Listening to the press conference now. Per Lt. Parker:
Lauren went to Kilroy's with friends on Thursday night.
2:30-2:40 she and "one of her buddies", a (male) friend go to Smallwood. Video surveillance shows they entered the building but did not go into her apartment. Video shows they left the building after a little while.
The two walked to the buddy's apartment at the corner of 11th and Morton. They were in there a little while, and then she went into another buddy's apartment a few doors down in the same building. Around 4:30 am she said she was ready to go to her own apartment. The young man watched her walk to 11th and College, and she hasn't been seen since.

Lt. Parker only mentions two friends with Lauren after she left Kilroy's. The first young man who walked with her to Smallwood and whose apartment she went to first; and the second guy whose apartment she left at 4:30 am. He didn't say anything about meeting up with other friends at Morton and 11th.
He also says video showed her and the first friend enter Smallwood and then leave Smallwood. So, the cameras were working. I'm still puzzled about the battering rams, but I can only surmise that Smallwood was taking their time about responding, and due to the urgency of the situation, LE didn't have time to wait around. Good for LE!
ETA: LE might not have seen videos from all of the cameras on the property.
