Marine Cesar Laurean wanted in the slaying of a pregnant colleague arrested

Cesar Laurean has finally been apprehended in the small Mexican town of San Juan de la Vina.Unfortunately, since our treaty with Mexico precludes them from turning over fugitives to United States jurisdiction who might face capital puishment,US officials had to promise Mexican Authorities that they would not seek the death penalty if Laurean's convicted. Instead, he'll face life in prison.
Marine Cesar Laurean, wanted in the slaying of a pregnant colleague, visited relatives in Mexico last week, a man who said he was his cousin told The Associated Press Tuesday. CNN first reported that Laurean had briefly stopped by the liquor store of Juan Antonio Ramos Ramirez in Zapopan, just outside Guadalajara. Speaking to The Associated Press late Tuesday from his store, Ramos Ramirez said Laurean walked into his store last Monday or Tuesday and the two cousins exchanged about 10 minutes of small talk about their respective families.
Laurean then told Ramos Ramirez, whose mother is Laurean's sister, that he had to get back to two friends waiting outside.
Days later, Ramos Ramirez saw a television report that Laurean was wanted in the U.S. for killing 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach.
Authorities have said they suspected that Laurean fled to Mexico, but the comments from Ramos Ramirez were the first public confirmation that the Marine had been in the country.
