Is Missing Pregnant Marine Another Military Oversight, Part Of Growing Epidemic Of Violence Against Women?
I am starting to feel like Nancy Grace, who in many ways I am very much like. We're both bitches. Anyway, from the dad who threw his four kids, ranging from ages 3 to a few months, to hiker in NC and now this missing pregnant marine, I am really starting to wonder what the hell is wrong with people, our law enforcement and this country.
CNN is reporting Lance Corporal Maria Lauterbach, who was 8 months pregnant when she disappeared three weeks ago, was only reported missing publicly yesterday. This abduction and harming of pregnant women is becoming a damn epidemic. No wonder celebs don't want to reveal their pregnancy. Who can blame them.
Here's some details from the CNN report on Maria's case:
Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach could give birth at any time, Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown told the Jacksonville, North Carolina, Daily News on Monday.The sheriff's department said Lauterbach's mother said that her daughter, of Montgomery, Ohio, had witnessed an incident at Camp Lejeune and was to testify about it.
Sheriff's department officials said evidence causes them to be concerned about Lauterbach's disappearance, WITN reported.
The Marine's car was found Monday at Jacksonville's bus station, Brown told the Daily News, and her cell phone had been found at Camp Lejeune's front gate on December 20.
Her mother reported her missing on December 19, and told the sheriff's department "that she was very suspicious that something bad may have happened to her daughter," the department said in a news release.
What's also suspicious is the amount of time it took local law enforcement to begin their investigation. According to them, is wasn't until there was "suspicious activity" in her checking account that they final launched a missing person's report. Imagine the poor family who've been worrying about their PREGNANT daughter for three weeks, only to have our own government and state authorities sit on it on the case until they felt like it.
