I think I heard it was found at a Microtel, but that employee(s) hadn't seen him there. I wonder if someone checked in for him.
The Hotel is close to an airport, too. Wonder if someone bought him an airplane ticket. These guys could look alike when in their uniforms and military haircuts.

If they're impressed and satisfied with themselves, I think we should go to the source and find out how impressed and satisfied their wives/partners are. Obviously we have a whole different definition of impressive and satisfying.

Exactly. He called Lauterbach a "solid" marine, then called Laurean a "stellar" marine.
That was the beginning of the CYA right there at the beginning of the press conference. How do you call the dead Marine "solid" and in the next breath call her apparent murderer (the one with her blood all over his living room walls) "stellar" ????????

The Marine's are doing major damage control IMO
What was with that Lt. Coronel's litle smile ? He shouldn't of been smiling so much. I was furious when he said we lost two marines.:furious: No, mister, you lost one loyal Marine in a horrific murder along with her innocent unborn baby. You didn't lose a Marine in Laurean, you lost a murdering rapist, that is not a Marine. He is an aborration. :furious:
I can't blieve they took that goodbye note at face value without analyzing the handwriting. Many 20 year old women have similar type handwriting. Are they 100 % sure Maria wrote it ? It could have been writiten by Xtina as part of the staging along with bus ticket and $ withdrawals. :mad: IMO they really screwed up big time but they will never admit it.

Was said they are not a hand writing expert, has to go to the lab for testing...
Which don't know if they sent it there yet. Wasn't stated.

The cab driver in the article states that happens alot, fugitives using id's for the ticket purchase then disposing of the id they just used.

The NCIS guy with the white hair stepped up to answer a similar question, stating that Lauterbach's housemate (Durham) had brought the note in to the office where she worked and told them that it "appeared to be" her handwriting.
I'm pretty sure Durham had only been living with Lauterbach for a brief time and was probably not very (if at all) familiar with her handwriting.

I sure wish they would look for and release the ATM photos of the man trying to cover the camera with a rag. I wonder if Xtina would be visible in the recording. And if the Marines took it sa true that Maria was the one who withdrew the money, I should expect there to be a video of her to uphold their theory. I wonder if POS would be seen looking over her shoulder ?

I wish the sheriff would talk more about this christina, the wife. Where was she when all this took place? Funny how no one will answer that? I find it highly suspcious she had no clue of anything until 4am in the morning (what was she doing up at that time finding a note?) Why are the reporters searching her out and asking her questions? They didn't let anyone alone in the scott peterson case! lol No one seems to talk to anyone regarding this case. You never see an interview with friends or neighbors or relatives or anything. How come no one knows if she had some sort of relationship with this guy? Did they have something going on on the side? There are always people that see these types of things. I wish we were doing the investigation instead of that sheriff. They don't seem to have a clue.

Good question. Especially since the article says:
"Saturday while walking her dog across the street from the Durham Police Department, Mary found a military identification card with the name Frances Lauterbach, also known as Maria Frances Lauterbach."
Saturday was the 12th, and Laurean went missing on the 11th, didnt he? And we know Maria was already in the ground in Laurean's backyard by that time.
So that leaves Laurean and/or his wife.

I call BS on this press conference. Certain things make absolutely no sense. If Marie told them what they said she did about the sexual incidences, one being pretty much consensual and the other he stopped when she told him to, why were they continuing to investigate a "rape" charge. Someone would have explained by now that what she was describing wasnt rape. Maybe a sexual harrassment charge but not rape. Also if Maria told them that the baby wasn't his because it wasn't the product of the rape, why would they be waiting to do DNA on the baby. Why would she let them do DNA on the baby if she told them it wasn't a product of rape? Also if Laurean was aware of what she was saying and the way she was saying it, what would have been his need to have 3 lawyers?
In my opinion the Marine Crop has to be lying and/or downplaying the rape in hindsight so as not to look responsible.

