Memories of Maria Lauterbach

Not everything is black & white

don't care to share Aug 16, 2012

What many of you don't know is her rap sheet is horrible she was a liar and stole and was trying to screw over Cpl. Cesar Laurean by keeping a baby that he did not want! She wanted him to leave his wife and he refused so she went crazy and claimed rape and hunted him down asking for money! It's sad she died but she should have kept her legs closed!

You are despicable. Am I to understand that because she wasn't perfect her memory should also be tainted? Tell you what, when/if you are able to function on a humane level, hell, a HUMAN level and come on down off that high horse of yours, then (and only then) will you rate to communicate with the rest of us. Until then, may God have mercy on you.

Never forget

liz May 10, 2012

I first met Maria in bootcamp 2006. We were in the same platoon (Oscar co. plt 4029) and lived across from me in the squad bay. During rifle qualifications she was my rackmate and was jst a funny, happy, and full of life person. She is still greatly missed, and will never forget the wonderful person she was.

Beautiful American Marine (BAM)

Hans York May 31, 2011

I deeply regret the Corps' failure to disseminate the protection order for Maria. The enabling legislation was huge, letting any & all courts, tribal, Federal & specific, put orders into NCIC.
That said, the lowest individuals I ever knew were Marines who victimized their comrades. This should never have happened.
Maria & her child should still be with us.
Godspeed & fair winds, Marine.

its just not fair

never forgotten

someone who prays for your family Feb 08, 2009

I never knew you Maria and never met anyone who knew you but from day one when first hearing your story of you being missing I always was hoping you would be found ok but had a bad gut feeling something just wasn't right then they found you in a worse way to find anyone and my heart dropped.I just wanted to reach out to your family and friends and hug them and let them cry on my sholder but there was no way of doing that but always did I pray for them all and pray that justice would be found and that awful crule man would pay for what he did.I mean he took you away from your family making them feel so much pain.This man has punished your family for no reason at all.You had a short life and that's not fair at all.I know you are in a better place and I'm sure God has already given you your wings because you desreve them.It is a crule world and so many bad people in this world and it doesn't seem they get punshed enough for it. I have notice some people do alittle wrong or they do soemthign that was a mistake and they get punshed alot worse but then someone like this guy who did what he did to you doesn't get enough punshment and that's not right.Either way I do believe on judgement day he will pay for what he did.Maria, always make sure you send your family a sign letting them know you are there with them and you are watching over them.Your family and friends will never forget you Maria so you don't ahve to worry about that.I know they think about you every second that goes by.Apart of them knows you are still there with them. Spread your wings and fly Maria because you are a beautiful angel. God bless you .

Christmas time is here and again I'm sure it isn't the same for your family without you here. We still miss you more and more each passing day. Hope you have a good Christmas in Heaven with Gabriel. I love you Maria.

I've been searching in google for some new ideas and accidentally found your www.respectance.com web site. What a excellent blog! I love how appointed each of the entries are. They are well balanced, both informative and funny, and the pictures are nice too.

Roughly 1 year ago today 12-17-08...

Rachel Tilley Dec 17, 2008

You were taken from us by him. I miss you a lot Maria. And your family misses you beyond belief. Annie just celebrated a birthday a little over a week ago and not by any means are we celebrating but just taking a moment to remember this horrible day a year ago. Then Jan. 11th is when you were discovered. I just pray that he doesn't get to go free in Mexico. They are taking there sweet ass time getting him here and having the trial and I just hope everything goes over smooth and he still makes it here and doesn't get to go free in Mexico. I just wanted to let you know that yet again, I am still thinking about you, moreso on this horrible day. I hope you and baby Gabe are doing great. He would be sooo big. :'0( RIP beautiful angels and I hope to see you soon.

Hey

Rachel Tilley Dec 01, 2008

Just thought I would drop in to say hello. It has been a while. And that sad sad 1 year mark is also coming up that I am not looking forward to. Even worse, you were found on Jan.11, the day after my birthday and that day will also forever stand out in my mind and it just makes me sad. Still missing you and hope that you are doing good with that baby boy. Take care sweet angel and I will be seeing ya.

Your friend ALWAYS,

Rachel

My Memory

Alex Burford Nov 26, 2008

The horror of what happened to Maria and Her Son has never left me and never will. How cold an unfeeling a person can be sickens me.
I keep Maria's Marine Portrait on display at home along with Megan Touma and Holley Wimunc.
I was Army from 1978 to 1984 and I still have a sense of Family to the Troops.
I Hope that Maria, Megan, Holley and the Children are All in a Better Place and living well together.
I'll never forget Maria.
