DRs car might be a possibility.
Was it searched by LE? with Cadaver dogs?

Not following you. Do you mean because the skull was found and not a body?
After one year of being under water I would think it could easily separate.
Unfortunately, there seems to be other missing people in this part of Indiana. Being 50 miles away, would mean about 1 hr drive (would be a bad idea to speed with a body in the vehicle) from 5N.
Would be curious to know if chemical clues could still be present in the skull after being in water for 1 year.
Are divers looking for the rest? If more bones are nearby then head could have separated naturally. But if it's just a skull it does leave the possibility that parts were scattered.
The experts can determine certain things about a skull visually, if it is intact, so I think they will know some info sooner, whether they release it or not.
I don't really feel this is Lauren, but who knows.
I have been following this closely and I have my doubts this is Lauren. White River is the dumping ground in Indianapolis, It is dirty and polluted beyond belief. About once a month a body turns up in White River, usually it is connected with drugs or the shady side of life. Around here we usually never hear much about the latest body, only a name, then it is forgotten. For the family's sake I hope something happens soon so they can get closure but this skull probably belongs to someone who ran on the wrong side of the law. I believe some hiker out for a Sunday hike will run across Lauren's body someday.
I doubt it's LS as well. And if it is ... it most likely sends the case into random abduction or DD territory, which seems a stretch. But sometimes cases do take odd twists and turns, so we wait and see.
Aren't some of the POI's or at least some of the boys involved in the Smallwood altercation from Indianapolis?
Have not certain POI's been sighted in the Indianapolis area on occasion since LS's disappearance?
How would finding LS in Indianapolis make this more likely a random abduction?
Maybe the skull found is her...then maybe someone close to her was very clever in choosing that spot for a dump sight? Makes it seem random...to some.
I searched the very spot where that skull was found hoping to find jewelry or some other sign that LS had been there...and the whole time with conviction that this was not a random abduction.
You've posted this same thing twice now...that this find, if indeed is LS, would make this more likely a random abduction.
Please explain how.

Do you see a yellow yield symbol with an exclamation mark inside of it in the upper left of my previous post? What does it mean?
This may be an incorrect assumption, but I figure the skull didn't separate from the rest of the body naturally, which suggests a perp had the times/means to pull that off w/o leaving evidence (or major help). To me, it suggests a sexual predator who hates women ... and possibly a repeat offender. Or some type of lesson/revenge crime (which wouldn't be random but doesn't fit LS, IMO).
I get what you're saying about Indy, though. Perhaps a POI with connections could have had major help pulling this off. As someone once posted about DB possibly taking LS' body to MI, why would a POI with Indy ties take LS to his town? Unless, as you mention, there was the intent of making it seem like something it's not.
IDK ... in the other case I follow (OCCK), LE has been pursuing a blue Gremlin for years and years ... and now new DNA evidence links to a 1966 Bonneville. The crimes in that case, I'm starting to believe, were a group effort ... maybe this, too?
Is there something about that specific spot?
Are you saying you are generally convinced it is not random? Or that while you were there at that spot you were?
Assuming this dog ever existed, how do you know who its handler was? Sometimes family invites dogs who are not police dogs. There was no information provided in the rumor of who this dog belonged to.
And I really don't know what answer "so many wanted to believe" is? What do you mean by that at all?
There was a bloodhound brought in. They worked when there was no media, so that is probably why most do not know of it.It was no secret. Bloodhounds are scent specific, and they will follow the freshest trail of the scent of that one person that the handler gives. If a person is put into a vehicle, there will be a scent trail, a properly trained handler knows how to work this, and will take the dog in both directions, a couple hundred yards, where the scent would have dispersed from the vehicle, and get a car trail and direction of travel. If a deceased body was put into the vehicle, it then becomes a different scent, and a bloodhound will not follow that. To the bloodhound, the trail (of live scent) ends there, and they will stop. A well trained handler will know how to recognize this change in behavior. A bloodhound's testimony is admissible in a court of law, if this bloodhound took them up to a suspects house, this would be enough for a search warrant, and they would have their man if that were true.
Based on your knowledge of bloodhounds, would it be safe to say that LE have a good idea if any of the POI are involved?There was a bloodhound brought in.

Wow, thank you. You sound like you know this first hand. Am I right about that? I am going to add this link but it only confirms exactly what you say.

Do you know what the time frame was on this. 3 days 6 days 15 days?
Based on what information is out there. Where do you think the dogs lost her live scent? And why would the PI say he had no idea if she was abducted or hidden by her friends?
