America needs the gas...



U.S. Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, 21, who was arrested in Mexico in April, will be returned to Onslow County, North Carolina, within a week, to face charges of killing Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, who was likely pregnant with his child after he raped her. She threatened to turn him in, and her charred body and that of her fetus were found beneath a fire pit in Laurean's backyard near Camp Lejeune after he had a pig roast with friends while her body was buried below the roasting pig.

Because Laurean holds citizenship in the United States and Mexico, he could not be immediately deported and had to go through the extradition process, which means he will likely not face the death penalty.

I have followed this case closely since Nancy Grace first reported the disappearance of Lauterbach from a Marine base not far from where I was stationed in North Carolina. OS and LWJ probably know that his apprehension and, finally, extradition, bring me great joy. That being said, let's save the gas (we need all of it that we can get!), let him live, and let him wallow in the misery of the Wallens Ridge Federal Prison in Virginia. I wish the best to you Ceasar... don't drop the soap!
