Okay guys, I sent in the news tip! I'll let you all know if it gets posted as a featured story.

"Desi" is a term that refers to a person of South Asian origin, primarily from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. It comes from a Sanskrit word that means "homeland". NRI means "non-resident Indian". It is a term that applies to those of Indian origin that live in other...

I have, Lovejac. Who runs it?

The silence on this case has been absolutely deafening. I have been trying to gather information on this case since I joined the site, and the media reports are limited to the few articles that have already been posted, plus one dude's blog detailing just how much animosity there was between...

Spent the last four hours catching up on the board's activity on this case. Whew, you all move fast! I am troubled by what's been speculated about LS perhaps being on her way to JW's (who is not a Smallwood res.) after being at JR's. It's not unusual for college girls to end up at their...

omg, this is so sad! I'll be on the lookout.

Campus blue lights are an emergency telephone system. Basically they're a giant pole with a big red button that if pressed, places a call directly to 911 and light a blue light at the top. They often look like this: In an emergency situation they can be used to report suspicious activity...

My uni had white trucks like those as facilities vehicles during construction. Usually not out early in the morning unless to move cones and barrels to new locations that couldn't be crossed. Do day laborers usually hang out in downtown areas? I usually see them here by the highway.

Btown! Bumping my own stuff:

People with a lot of keys: -Custodial staff/maids -People who open up establishments (restaurants, stores, etc.) -Administrative deans for science departments -Emergency and biohazard crew for science departments -Armored vehicle personnel/people who work at banks

:banghead: All I wanted to know when I made my post is if anyone thought that the student who posted that on the IU website was involved. And now it's derailing this entire thread. I said I wasn't going to continue commenting about the issue, so here, for the last time, I'm going to illustrate...

I think TG removed the post, so...

Oh, just recalled--was it here or elsewhere that mentioned scanner activity being the source of the tip?

Maybe it's the white van guys phoning it in?

Let me be clearer: no Latino, Asian, or black person's case has ever received this much attention. Not that this case doesn't deserve attention, but the Tamekas and Priyas of this world deserve just as many people on the lookout for them. I'm not looking to start a fight here, so I'll try to...

Huh? :waitasec: It's pretty much a given that the poorer, less attractive, and less white you are, the less likely your case is to get media attention. I can't think of a single minority kidnapping that's had attention on the scale of the Natalee Holloway mystery. It's sad to see, but I'm not...

I was searching "missing white woman syndrome" and this popped up on the second page of googlehits: mypage.iu.edu/~chrmatth/missingpersonspaper.doc No author, no date, no bibliography. From one of those "mypages" that apparently all IU students have to make (one of the previous threads had...

Cool. I hate registering just for reading something --shakes fist at NYTimes--

Am I allowed to link? http://www.lohud.com/article/20110611/NEWS02/106110346/Lauren-Spierer-disappearance-DNA-taken-from-Rossman-his-roommate?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|News His name is spelled incorrectly. Ajay is usually misconstrued by non Indians as "AJ".

Sure do. http://www.psychiccrimefighter.com/katel830/blog/please-read/#comment Very interesting that this poster would say some kind of work uniform a week before the photos of the truck were released and most of us assumed a construction/work truck. I've been reading through the forum...
