, we've got this MPO now, (plus whatever else they had ?possible ATM photos being scrutinized), and the question being asked is .... what was being done to monitor Laurean's comings and goings, talking with neighbors for anything that seemed unusual, or even looking into probable cause for a SW of the house, etc.

I noticed their reference to the "incident" in several early interviews that have been posted lately. It is almost as if somebody (NCIS?) advised them that they could not speak of the "incident" to the media or something. I found it odd at the time when I heard it. Now, whether the same applied to sharing with LE, I have no idea (although my opinion would be that they could tell LE, but who knows)

Speaking of UVA's...found out that they usually pick 2...have to be of a certain rank. They go through sexual assault training and they have to meet other qualifications. Same as with what they term a SARC-Sexual Assault Response Coordinator. They are also appointed and have to have a rank of LtCol or higher and there are certain conditions they have to meet as well-they are not the XO, CO...but someone out of the chain of command. They assist the commanders.

I am hesitant to jump in here because of the tone of the board today, but I have to get this out of my system.
Yes, Mary knew there was an MPO naming Cesar. Was the MPO information not included in Mary's original email to LE? Did Mary mention to LE that CAL was accused in raping her daughter? I would have immediately brought CAL's name into it if I thought my daughter was missing and had not left of her own accord!
I have also seen two different versions of Mary's last conversations with Maria. One was 'normal', and one has Maria getting upset. The first version was with 'stern' language from Mary. Too many conflicting statements from Mary, IMO.
Mary did include the 'compulsive lying' and 'bipolar' statement in the email to LE. I believe that is why Sheriff Brown made the remark in a PC for Maria to come back. I do not blame SB for that because of the things Mary said in the email.
I have lost a child myself. I have very deep sympathy for anyone who has. However, having said that, I do have to also say that I do not understand Mary at all. As has been stated - you cannot unring a bell.

Well, where the MC would have sent the MPO would probably have been determined by her address off base.
When she took out her FIRST MPO, she was living on base. When she moved off base, she had an address under County jurisdiction, IIRC.
If the Corps had sent the MPO to J'ville city police, I'm assuming they would have done with it exactly what Ohio did with the Missing Persons Report that was filed, by Mary, with the Ohio LE.
Once jurisdiction is figured out, sometimes LE still doesn't want to share info. That puts all of us at risk, imo.
Here is some more of the AC360 show, where he asks CNN's Senior Legal Analyst about the lack of cooperation:
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0801/14/acd.02.html [/*]
I know what you're saying Sami, but I was trying to point out that there could have been a mistake, if, the MC sent the MPO to JPD (and that's an easy mistake to do since county/city jurisdiction gets confusing). And I can't see where the MC has the option to send the MPO to the civilians per their form.
But I think we all agree no MPO was shared with any civilian LE. I do however think the MC perceived Maria's missing as merely her being UA and never thought to look at Laurean, which could have been a mistake (as this case shows).
In my mind, if a MPO or a TRO is issued they aren't worth the paper they are written on if no one is going to enforce them. And if a person wants to get to the person protected they can and will.

I do understand what you are saying, tho, Jas.. Had Maria been found out in the open and not in a grave, the evidence such as the baby clothing and bagged would have just been bagged by forensics people at the scene.

I think that's the right track...because there could also be particles of bone and whatever else in the folds of the bag and inside it for the ME to separate and identify.

Hi Jas, I am trying to remember the wording of that statement about lying but I thought the conflict/confusion resulting from it was that Mary said something like "occasional history of compulsive lying." Another one of these situations where the interpretation of the words can be so difficult.
And again, another "Mary said" this, so it would go to Mary's credibility as to whether or not we accept it as truth.
I become confused because some posters talk about Mary rewriting history. Yet it seems they may pick and choose which things Mary said that are decided to become "truth and fact."

