So not any friend or boyfriend. Just a random creeper? I never followed this case.closely, but this seem very different than what most people thought, right? I just hope if they accuse him it is with good evidence. I would hate for the actual guilty person to get away with it

Thank you. Great explanationIt still could be those people.
But to your point... There was a rather quick rush to judgment that took place pointing the finger at 5N. Not so much from law enforcement, but law enforcement didn't do much to change that either.
The parents didn't help matters much either, making direct accusations and veiled accusations, and ultimately filing a lawsuit that was a fishing expedition that never got off the ground. That all more or less took the media and public in the direction of 5N. The idea of a random perp, or the boyfriend, tended to get a pass in the media and public's eye.
Statistically, a random perp is low, but now we know within a year of this event, there was actually a random perp operating in the general area LS disappeared from. One with a history of violence, and ultimately a convicted murderer. So now he definitely has put himself on the radar.
But once again, LE is tight-lipped. We know there's been a jailhouse snitch that implicated Messel in the LS case. We don't know how well investigated that was and what came of those investigations. We don't know if Messel had an alibi for the night LS disappeared or not.
At this point, if a case was ever brought against anyone other than Messel in the LS case, the prosecutor is going to need something airtight, or at best a complete and total alibi for Messel showing he could not have done it. Otherwise, Messel is reasonable doubt (for anyone else who'd be charged with the crime).
I don't think akh's analysis would be complete without pointing to the actions of the last people seen with Lauren to explain why they drew the most attention as POI. Given all that has come out, I think there's a good chance that DM is responsible for her disappearance, but the person who dragged her home semi-conscious and the people who sent her off stumbling into the night barefoot without a phone no doubt bear some of the responsibility even if that's the case. I can't help but wonder, had the guys at 5N been more open and cooperative, would the investigation have led elsewhere? When you refuse to answer questions because you are obviously covering for something, no doubt people are going to focus on getting those answers and figuring out what it is that is being covered up that would outweigh finding a missing girl.
Everyone lies. Murderers lie because they have to; witnesses and other participants lie because they think they have to; everyone else lies for the sheer joy of it, and to uphold a general principle that under no circumstances do you provide accurate information to a cop.
She was in her own apartment building, but CR got in a fight with some guys and then carried Lauren out of the building. He could have taken her to her apartment -- That's what the guys were trying to get him to do. Or he could have left her there in her building at least, instead of dragging her back to 5N.
Though LE didn't reveal the identity of the second call it was to someone they were with earlier in the night. I think it's highly unlikely that DM was an acquaintance of any of these students.

I also remember the time someone claiming to be JR posted here about believing Lauren had been 'abducted' (Deleted because it wasn't clear whether it was JR or someone trolling) and the statement from JR, more than a year or so after her disappearance that he thought he saw someone lurking in the shadows. It seems more sinister now, doesn't it....
Not so sure about that. Do you have a source to confirm? Seems to me like they were blocked from entering her apartment and that was what the fight was about. JW's buddies weren't gonna let LS take a guy home with her....
