Marines attempting damage control

Military: Slain Marine said she was not afraid of suspect - CNN.com

JACKSONVILLE, North Carolina (CNN) — A pregnant Marine who disappeared in December told victims’ advocates at Camp Lejeune that she didn’t feel unsafe being around another Marine now wanted in her death, Marine Corps officials said Tuesday.

Marine Cpl. Cesar Armando Laurean never violated the military protective order directing him to stay away from Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, said Col. Gary Sokoloski, the judge advocate general officer for the II Marine Expeditionary Force.

I just have to ask, does this really let the Marines off for having “confirmed” that Marie Lauterbach was a compulsive liar? I know they are obviously in damage control mode at this point but I would think after this….

Military investigators also “confirmed the history of compulsive lying,” the report said, and added that Lauterbach was facing a possible discharge from the Marine Corps and was under personal and professional stress.

they might be better off just keeping their mouths shut. I know I can’t let it go, maybe I will at some point but the cover their butt story about Maria Lauterbach telling them she wasn’t afraid to be around the man that probably killed her just made me mad all over again. I have to say that if I worked for someone that felt they could confirm I had a history of compulsive lying I would be telling them anything I needed to to get out of the office. I am sure that is exactly what happened here because they obviously didn’t believe she had been assaulted and that would mean any protection they offered wouldn’t be protection at all.