Hi strick5 - i could create a name here and says i saw her picture and she look exactly like Maria - would you also believe that?
Sorry MW5 - nothing negative on you or not i dont believe you but without a "link" or proof" then that is still just a hearsay :)

I sent her DIL a note asking her to do a boot disk, but if you know GB, you know this is driving her nutso. She does everything online. :cool:

Seeing her would help with the theory several posters have had about Cesar possibly having fallen in love with Maria. Maria was younger. Was she prettier? Smarter? More fun?
I always think it makes everything more interesting to see the people who are involved and I don't think that has to be classified as "prurient." She is very much a part of this case.
("Noseyness"? Well, yes, I suppose so!)

You're kidding, right? (your first paragraph).
Noseyness......that's about it, IMO. It's definitely a prurient interest, nothing more, nothing less. As Jas. said, "gawking"...

It may be hearsay but then there's credibility as well. I could see that posters might seriously question if I, for example, being a new poster came here and said I know what Christina looks like.
But even though new, I have read the forum since the beginning and MW5 is a very credible poster imo and has contributed a lot of facts relating to the MC, so yes I would believe what she says.

I spend a lot of time reading here, and stll haven't figured out what Mary Lauterbach's "credibility" has to do with the fact that her daughter was murdered. :confused:

No, I'm not kidding. There was some discussion on yesterday's thread about this and I think it could make as much sense as many other theories put out there.
And I am offended by the description of this curiousity as being "prurient." Many people here have expressed the wish to see Christina's picture. Would you describe their interest as:
Prurient: Definition
Inordinately interested in matters of sex; lascivious.
Characterized by an inordinate interest in sex: prurient thoughts.
Arousing or appealing to an inordinate interest in sex: prurient literature.

Of course that is your opinion and no one is questioning her credibility but there will be posters like me who will ask for a Link or proof and would like to see in our own eyes to fully agree :)

I won't speak for anyone else, but I go with her initial statements when she wanted to find her daughter as her best shot at putting it all out there.
Unfortunately, many of us JUST CAME UNGLUED at the thought, especially when she was called her step-mother.
Once the dust settled, I felt bad for all the abuse she took. However, then there came a time when she wanted to rewrite history and I find it disingenuous to Maria and her family.
Not to mention my feelings about the things important to Maria being schluffed off like her nephew.
JMO tho.:o

I bet I have never spelled that correctly.
As per looking at CSL's picture to see whether or not CL would have fallen in love with ML? Huh? :confused: How does that work? [/*]
Do you know the definition of the word "prurient"? I just posted it upthread. That is partly why I took offense to the wording in your post.
And, I said nothing about "looking at CSL's picture to see whether or not CL would have fallen in love with ML." I wish you would not change meaning of what people post when you respond; since others have been called out here for not quoting exactly I think it should apply to all.

Fifty-three stitches in the leg. :( She said there is throbbing and swelling. They gave her morphine last night, but not sure about now what she is taking other than antibiotics. I would imagine something to take care of that kind of pain tho.

Babes and I mean this as no disrespect---MW5's husband is very good friends with CSL's recruiter. IIRC that's how MW5 saw the picture of CSL. MW5 also said the recruiter wouldn't let her take the picture and scan it for us to see.
I also know who MW5 is in RL, not that makes any difference here and now but if she said she saw a picture, I tend to believe her.

Do I have to go find those posts? Ya'll know who you are. . . . asking, practically begging, for a poster here who had written to someone who was in Christina's class, for a yearbook picture of her! IMO, IIRC, some of you are here right now. IMO
When did your prurient interests change??? :D [/*]
FYI: The interest to see Christina's picture is not only expressed in CTV's board but in many boards like websleuths and etc

I remember wanting to see her photo. But now I could care less whether I see her or not. I'm sure I will see her in due time.
And I remember being asked to 'accidently' get someone to bump into her to get this picture, LOL.

Thanks. Except for the fact that my back is "out"...quite well!
It just seems to me that everything Mrs. Lauterbach said was after Maria was dead. I, for one, see no need to excoriate her now. Nothing to do with "rewriting history" either. Mary and Maria's history came to an end on Dec. 14th. :(
