The latest from CNN:
[snip] Since Laurean holds both U.S. and Mexican citizenship, he cannot be immediately deported, Guzman said. His Mexican citizenship requires an extradition hearing, she said.
His capture in Mexico protects Laurean from facing the death penalty in the United States. Mexico’s extradition policy prohibits U.S. officials from seeking capital punishment against fugitives turned over by Mexican authorities.
If Laurean chooses to fight extradition, it could take up to two years to return him to North Carolina, Hudson said.

From your Crime link:
***U.S. Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, the main suspect in the killing of a 20-year-old pregnant Marine, was captured Thursday night, three months after fleeing North Carolina, the FBI said.***
The MAIN suspect????? So is there a secondary or third suspect????
interesting!!
His capture in Mexico protects Laurean from facing the death penalty in the United States.
That's one of the reasons why I detest dual citizenship.
From your CNN link:
“Maria Lauterbach had accused Laurean of raping her. He denied the allegation and any sexual contact with her.”
“I loved her,” Laurean said Thursday night when a Mexican reporter asked whether he killed Lauterbach
Sure had a strange way of showing it.
