Thought For Food

They caught Cesar Laurean in Mexico.  It’s been three months since he fled the U.S.  But here’s the thing:  This whole time his wife has been slithering over to a relative’s house to use a computer to contact him.  Big surprise, right?  Not exactly.  Especially when you consider that she was kind enough to give him a twenty-four hour head start on his escape to begin with. 

Unfortunately, in the state of North Carolina, it isn’t against the law to communicate with a fugitive.  It’s not against the law to know the whereabouts of a fugitive and refuse to reveal that information.  So, Christina Laurean once again gets away with helping out her husband. 

Cesar had 10 pesos in his pocket when he was apprehended.  He was living in a two room wooden house outside of Tacambaro, Michoacan, Mexico.  Locals stated that he frequented an internet cafe there.  It will be interesting to hear what all they find on the computer they confiscated, which contained the email contacts between Christina and Cesar Laurean.  I will be glued to truTV when this one comes to trial.  I might just see if I can get down there to the courthouse and watch a little bit of it in person.  

The DNA test on Maria’s baby hasn’t been done yet.  According to NCIS, they are waiting until Laurean is returned to the U.S.  They want a reliable DNA sample from him when he is returned.   

Mary Lauterbach talked today about the last conversation she had with Maria.  It was only a few hours before she went missing.  Maria never said anything about leaving.  As a matter of fact Maria spoke to her about a get together they had planned in the near future.  She thinks it’s possible that Maria wrote the letter found in her apartment under duress.  She said the wording was awkward.  We talked about that before. 

They haven’t charged Christina Laurean with anything yet, however charges could be brought in the future depending on what they find on the computer.  I still have a hinky feeling about Christina Laurean’s involvement.  I think at minimum she knew a lot more than she admits to.  She certainly has been in contact with Cesar and I believe that they were making plans for him to come back to the states to visit. 

I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next!

How about you?
