Seven subpoenas that shed some light on the way Cesar Laurean may have communicated with his wife prior to his April 10 capture in Mexico were unsealed by a judge Monday.
Laurean was indicted in January for first-degree murder in the death of pregnant Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach. Lauterbach had previously accused Laurean of rape.
Laurean fled Onslow County on Jan. 11, leaving notes with his wife, Christina Laurean, that he had buried Lauterbach's body behind their home.
Local and federal authorities served search warrants on the Jacksonville home of Christina Laurean's sister three weeks ago looking for evidence that Christina Laurean had been in communication with her husband.
Information sought in the subpoenas includes:
The phone records from Embarq for the Subway Restaurant at 109½ Western Boulevard on March 31 from 7 to 7:45 p.m. Christina Laurean's brother-in-law works there, Subway employees confirmed Monday.
The subscriber information from Verizon Wireless for a phone from the Denver metropolitan area.
Subscriber information and IP logs from Roadrunner of two e-mail accounts from Yahoo and two IP addresses.
Information from Marine Federal Credit Union on "all bank accounts of Cesar Laurean" including "receipts, checks, POS transactions, and account changes and accesses" from Jan. 14 to Feb. 15.
Laurean was arrested April 10 in Tacambaro, Mexico, nearly three months after fleeing Onslow County. Authorities said they had zeroed in on his location by seizing computers at the Jacksonville home of Christina Laurean's sister. Those warrants remain sealed by Onslow County Superior Court Judge Charles Henry.
Christina Laurean did not break the law by not notifying authorities that she was communicating with her husband while he was a fugitive, said Dewey Hudson, the district attorney for the 4th Prosecutorial District, which includes Onslow County.
Laurean, of Las Vegas, was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, but family members there have said he moved to the U.S. more than 10 years ago. He had told members of his unit that he would flee to Mexico if it appeared he would be found guilty of rape. Authorities believe he entered Mexico on a bus on Jan. 14.