In one of the articles on here Maria's uncle said that the baby was Laureans. Will they still be able to do dna on the baby?

I saw an interview last night on Greta (even tho she's out of town) with the nextdoor neighbor whose wife was told by Laurean's wife some time previously that she was helping her husband paint the walls of their home and garage.
Obviously, Christina discovered something the minute she saw the blood-covered walls (or evidence that the blood had been attempted to be cleaned off) of her home.

POS is STELLAR MARINE??????
While Maria was simply "solid"??
That's "good ol boy" for Semper Fi....cuz well, you know he had a kid and another on the way - what a man - stellar....except for that pesky murder and backyard burial "incident". I guess murder of a fellow Marine who was 9 mos pregnant with his baby followed by burning and burial in his backyard is stellar performance - especially if it follows an assault/rape "incident" ???
I'd like to hit that smirking Colonel in the head with something "solid" until his ears were ringing and he was seeing "stellar".
It's obvious that Maria got the brush off at every turn...and OF COURSE she not gonna say she was afraid of POS, it's not something a "steady" Marine would do. They pooh-pooh'd Maria and chalked her disappearance up to "hormones" and the assault up to her being dramatic and exaggerating - just like her Mother implied. Was Mom being coached by her hubby - Mr I say nothing career AF Dad?
The CO needs his butt kicked and that whole BASE needs new leadership - I suggest a WOMAN CO!
I was disgusted with the Marines and the CO BEFORE...now I am just plain angry - that presser just mostly made my BLOOD BOIL. The callousness and disrespect for Maria was evident...but POS came out looking STELLAR!!!

**Bolding about the vehicle being recovered/found is mine** The rest of the release is original in its entirety - Remember, if someone even THINKS they have seen him, no matter how remotely, please report it - that's what LE is there for, to weed through what is plausible and what is not - What one thinks may be "unimportant" could actually be the biggest break. One only has to look at Meredith to see how the smallest details can pull something together.

I think they were having an affair. And maybe the rape charges were done in vengance, like maybe she wanted him to leave his wife? Don't flame me, I'm just trying to think in all angles. Because someone dies a horrible death does not make them an angel when they were here on Earth. She was human...and there are alot of women and men out there that get involved with a married person, fall in love and do strange things....just saying. That would also explain the statement about that they continued to have a friendly relationship. Maybe that's why she changed her mind about the rape charges and changed them back again.
SO anyway, maybe she was going to leave. Hormones can do crazy things to a pregnant girl...epecially one (possibly) in love with a married man who won't leave his wife...he was a looker, sad to say. On her way out she decided to make wife aware of everthing. That's where wifey comes in....what do y'all think?
Also, I think he's gone on a flight. He didn't park that close to the airport for no reason. And who really knows how long he's been gone.

As we said in the beginning, everyone in Maria's life failed her in life. They don't get a re-do now that she and baby Gabriel are long dead.
I don't care what the THs say. Bring the POS to justice and prosecute any accomplices.
RIP, sweet Maria and baby Gabriel.

The more and more I think about the press conference the angrier I get. They said that the protective order was never violated. So how in God's name did they carry on a "friendly relationship"?
Excellent point, nnglas! :)
I'm pretty sure that the military guy reading the timeline didn't mention anything about that, but it was the white-haired NCIS guy in answer to a (planted shill?) question from the audience.
Also, did Timeline Marine say something about the Protective Order being expired as of late September and not renewed?
But wait a minute! I do remember Timeline Marine reading that, in answer to interview questions, Laurean said he had had NO (none, zero, nada, zilch) sexual encounters with Lauterbach at all. (IOW, he did not claim consentual sex and was saying her child had no chance whatsoever of being his.)

Sorry I didn't respond earlier when asked where my friend saw the truck. I had to run out to grab some medication for the kidlet...
Anyway, she saw the truck at the intersection of Chapel Hill St & Hwy 147 (aka the Durham Freeway) which is 2 blocks from the Durham Police Dept HQ and 3 blocks from where the ATM card was found. It was at 7:30 am on Saturday 1/12. It was reported to the DPD.
Also of note, that is PAST the place where the truck was found, further WNW by about 15 miles.
Now, if I could just hear from my parents, who are on their way home to Durham from the airport (I hope)

Guys, I feel the one of our poster commented, my mind is boggled after this presser.
I've decided that I'm going to need confirmations and affirmations in order to believe any and all the facts the military presser gave. For example: atm video and shots of the transactions, which should either confirm or deny who used what when. That should be simple for authorities to produce and provide proof to the public.
The paternity of the baby, if not laureans then find the father, he should have some information. Individuals who did the interviews and exams, her personal care physician.
I need corroborating evidence to rule in or out this presser. Time will tell. We need to analyze everything said. We should be able to confirm alot of the facts by other means other than they said so.
Where's the murder weapon since it's blunt force trauma?
The thing that is real hard for me to believe, is the comments their using as evidence maria left on her own free will. the bank card being found, the cell phone oh yeah, thrown out the car window in anger. I don't think so, now that was pretty stupid.
If she bought this ticket, why the heck wasn't it used, and where is it now?
Someone else should have noticed a big pregnant girl at the bus station right?
I notice things like that, we haven't had not one corroborrating witness to this bus station sighting and purchase.
If she thought she was a problem to the military, family and wanted to just run and hide, why didn't she make some kind of comment to the mother, even a sarcastic one about leaving. This just dawned on me, the military presser guy stated that possibly she threw the cell phone out the window when speaking with her mom and it wasn't a good conversation, she was angry and tossed it. So is this when she decided to leave?
It doesn't make sense. She disappeared almost immediately after this conversation and probably murdered. Now that they have the cell phone, wonder why they didn't mention the calls in and out, the pings etc. Surely she looked up the bus station schedule or called it.
Due to have a baby, surely she would have given her mother some type of heads up of her intentions on leaving and going into a secluded life, because what else would the motive be for her rush departure? All medical forms ask and want emergency information. With the baby around the corner, she would'nt want to risk the delivering doctor, facility not having any personal emergency contact information. Too many dead end roads that don't make sense after I start trying to place reason in this pressers step by step account of events of the timeline as they ran it down for us trying to explain act by act of what led them to this conclusion then onto the next conclusion.
They covered their tracks, and it could be the truth, but it's going to have to fit reasonably and corroborate.

Did you miss the part of the press conference where the official Marine timeline reported that, when interviewed, Laurean stated he had never had a sexual relationship with Maria?
IOW: No sex, no affair.

IIRC they said the protective order lapsed between 12/24/07 and 01/08/08.
I don't understand the Military's statements at all. According to them they spent between May 11, and now investigating absolutely nothing. Because she described a consensual encounter and another encounter where she told him to stop and he did. She also told them that the baby didn't result as part of a rape. I still don't know what "rape" they are talking about. It certainly doesn't sound as if she described a rape to them.

A better question is if she was so close to deliver, the guy she was renting from was getting ready to deploy, why leave at all? Why not wait until she had the baby, collected a couple more paychecks. Because if she stayed here she could go the the hospital and have care on base. If she were somewhere else she would be putting herself in danger to be found and brought up on charges of being UA.
Another problem I find with their story is I thought the roomate heard or was there shortly after the conversation with her mother. He said that she told him she was upset right? Or am I remembering that incorrectly? But if he did say that, then throwing the phone out of the window while driving around talking to her mother......that theory just kind of goes......out the window.
Also, correct me if I am wrong, I thought that the roomate also said she was pretty much on bed rest because of the pregnancy, but she was at work the day before she disappeared?

