LAUREN SPIERER'S FOLKS TWEET: 'IT WILL HAUNT YOU'

MISSING Indiana University co-ed Lauren Spierer's family have tweeted a chilling message to her kidnapper: "Everywhere you go, for the rest of your life, it will follow you. In your happiest moments, it will haunt you. Do the right thing. 800-CRIME-TV." The pretty blonde from posh Westchester, New
York vanished off the streets in Bloomington on June 3 after a heavy night of partying. Video has revealed that she was wrecked and could barely stand up. A pal said HE was wrecked and she helped him home. Lauren's parents and cops are frustrated that her friends are not being exactly forthcoming about her movements on June 3. Extensive searches have failed to turn up any indication of what may have happened. However, detectives are looking at links between her disappearance and the attempted strangulation of another woman near where the 20-year-old lived.

LAUREN SPIERER'S MOM MAKES HEARTBREAKING PLEA

ON JUNE 3, pretty blonde New York co-ed Lauren Spierer, 20, disappeared after a night of heavy partying in Bloomington, Indiana where she attended university. She has not been seen since and numerous searches have turned up little evidence. Her parents have been on the ground since Day 1. Here is her mom Charlene's open letter:
July 21, 2011
Our daughter, Lauren, disappeared on June 3, 2011. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared. I truly hope as a parent, you never get that phone call. The feeling is indescribable. Weeks later, the feeling is the same. It's as if our lives before June 3rd never happened. We are suspended in time. I cannot imagine doing anything other than searching for Lauren until the time we find her and can take her home with us. Some days are paralyzing. As you wake every morning, the nightmare begins again. You cannot give in. You cannot give up hope. Every day you think this could be the day and every day I believe that with all my heart.
Lauren is so much more than a face on a poster. She is Rebecca's sister. She has grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. She is our daughter. Lauren has friends she adores. Friends she would go the extra mile for. Everyday something reminds me of her. It might be something as small as seeing a sunflower, hearing a song or noticing something I'd love to tell Lauren about. My heart is breaking.
Over the last several weeks, I've learned a new language no one should ever have to learn. I now know what things like PLS, POI, recon, ATV and vetting all mean. The word "transition" is another way of letting me know a change is about to happen that I might not be happy about. I've learned to speak while looking into a camera instead of a person's eyes. I've learned that social media is a way to reach a great deal of people in a very short time. I constantly read blogs, check Twitter and Facebook. I've learned what it takes to update a website with the latest information about my dear sweet girl. I've learned how to suppress my pain. I've learned how to keep thoughts of Lauren before June 3 at bay because when they come to the surface it is almost too painful to endure. I've learned that you never run out of tears. They are always there, always on the surface, a constant reminder of the ache in my heart. I've learned that the world is comprised of many wonderful, kind people. Just waiting to help Rob, Rebecca and me in any way they can.
But outside all that goodness, I've learned there lurks an evil, a cruel, heartless element that cares more about themselves than the life of my daughter. That this element of humanity exists in the world is beyond comprehension. Your silence is deafening. Your lack of compassion is irreprehensible. Your lack of respect for another human being which allows you to go day, by day, watching is unimaginable. Everyone is put on this earth for a purpose. Everyone has a defining moment. In the blink of an eye Lauren disappeared. Do not let this be your defining moment. You have no idea what you have taken from us.
My promise to you, we will not rest until we find Lauren. What are you waiting for? You can still do the right thing.
Find Lauren…PO Box 1226…Bloomington, IN 47402-1226.
Lauren, I love you with my heart and soul. We will never give up.
Ever strong, ever determined, ever hopeful,
Charlene Spierer

VIDEO SHOCK: LAUREN SPIERER TOO WRECKED TO WALK

MISSING Indiana University co-ed Lauren Spierer was so wrecked the night she disappeared that she stumbled, fell and had to be helped to her feet by a male friend who led her out of the building, new video evidence reveals.
The shocking new revelations in the Westchester Journal-News contradicts the statements made by pal Corey Rossman's lawyer. In the mouthpiece's world, it was Lauren who helped Corey after he got a shot in the mouth and had suffered memory loss. That was June 3.
A source who has seen the video told the newspaper: "As for this idea that she was Florence Nightingale and taking him back because she was concerned, she wasn't in any condition to take care of herself, let
alone another human being. She couldn't even stand up on her own. I have difficulty with this individual (Rossman) saying he can't remember anything when he's the guy who picked her up and took her out of the building."
Lauren of Westchester County, NY, disappeared off the streets of Bloomington, Indiana in the early hours of June 3 after a night of heavy-duty partying. Cops believe her friends know more than they're letting on. They believe the pretty blonde is the victim of foul play. MORE ON LAUREN SPIERER CASE

