Laurean makes first court appearance Monday

No bond for the Camp LeJeune Marine charged with murdering his pregnant colleague.

Corporal Cesar Laurean made his first court appearance Monday morning. He is being held in the Onslow County jail, after being extradited from Mexico last week.

The burned remains of Lance Corporal Maria Lauderbach were found buried in Laurean’s backyard. He now faces second-degree murder charges for her death.

Laurean’s attorney said he might try to get his client’s trial moved, because of the extensive media coverage.
