Pregnant Marine Is Dead: Sheriff

Posted Jan 11, 08 12:23 PM CST in US 

(Newser) – The pregnant Marine missing from Camp Lejune, NC, since Dec. 14 is dead, the local sheriff said today. The search is on for her body and for the suspect in the case, a fellow Marine she had accused of sexual assault, CNN reports. Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach disappeared just before she was scheduled to testify in the case; the suspect's whereabouts are unknown.

Lauterbach purchased a bus ticket to Texas the day she went missing but never used it. Her ATM card was later used by a man who covered a bank surveillance camera with a rag while he withdrew money. The missing Marine, who was about 8 months pregnant, told her mother before her disappearance that the assault probe had “gone sour.”
