MANILA, Philippines—The US Marine tagged in the killing of a Filipino transgender has been identified by the authorities and will be charged with murder on Tuesday.
Private First Class Joseph Scott Pemberton, a US Marine Corps 2nd Battalion 9th Marines assigned at West Pace Express, was positively identified by a witness in the killing of 26-year-old Jeffrey “Jennifer” Laude in Olongapo City on Saturday.
Reading the Olongapo City Police director’s report, Senior Superintendent Wilben Mayor, Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson, said the witness identified Pemberton through a photo line-up process provided by the US Naval Crime Investigation Service (NCIS).
The report said the witness was 22-year-old Mark Clarence Gelviro, who on Saturday night accompanied Laude when they met the suspect at the Ambyanz Disco bar hours before Laude was found dead.
City Police director Senior Superintendent Pedrito delos Reyes said a case of murder is being readied against the US Marine.
Laude was found lifeless on the bathroom floor of one of the rooms of Celzone Lodge after checking in allegedly with Pemberton. The victim’s head was slumped in the toilet.
Police said Laude could have been strangled and killed. She died of asphyxiation.
The custody of Pemberton remains a touchy subject. Asked where Pemberton would be detained while the trial is ongoing, Mayor said they will follow the provisions of the Visiting Forces of Agreement (VFA).
Wrong tool...
You mean, like when he unwrapped his date, he found it came with nutz, which he had a violent allergic reaction to?
Guy wanted a Mounds and got an Almond Joy.
The penalty for fraud shouldn’t be murder.
Don’t wait until the package is unwrapped, look for:
1. Angular features (Asian women tend to have chubby faces);
2. Adam’s apple;
3. Long, strong fingers.
If package is unwrapped and certain “extras” discovered, just walk away.
This poor b*stard troop threw away his career, and his freedom, on an angry impulse.
These guy/girls often look VERY good, and it could happen to anyone.
Just laugh it off and hit the road.
back in the old days, the benny boys were known to be benny boys
that had to be some boot Marine to now know that, not just a drunk one
And the PI didnt have many trannys 35 years ago...that was Bugis Street or the Pat Pong
When I was afloat the the Med in ‘78 - ‘79, we hit Barcelona, Spain for liberty call. Our CO gave us the standard liberty brief for Barcelona. He said if you walk up the location known as “The Ramblas” make sure you stay on the east side of the avenue. If you venture to the west side and pick up a girl, make sure you play “Show and Tell” before “engaging” her.
Right! I don’t know how it is now, but the same thing went for Ybor City, Florida at one time. In other words, don’t be surprised at what you see when you look up a dress.
“Well, I stand corrected if some men want a “trans” whatever “girl”. That’s a new one on me.”
No real man wants a “trans” whatever “girl”. Just
freaks and pervs. Some people just don’t know
what a real man is or how to be one so
“ most men hitting on them actually are seeking that sort of thing.” is total BS.
You have to be a totally blind fool to not be able to tell that the “girl” is actually a guy ... the length and structure of the fingers, and the size and shape of the feet are a dead giveaway, as is the jaw, the larynx, the shape of the eyes ... You have to be just plain stupid - or else drunk to the point of stupor - to not know.
It ain't always that easy to spot one.
It can be very difficult to tell. The best clues are voice and height - most Southeast Asian women are very short. If “she” is 5’7” with a raspy voice and a drop-dead perfect face and body...keep looking. :)
I love our troops.
But murder is murder. I don’t care if he was angry.
He deserves the death penalty.
I think if you’re going to be drinking and looking for a piece of tail in a country known for their fruit loops you damn well better go Crocodile Dundee before you get past shaking hands. Caveat Emptor!
The best one yet:
4. Size 10 foot in a size 5 shoe.
In the first place, it’s wrong to be having sex outside of marriage. Picking up prostitutes isn’t the act of a real man at all. He screwed up at step one, and then let his impulsiveness murder someone, and now his life is over too, albeit through the court system.