Im dissappointed in the marines and their comments and conduct, and my father was a Marine...a real one, not one of these guys.
More that anything im SAD.
Sad for this girl and her baby.
Was there no one in her life that would stand up for her.
She deserved a chance and so did the baby.
This man...was a cold blooded baby killer....and the military is turning a blind eye, he is scott peterson all over again...but worse
Her Mom said she was "exaggerating" had a tendency to lie and dramatize things. Her Mom also wanted her to give up Gabriel for adoption. Then her Mom shut up when they found Maria dead. Her Air Force Dad has said NOTHING, her siblings, NOTHING, her fellow Marines (aside from her roommate) NOTHING. The Colonel called her "steady" while calling POS "stellar".
The Marines at LeJeune showed more public admiration and "love" for POS than for Maria! In fact they spent most of the PC tearing Maria down, while making excuses for themselves and POS.
And NO, there doesn't seem to be anyone in the Marines (or MArias family) with a anything nice to say about Maria - THANK GOD for the good Sheriff, who genuinely seems to care about bringing POS to justice for the MURDERS of Maria and Gabriel. HE CARED and still CARES for Maria and Baby Gabriel! That little tiny hand in the dirt will keep him motivated to hunt down POS - for as long as it takes!
I, for one, am going to speak out FOR MARIA. I don't care what kind of Marine she was, she DID NOT DESERVE her fate and her son certainly did NOTHING to deserve HIS. She was a woman, single pregnant, young and doing the best she could in a MAN's WORLD. I don't care HOW she got pregnant or what she was like, or whether she was steady or flaky! She is now a VICTIM, a statistic proving that to be pregnant makes one a target for a violent death. Maria was not perfect - well neither AM I, so I am willing to be a voice FOR Maria - so that she and Gabriel did not die and lie in a cold lonely grave for NOTHING. Maria and Gabriel were ignored and disrespected in life, but NO MORE! CHANGE MUST HAPPEN! The Marines, the MILITARY as a whole, must celebrate the new millennium with some fresh thinking and some new policies and procedures. Maria was a MARINE in EVERY WAY and she deserves their respect, their grief and their promise that what happened to her, will NEVER happen to another woman.
I DEMAND change - for Maria and Gabriel.
I may be too late to help Maria and support her in life, but I AM supporting her in death - and I WILL support change for every woman who comes after!
I WILL STAND UP FOR MARIA!

A better question is if she was so close to deliver, the guy she was renting from was getting ready to deploy, why leave at all? Why not wait until she had the baby, collected a couple more paychecks. Because if she stayed here she could go the the hospital and have care on base. If she were somewhere else she would be putting herself in danger to be found and brought up on charges of being UA.
Another problem I find with their story is I thought the roomate heard or was there shortly after the conversation with her mother. He said that she told him she was upset right? Or am I remembering that incorrectly? But if he did say that, then throwing the phone out of the window while driving around talking to her mother......that theory just kind of goes......out the window.

I'm looking forward one of the news channels posting a transcript of the official timeline.
As for the answers made by the NCIS guy, I'm starting to think his job there was damage control and he was responding to a shill, because none of the statements that called into question Maria's complaint were made unprompted by the official Marine.
The official timeline did not say the March contact was consentual sex, to the best of my recollection.

Another question. Who the heck is in EL Paso? I know if I were going to deliver a baby soon I would most likely want to be around someone I know. I still haven't heard that she had any connection to El Paso whatsoever. Besides what was she going to do for money when she got there? When they put her being UA that automatically stops her pay. Are we to believe she was just going to be pregnant living on the streets? She doesn't seem to have had that much money.

Because someone dies a horrible death does not make them an angel when they were here on Earth. She was human...and there are alot of women and men out there that get involved with a married person, fall in love and do strange things....just saying. That would also explain the statement about that they continued to have a friendly relationship. Maybe that's why she changed her mind about the rape charges and changed them back again.
SO anyway, maybe she was going to leave. Hormones can do crazy things to a pregnant girl...epecially one (possibly) in love with a married man who won't leave his wife...he was a looker, sad to say. On her way out she decided to make wife aware of everthing. That's where wifey comes in....what do y'all think?
Also, I think he's gone on a flight. He didn't park that close to the airport for no reason. And who really knows how long he's been gone.
all of your post sounds very plausible to me....

