I welcome anyone's opinion on this as very little has been released to the public in this case by LE, but I am about 99% sure that this wasn't a random abduction senario. It's too improbable to lean in that direction for me. I mean were talking a short distance that Lauren would have had to walk in either direction from leaving JR's/MB,CR's before she would have been captured by surveilance video, or walked past a business. Bloomington isn't exactly a major metro area, with a population of around 80,000 people, 138,000 in all of monroe county. As someone mentioned before, there have only been a few random abduction cases in Bloomington's history, so it's not like it's a hot bed for this type of activity in the 1st place.
To paraphrase Conan-Doyle: "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however likely and probable, has a good shot at being the truth".
I've never wavered much from my belief that whatever happened with Lauren Spierer, jay rosenbaum has knowledge of and is to some extent culpable for it.
I agree that there are too many cameras and perhaps casual eyeballs for anyone to have conducted a public abduction of Lauren, even at that late hour. One of the few/the only? vehicles (the white pickup) bumming around that neighborhood at 4:30 AM was captured vividly on camera. To propose an adbuctor somehow skirted all the video surveillance on the way in and on the way out--as well as during the actual abduction?---stretches credulity.
Originally the focus seemed to be on "upstream" POI (i.e., folks who encountered Lauren on her way to JR's townhome post-Kilroy's).
But what about "downstream" potential POI's? That is, individuals whom JR contacted 4:00 AM and after, and potentially in reponse to some sort of episode involving Lauren.
I seem to recall mention of JR making phone calls to his landlord (and fellow IU and fraternity brother) around the time of the 4:15 AM phone call.
Not sure if that is true or not, but provided the police acted quickly enough, they should have pulled and preserved JR's and any POI's cell phone records.
Some of the more recent revelations and discussion has suggested to me that there are "downstream" participants who are more important than MB and CR. That is, JR reached out for help dealing with the LS situation that morning and rec'd some sort of positive response to that plea for help.
