JACKSONVILLE, North Carolina (CNN) -- It's possible that a pregnant Marine missing since December 14 may have left willingly, perhaps after being upset by a phone call, documents released Thursday by Onslow County authorities show.
Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach last spoke to family members in the Dayton, Ohio, area on December 14.
Those records were bolstered by comments made by the county sheriff who pleaded for 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, who is eight months pregnant, to come home.
The young woman's mother, Mary Lauterbach, told authorities that her daughter has a history of being a "compulsive liar," a police report states.
Okay, so you listened to the mom, which other reports say she's actually the stepmother, and figured the girl ran off. Do you think she's some sort of flighty woman who made up the rape charges?
Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown said Thursday his office had not talked to the person accused in that case and referred any other comment to the Marine Corps. Officials at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, where Lauterbach is based, have not commented on the assault allegations.
Earlier Thursday, Brown pleaded with Lauterbach to come forward and get help.
"Regardless of the circumstances, this has got to stop," Brown told reporters. "You can't run from those things in life."

Tell me, sheriff, do you feel guilty that her and her baby is dead? Do you feel guilty that that you DID NOT talk to the accused rapist? Do you feel guiilty that the accused rapist is out there loose? If he killed this girl, will you feel guilty if he kills again?
This man should be fired! He was spouting this crap on the news networks. :grr:
