April 15, 2008 CAMP PENDLETON--A newlywed Marine couple have surrendered to authorities two weeks after their disappearance alarmed relatives, who said they initially suspected foul play.
Lance Cpl. Margaret McMahon-Reid, 20, and Pfc. George Reid II, 22, turned themselves in after being placed on “unauthorized absence” status for failing to report for duty, said Mike Alvarez, spokesman for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. Alvarez said the couple were scheduled to be returned to Camp Pendleton yesterday.
Details about where and when the couple surrendered were not immediately available.
“At this point, it is too early to comment on any disciplinary actions which may be taken by their respective commands,” Alvarez said.
The couple went missing from their Escondido apartment March 31. Relatives initially told police they suspected foul play., but police and military investigators dropped the case, saying it appeared the couple simply packed up and left.
McMahon-Reid worked at Camp Pendleton, and her husband worked at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station.
