RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A Marine wanted in the brutal slaying of a pregnant colleague who had accused him of rape was arrested in Mexico, the FBI said late Thursday. The FBI's office in Charlotte said special agents and Mexican authorities arrested Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, who is charged with murder in the death of Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach. The FBI did not say when or where in Mexico Laurean was arrested, but said he is awaiting extradition to the U.S.
"Laurean's swift arrest in Mexico was due to the diligence and dedication of the Mexican government and our law enforcement partners," Nathan Gray, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Charlotte office, said in a statement.
"This was truly an international effort, and we will do all we can to ensure Laurean is brought back to Onslow County (N.C.) as quickly as possible to answer the charges against him."
GREAT NEWS FOR MARIA LAUTERBACH'S FAMILY...

Thank you Mexico for assisting in the capture of this punk! Thank you FBI for your great crime work on this case, and for not giving up! I know this case is far from over, so I'll be writing updates tomorrow and all weekend. The next step will be extradition. This could take up to two years if Laurean fights it. He might as well just come back now.