Yep, I think it was he who said that. He said it a couple of times that in seemed to be more or less consensual. The first encounter.
Wasn't the POS a superior of hers? IMO any sex a subordinate has with a superior can never be truly considered consensual.

What if he talked her into meeting him there and that was the reason for the ticked to El Paso. At sometime maybe they planned on him taking her to the bus and that was when he was chose to take kill her? Also keying her car was one of the harassment issues.

OMG, on NG they keep showing the clip over and over of the moments when they took Maria and Gabriel's remains out of the fire pit. The man on the right almost falls as he gets out of the pit, and for a second you can see Maria's burnt head BEFORE they put the blurred circle on it. How horrible !
I wish they would realize their mistake and stop showing that. Imagine if her family is watching ?

AND YES GRETA ROCKS!! I noticed that not one interviewer believed that Christine could not have either 1.) Not noticed that something was horribly wrong in her house or 2.) that she was totally not involved in the murder of Maria and Gabriel or even 3.) helped in the abetting of her husband fleeing.

Could it be that she didn't like to admit that she felt threatened because it made her look "weak" to other Marines around her?
That she didn't want to be teased but wanted to maintain her dignity as a strong Marine,

Another question. Who the heck is in EL Paso? I know if I were going to deliver a baby soon I would most likely want to be around someone I know. I still haven't heard that she had any connection to El Paso whatsoever. Besides what was she going to do for money when she got there? When they put her being UA that automatically stops her pay. Are we to believe she was just going to be pregnant living on the streets? She doesn't seem to have had that much money.
All very, very good questions ..... If anyone in her family doesn't know anything about El Paso, then it's obvious that she'd go to her mother, if she went anywhere at all.
A reporter on Nancy a few minutes ago claimed the bus ticket had been found in Maria's abandoned car ..... but since his neighbor saw him driving Maria's car, he could have left the ticket there as a red herring.
The reporter also said that a woman "matching Maria's description" purchased the ticket. Since her picture only recently was broadcast and the ticket was purchased on the 14th, then someone in a blonde wig could have purchased the ticket ..... Xtina?

Just for clarification, according to Meriam Webster:
"solid" of good substantial quality
"stellar" outstanding
So, what is being said by the military is that he was better than she was? Maybe the Marines should cover their tracks better.
Ooops! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_2_15.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYIXUS) ..... Marines should have called Nancy before they labeled their boy Laurean as "stellar"

Her Mom said she was "exaggerating" had a tendency to lie and dramatize things. Her Mom also wanted her to give up Gabriel for adoption. Then her Mom shut up when they found Maria dead. Her Air Force Dad has said NOTHING, her siblings, NOTHING, her fellow Marines (aside from her roommate) NOTHING. The Colonel called her "steady" while calling POS "stellar".
The Marines at LeJeune showed more public admiration and "love" for POS than for Maria! In fact they spent most of the PC tearing Maria down, while making excuses for themselves and POS.
And NO, there doesn't seem to be anyone in the Marines (or MArias family) with a anything nice to say about Maria - THANK GOD for the good Sheriff, who genuinely seems to care about bringing POS to justice for the MURDERS of Maria and Gabriel. HE CARED and still CARES for Maria and Baby Gabriel! That little tiny hand in the dirt will keep him motivated to hunt down POS - for as long as it takes!
I, for one, am going to speak out FOR MARIA. I don't care what kind of Marine she was, she DID NOT DESERVE her fate and her son certainly did NOTHING to deserve HIS. She was a woman, single pregnant, young and doing the best she could in a MAN's WORLD. I don't care HOW she got pregnant or what she was like, or whether she was steady or flaky! She is now a VICTIM, a statistic proving that to be pregnant makes one a target for a violent death. Maria was not perfect - well neither AM I, so I am willing to be a voice FOR Maria - so that she and Gabriel did not die and lie in a cold lonely grave for NOTHING. Maria and Gabriel were ignored and disrespected in life, but NO MORE! CHANGE MUST HAPPEN! The Marines, the MILITARY as a whole, must celebrate the new millennium with some fresh thinking and some new policies and procedures. Maria was a MARINE in EVERY WAY and she deserves their respect, their grief and their promise that what happened to her, will NEVER happen to another woman.
I DEMAND change - for Maria and Gabriel.
I may be too late to help Maria and support her in life, but I AM supporting her in death - and I WILL support change for every woman who comes after!
I WILL STAND UP FOR MARIA!
Anyone else???

