RALEIGH, N.C. — A Marine accused of killing a pregnant comrade in North Carolina and fleeing to Mexico will be returned to the U.S. this week, federal authorities said Thursday.
Cpl. Cesar Laurean, 22, was scheduled to be extradited today and processed in a Texas court. Further details of his arrival weren’t disclosed because of safety concerns, said FBI spokeswoman Amy Thoreson.
Laurean was charged with first-degree murder after the charred remains of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, 20, were found in January 2008 buried in his backyard in Jacksonville.
