Lance Corporal Maria Lauterbach, a 20 year-old Marine, was eight months pregnant at the time of her disappearance almost a month ago. This morning, she has been found dead.
Sheriff Ed Brown announced this morning at a press conference that her body was found buried in Onslow County, North Carolina. Though the sheriff is not calling it murder at this time, he did say that Sergeant Daniel Durham is being questioned. A key witness, not Durham, provided the information that lead police to her body.
The family's last contact with the Marine was Dec. 14, and the last time she was seen was five days after that.
This little polar bear looks mighty tuckered out. Maybe the sequence was: eat and then nappy time. Or perhaps, nappy time, and then eat. Does it really matter, though? Cute is cute. (The tongue, oh the tongue!) Thanks for the send, Flippy!

Morgan Spurlock, director of the fantastic documentary, Super Size Me, is expected to hit the Sundance Film Festival, with a brand new creation titled, Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden. Solidifying Morgan's reputation as a bankable name, the Weinsteins' impulse bought his new pic at the Berlin Film Festival after only seeing 15 minutes of it.
Buzz is that Morgan, during his 800 hours of footage and extensive travel over the entire Middle East, actually found the elusive bin Laden. Do you think he brought him a Big Mac? The movie is wrapped in 17 layers of top secret duct tape until it makes its premiere at Sundance, January 17-27. I cannot wait to see it. Do you think it's possible? Do you think Morgan managed to find bin Laden, or is it just movie hype?
A couple of my friends already have little ones and while I'm not ready quite yet, the idea of getting pregnant and becoming a mother excites me.
The one thing I'm nervous about is the the actual birth. Doctors and hospitals kind of irk me, so I know when I'm delivering my babe, I want as few white-coated individuals in the room as possible. I'm going to want my husband there and my gynecologist; and that's it. Some of my friends think of the births of their babies as huge parties — they've got their mothers and sisters and cousins in there cheering them on, but I guess I'm more of a private person.
What about you? When you have a baby, who do you want in the room?
Johnny Depp is everywhere right now but don't get me wrong, I'm far from complaining! I've loved him since his 21 Jump Street days, and even though he seems to get a little more mysterious as the years go on, he's still as sexy as ever in my eyes.
I have a feeling I'm not alone here so tell me, would you want to do, dump, or marry Johnny Depp?