Re the paint cans. The guy across the street from me is a painting contractor. I can usually tell from here, when his cans are in the driveway, if the cans are new or used.
I hope POS didn't buy the paint before murdering Maria, with the plan that the room would need painting, because of the blood splatters. He may have bought the paint prior, just because the rooms needed painting.
If afterwards, paint was definitely purchased for covering up.
I know they said one of the rooms was the garage. Was the other the livingroom? Or a bedroom? Or... ?

I'm not sure that Maria felt she could go to her mother after the phone conversation they had. Rememeber, her mother did supposedly say in this phone conversation she felt that Maria should put the baby up for adoption.
Ok.......maybe now is the time to tell my story. I am adopted. My MOM AND DAD adopted me when I was close to 2 years old. When I was 20, I foolishly had intimate relations with a man and got pregnant. My mother felt that being single I should go to a home for unwed mothers and give the baby up for adoption.
I did go tp the home. I gave birth to a baby girl. My mother had me convinced that I should give this baby up, even though by now I was wavering on that decision. (very close to due date) She brought me a ticket to go to California to stay with some friends to think it over. after I had given birth. I did, I spent a week there, thinking and thinking. It was hard for me.........one as an adoptee and knowing that adopted parents can be loving and good parents and also as a natural mother.
I came home............and today my daughter is 29 and blessed me with two beautiful grandaughters.
Why did I type all of the above? To give you all maybe some of the thoughts/feelings/emotions, etc. that Maria might have been going through along with her mother too.
The glaring difference between Maria and I, is that Gabriel's alledged father was in the picture, my baby's father wasn't.

I don't know if it was discussed here since I was having server issues for a while early this evening then just came back about 1/2 hr. ago.
The truck was found at the Microtel Inn adjacent to the Raleigh-Durham airport. It was parked around back out of sight of the surveillance cameras and found today. The Inn doesn't have any record of him staying there even under one of his aliases. There's a Greyhound nearby but not a ticketing station, just for pre-ticketed passengers.
Well, since a WS poster's friend spotted the car just 15 minutes from the location, we COULD assume the truck has been there since Saturday A.M.

From an article about Sheriff Brown:
"Courted by both Democrats and Republicans to run for a seat in the state Legislature, his interaction with reporters since Lauterbach disappeared has led him to decide against it.Doing so would require Brown to leave his humble country home, frequently filled by his two grandchildren and his parents, who live across the street. He can't imagine leaving his church, filled each Sunday by dozens of "kinfolk" who live in an area where he was raised as the oldest of six children by a tenant farmer.
. . .
Locals greet Brown as "Mr. Ed" at his favorite diner, where he favors sweet tea with extra ice, and are quick to recognize "Ol' Betty," his boat-sized 1990 Chevrolet."

I don't know if it was discussed here since I was having server issues for a while early this evening then just came back about 1/2 hr. ago.
The truck was found at the Microtel Inn adjacent to the Raleigh-Durham airport. It was parked around back out of sight of the surveillance cameras and found today. The Inn doesn't have any record of him staying there even under one of his aliases. There's a Greyhound nearby but not a ticketing station, just for pre-ticketed passengers.
Thank you so much, panthera! I agree with fran -- bet he's been there the whole time. Fits in with what was posted.

