<Three IU women have either disappeared or died since 2000, the latest being Hannah Wilson. Is it a safety concern or an anomaly?
There's a road just outside of Bloomington where Jill Behrman took her last bike ride and, in Morgan County, a swampy thicket where her remains were found nearly three years later.
There's a path through Downtown Bloomington with several noteworthy points — a bar, an upscale apartment building, a row of townhouses — that were Lauren Spierer's last-known stops. The final one was a dark corner she turned before walking out of sight forever.
And now there's the hotel in Bloomington where Hannah Wilson partied with friends the night she died, the house where a cab dropped her off one last time. And just off a narrow country lane in Brown County the place where her body was found. Memorials mark the spot now. Flowers and trinkets. A poem. A ceramic angel.
In and around Bloomington, there's a grim and growing list of such landmarks, places where a young woman — a student at Indiana University — was last seen, where she disappeared, where she died or where her body was discovered. They are the locations for a series of tragedies that sometimes fade in the collective memory but never quite disappear.
What to make of the grisly array is difficult to say, but together they raise some important questions.
Does IU — and by extension, Bloomington — have a problem with young women falling prey to murdering opportunists?>
