Bodies of Cpl Maria Lauterbach and Unborn Child Found Burned and Buried

This is an unfolding—and very big—news story from Onslow County, North Carolina. It’s tragic and horrible. The young woman was in her eight month of pregnancy.

Unfortunately, North Carolina is one of 15 states without a fetal homicide law so no crime is likely to be registered against the unborn child.

$25K offered for suspect in Marine death

Cpl. Cesar A. Laurean has been charged in the first-degree murder of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, who was more than eight months pregnant and had accused her alleged killer of rape.

What are believed to be the burned remains of Lauterbach and her unborn child were taken to the state medical examiner’s office in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Monday morning.