Cesar's truck was found at Microtel Hotel in Marrissville, NC. Or some town close to that spelling. I am way over tired now. too much posting!
I'll see what I can find for you and bring it forward. Unless someone else beats me to it steadfast.
No Cesar located yet though.

Well, since a WS poster's friend spotted the car just 15 minutes from the location, we COULD assume the truck has been there since Saturday A.M.
JMHO

I'd even guess Friday morning. Like Mike Brooks said, it's possible that someone met him there or he had other transportation waiting. Airline manifests need checking for all flights outbound on Friday/Saturday.

I don't understand. On NG there's a banner that says murder suspect's truck found at motel. Where is that discussed here? How can I be missing that?
(I was at work till after Nancy's first showing.) Please, please tell me what is going on.:)

The truck belonging to a Camp Lejeune Marine accused of killing a pregnant comrade was located at Morrisville motel Tuesday afternoon.
License plates on the black pickup truck parked outside the Microtel Inn & Suites, near the Prime Outlets center off Airport Boulevard south of Interstate 40 (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=104+Factory+Shops+Rd,+Morrisville,+NC+27560 ,+USA&ie=UTF8&om=1&s=AARTsJp8eXXNH9V0rtIanC8PsgyzpYoV6A&ll=35.867561,-78.816948&spn=0.024344,0.036478&z=14&iwloc=addr&output=embed), matched those on a black Dodge pickup that authorities said belonged to Laurean.

You're most welcome! I doubt he's still around now, but it does change the possibilities of where he could be from what we were thinking this past weekend. I wish we knew if he had any fake ID.

Or he could have taken a free airport shuttle.

I'm not sure that Maria felt she could go to her mother after the phone conversation they had. Rememeber, her mother did supposedly say in this phone conversation she felt that Maria should put the baby up for adoption.
Ok.......maybe now is the time to tell my story. I am adopted. My MOM AND DAD adopted me when I was close to 2 years old. When I was 20, I foolishly had intimate relations with a man and got pregnant. My mother felt that being single I should go to a home for unwed mothers and give the baby up for adoption.
I did go tp the home. I gave birth to a baby girl. My mother had me convinced that I should give this baby up, even though by now I was wavering on that decision. (very close to due date) She brought me a ticket to go to California to stay with some friends to think it over. after I had given birth. I did, I spent a week there, thinking and thinking. It was hard for me.........one as an adoptee and knowing that adopted parents can be loving and good parents and also as a natural mother.
I came home............and today my daughter is 29 and blessed me with two beautiful grandaughters.
Why did I type all of the above? To give you all maybe some of the thoughts/feelings/emotions, etc. that Maria might have been going through along with her mother too.
The glaring difference between Maria and I, is that Gabriel's alledged father was in the picture, my baby's father wasn't.
what a cool story, Lildeer...thanks for sharing :)

Oh yes, take the shuttle to the airport, but I also meant someone waiting to take him via car somewhere else. The truck could be "planted" to look like he left from the airport. Mike Brooks also said someone else could've been registered at the Inn and he was with them. So many possibilities I don't envy LE at all in their search!

Being a Marine, he could have friends all over the country. But how many would harbor him, hearing what transpired? I think it's family.

Littledeer:
Thank you for taking the time to tell 'your story.' You're so sweet. :)
I think that anyone here who is a mother, can understand where Maria was coming from, and you TOO!
The bond between a mother and child, not even yet born, is unbelieveable!
I know, been there, done that...................but not as an adopted child........IMHO, it would mean MORE to that individual.
You not only were blessed with a beautiful daughter and then wonderful grandchildren..................They were blessed to share their life with you.
That's what makes Websleuths so great! A community of human beings with a multitude of life experiences, coming together to blend their ideas and feelings into ONE case and toss them to another scenario. We may not always agree, but we're here for one purpose, to help the victim(s).
Thanks again for sharing.

ON another note, it was only 1/2 mile to the airport from the motel. Honestly, how difficult would that be for a Marine to walk?
IMHO, not much..........