BODY IN CREEK LIKELY ISN'T LAUREN SPIERER: CORONER

IS IT HER

UPDATE: The woman's body found in an Indiana creek Sunday probably isn't missing blonde co-ed Lauren Spierer, the Marion County Coroner said today. The badly decomposed body was taller than the 5-foot-nothing Spierer, who has been missing for a month.
Indianapolis police have been in contact with cops from Bloomington and Noblesville, Ind., who are investigating the June 13 disappearance of 74-year-old Dorothy Heard.
 **************************************************************
EARLIER: THE TRAGIC case of missing student Lauren Spierer may be solved within days if the decomposing remains of a female body turn out to be her. Cops refused to speculate on how long they had been there but an autopsy soon,
to determine whether it is the 20-year-old student who last seen by friends leaving a Bloomington, IN sports bar on June 2. Despite thousands of tips, a huge search by volunteers on "Find Lauren Day" and the surveillance video,  which they later ruled out of a white pickup truck, they had no leads until now.      
A police insider said: "There are mixed feelings surrounding this,
because obviously we still want  to find Lauren alive and if this is not her then it will open up a whole new set of questions.
"If it is her, then it will obviously be very upsetting for a lot of people who have worked long and hard to bring her home safely."
Charlene Spierer described her daughter as a sweet, bubbly girl.

"Perhaps it was a terrible accident that happened and we can deal with that," Charlene Spierer said in late June. "What we can't deal with is what we don't know. So information is the most valuable thing we need right now."

HOLLY BOBO, LAUREN SPIERER: CHILLING SIMILARITIES

TWO STUDENTS. Two blondes. Both petite. Both 20-years-old. Two young women in the prime of their lives. Two victims? The disappearance of Indiana University student Lauren Spierer on June 3 has chilling similarities to the mysterious April kidnapping of Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo. They look eerily the same and it is raising frightening questions.
Lauren's mom Charlene said: "I can't even tell you what it's like to get that phone call that your daughter is missing." Holly's mom
Karen adds: "I think of her. I love her."
Despite intense efforts in Tennessee and Indiana for the recovery of both young women, cops appear to have hit brick walls despite hundreds of man hours and  hundreds of volunteer searchers. There has been no arrest in either case, although persons of interest have been questioned.
The similarities between the two are so great that many have mistaken the photo of Bobo for Spierer and vice versa. More frightening: it's not just these two women, other students missing around the country fit the same description.
Information leading to the discovery of Spierer, the daughter of a prominent New York family, could bring a $100,000 reward. Bobo's cousin is country singer Whitney Duncan. There is an $85,000 reward offered in her case.

LAUREN SPIERER PAL NOT TALKING TO DETECTIVES

SHHH. That's the tact being taken by a "person of interest" in the sensational Lauren Spierer missing person case. Jason 'Jay' Rosenbaum who told cops he last saw the pretty blonde walking alone and barefoot to her Bloomington, Indiana apartment on June 3 has now clammed up.
He is the last person known to have seen the 20-year-old co-ed from New York, who had spent the evening partying hard with pals. And there has also been some suggestion the petite fashion merchandising student may have been hammering cocaine, OD'd and panicked pals hid her body.
A police source said:"It's very disappointing we have this life and death investigation and this guy isn't saying a thing."
Rosenbaum, 21, along with Lauren's boyfreind. Jesse Wolff, are
described by detectives as "persons of interest." Rosenbaum has already hired a high-powered defence attorney and left Bloomington.

But his lawyer scoffed that he wasn't cooperating: "He has provided full statements to the police and passed a polygraph that has also been provided to the authorities. Mr. Rosenbaum hopes for nothing less than Lauren to be found and to be safe."
Lauren's mom , Charlene Spierer, sobbed last week the family is frustrated and angry by the lack of help from the young woman's friends.
 She said: "What I can tell you is that I am extremely disappointed by the fact that only one of Lauren's friends have called the Bloomington Police Department with any information."

His mouthpiece says Corey Rossman got punched in the face after the twosome returned to Lauren's apartment complex.Carl Salzmann said: "At Smallwood, someone confronted them. He got punched in the face. He has no memory of that, or of the 15 minutes leading to that moment. The first memory he has is the next morning when he wakes up in his bed."
