Cesar Laurean Captured

Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, on the run since January, was captured Thursday night in Mexico.

Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach's remains -- and those of her fetus -- were found in Laurean's backyard, police say.

He was taken into custody after he walked up to a roadblock set up by a local anti-kidnapping task force investigating another case, according to Magdalena Guzman of the Michoacan state attorney general's office. The man gave authorities his real name, and they entered it into into a criminal database that alerted them to his fugitive status, Guzman said. Authorities said Laurean killed Lauterbach on December 14 and used her ATM card 10 days later before fleeing to Mexico to avoid prosecution. In January, Lauterbach's charred body and that of her fetus were found beneath a fire pit in Laurean's backyard in Onslow County. He has been indicted on charges of murder, ATM card theft, attempted card theft, fraud and robbery with a dangerous weapon. (more at CNN.com)
