Authorities investigating the disappearance of a 20-year-old pregnant Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C., found her car abandoned in the parking lot of a nearby bus station.

Lance Cpl. Maria Frances Lauterbach, who has been missing from her post for more than three weeks, is a native of Dayton, Ohio. She is more than eight months pregnant.

Lauterbach was a witness to an incident that occurred on base and was due to testify about it, according to sheriff’s officials in Onslow County, N.C. Marine Corps and sheriff’s officials declined to provide any additional details regarding the incident.

Lauterbach was last heard from on Dec. 14, when she spoke to her mother by telephone, sheriff’s officials said. Several days later, her mother, Mary Lauterbach, of Dayton, contacted the sheriff’s department to file a missing persons report. The mother was “suspicious that something bad may have happened to her daughter,” sheriff’s officials said in a prepared statement.

Investigators found her cell phone discarded near the main gate at Camp Lejeune on Dec. 20. No calls have been made on the phone since Dec. 14, sheriff’s officials said.

1. A witness to something on base?

Are they trying to tell me she was murdered by one of her fellow marines? Because none of us thinks she fine, right?
