It's such a scary thought, as is the thought of an accomplice with no real ties to LS per se, i.e., someone performing a service for financial gain or out of misplaced loyalty, etc. And there are ways to get in and out of Bloomington undetected, correct? Or, conversely, might there have been other potential "white trucks" that fell under the radar?
But let's say she was buried within Bloomington, as Ashley speculated. Could a "construction accomplice" accomplish that by arriving early to a construction site and be undetected? Earth-moving equipment is noisy and wouldn't be used in the early hours. Plus, I'm sure LE checked this type of thing out. ???
If either of the above scenarios happened, finding the body would be pretty unlikely, I suppose. But it could be useful for LE to track who had access to such an accomplice.
But IMO, the best bet for discovery here is that someone develops either loose lips or a conscience.
One of ZO's roommates was a construction worker, BB.
JR could be blackmailed into his story. For instance, if he sold drugs to just anyone, it would be his word against that person. But, if he sold to an informant, different story.
Suppose Lauren did leave, and then someone who was called by JR found her,
and then an overdose ensued.
If the last calls for help with Lauren from JR's apt were texts, then no need for return text. See, we have been told there were CALLS made and no ANSWER.
If someone had Lauren's phone, they possibly received a text to the phone from Lauren or JR saying Lauren needs her phone and a ride home. Since everything occurred within a few blocks that night, suppose this person with Lauren's phone heads up towards JR's and encounters Lauren.
From that point, anything could have happened. But, if something bad happened, that person could not be caught with Lauren's phone, or as being the last person to see Lauren, as it stands at that point, it would be JR,
not him.
IFsomeone had her phone, received the last text, this person would look super guilty if they turned up with Lauren's phone
after she was missing, indicating they received the last text.
And IMO, this is something that LE or the Spierers' wouldn't want anyone to know. If the text came from JR's phone, then it's true that Lauren last used
her phone at SW.
I realize that the 5N POIs are the favorites. What doesn't seem logical is that
some posters, maybe most posters, don't want to even suppose someone else did it.
IOW, if they didn't do it, who could have? Most posters just won't fathom that she could have left JR's. But, she might have. If she did, someone else did it.
And, having Lauren's phone means it could even be someone from Kilroy's got that text.
Having Lauren's phone could mean someone found it at Kilroy's and passed it to someone else. Even right after she left it. That someone else could have passed it to someone else.
It could have been passed to ZO who just had the altercation and there are rumors Lauren argued with someone outside.
It could have been passed to JW who would have something to be mad at, but would be the person who would go after Lauren or the people she was
with, who would head in that direction.
But most of all, this last person to get the text would know to put the phone back at Kilroy's.
Not very many people like the phone theory but first they told us that the last call was to the guy she had been watching the game with at SW.
Then, someone, maybe not JR but someone came on here and wouldn't be verified but wanted us to know that her phone was texted last. So, we
could suggest that for some reason, she/JR thought this guy might have her phone.
Just because the employee at Kilroy's found the phone the next day does not mean it stayed there all night.
Really, there are 3 choices:
1)5N guys, either all or JR or guests, disposed of Lauren's body.
2)Lauren left, and was abducted by bad person who was either trolling or found her unexpectedly walking alone.
3) Lauren left JRs and took up with someone from the evening's events,
someone she knew very well or was acquainted with and then something
bad happened to her.
Still waiting to find out from BTown why he/she thinks someone on Walnut
near Kilroy's would warrant mentioning. I mean it's like saying," no, Lauren wasn't seen on video walking home, but a woman 4 blocks away was walking down the street." I'm sure that at that time, on all of the streets around there, various people were walking to their cars.
and, BTown brought that up at the beginning, but also again this year. Why?
respectfully, and TIA. I realize that AbbeyR commented on that, but I would like BTown to answer that, please.
