Sheriff Ed Brown says his officers appear to be close to finding the body Maria Lauterbach, while District Attorney Dewey Hudson says detectives found what appeared to be burnt human remains.

Brown says they found a cavity in the backyard of Laurean's home. He says the medical examiner will be there in the morning and they won't being any digging until daylight.

After some slight digging in a fire pit, detectives found what "appeared to be burnt human remains," the D.A. said Friday night.

"We think we have found what will (contain) the skeletal remains of Maria Lauterbach," Hudson said. Authorities placed a tarp and two white tents over the area and planned to begin slowly scraping the earth with garden tools in the morning.

Investigators from the State Bureau of Investigation planned to move indoors and begin a search for blood and other evidence inside his one-story, brown brick ranch home off Gum Branch Road.

They are focusing on what they called an underground cavity in the backyard of a comrade she had accused of rape.

Sheriff Ed Brown says authorities don't plan to look anywhere else.

hope they catch that son of a bitch. As a former servicemen... I wanna say this...We had a saying in the navy..."Hurry up and wait". It doesn't surprise me one bit that this fella was allowed to get away with what he done to this lady...He should have been arrested and put on restriction until the investigation was complete.

I hope they catch this coward and he gets a taste of his own medicine. Have someone rape him and then burn him to death and see how he likes it.
