I've never seen so much to-do over ten minutes. OK it was a mistake lets get on with it......
I have not followed this case closely. But isn't it possible/ probably more likely that someone totally unknown by Lauren - most likely a sex offender- picked Lauren up as she walked alone from the last boy's apartment? I'm thinking her life ended similarly to Hannah Graham's and Mickey Shunicks and the young lady's that left the Metallica concert alone after she was separated from her friends. I'm thinking she was assaulted then murdered and that her friends really don't know anything. Their stories might be all over the place due to their intoxication. It's hard to remember times and certain events about a night spent in such a manner as theirs. Drugs and drinking make time pass quickly and thoughts are incoherent and don't make sense. I wouldn't expect much that night to make sense as it seems they were drunk and on drugs walking aimlessly from place to place.
Again, I haven't followed closely. Just jumping in here, so please forgive me if I'm totally off base.
I'm assuming they've checked into sex offenders in the area??
Yes, a team of U.S Marshals came to Bloomington and checked out all the registered sex offenders in the area. Here is a link to an early article that mentions that part of the investigation. http://abcnews.go.com/US/lauren-spierer-update-mothers-plea-press-conferences/story?id=13824266

I have followed Lauren's case from the beginning and this is exactly what I think happened. The dogs followed her scent into the parking lot near the apt and then lost it. LE was checking vehicles in the area at that time. I think she in the wrong place at the wrong time and was picked up by someone who did her harm.

Gosh I wish girls wouldn't walk alone. I'm not faulting her. We were all young and thought we were invincible once. Also, you are more likely to walk alone when intoxicated- which it sounds like she was. But many of these girls would still be with us today if they wouldn't have walked alone
Again, NOT blaming the victim- just a reminder to preach preach preach to your daughters. Preach to your sons too- to not let their female friends walk alone. I know an intoxicated woman can be hard to control, but it's still something to preach.
Considering how many cases involve people disappearing or dying due to actions by friends/family, I'm not sure if people are safer being with people they know. It might be 50/50. Many cases are so subtle that it can't be proven if it was a friend or a stranger who caused someone to die or disappear. Lauren's case is just like that it seems to me.

Was this talked about in any news article or police statement? I've searched around a bit but can't find anything. I've never seen that detail discussed before in this case.

Thank you. I figured they had checked them all, but just wanted to be sure. Still though there could be one that isn't yet registered- like Jesse Lee Matthews. Raping and murdering, but not yet caught. Well, Jesse is caught now, but you know what I mean.
Yes, I do. When DM was arrested in the death of Hannah Wilson, there was speculation that he might have been involved in the disappearance of LS. BPD investigated, but, as I recall, could not find evidence of his involvement.
There were statements made that there was no link between DM and Lauren's case, including by the private investigators.

And the 1977 disappearance of Margaret Ann Hayes, who was out late in Bloomington, o bought cigarettes four blocks from her home, then vanished, has never been solved. http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/h/hayes_margaret.html
Nope, not putting facts into the case. LE made a statement in June that there was no known link between DM and the Spierer case. The former FBI agent/ ABC guy said the same thing.
Obviously there hasn't been a break there, since there has been no more news. That doesn't prohibit there being something in the future, but he has not been named a person of interest in this case.
