Just catching up on this case, so sad. At least it sounds like they may catch her killer quite soon, poor baby girl. A few things strike me as odd. I'm surprised that they would take the other children within a matter of days. This makes it seems like there are historical instances which...

The first thin I do when I come is lock the door as well, although I don't have a door jam so who knows how often she bothered to use it. One other possibility is of course that he let himself in with his copy of the key while she was out for a run. Lock the door again once inside and wait for...

Hi all. I've been reading along but haven't had the time to post! Everyone's thoughts and knowledge have been really impressive and interesting though, just wanted to say I've enjoyed reading. One thing that struck me as odd when I was reading Macon.com the other day was that LG had a door...

I'm curious about cadaver dogs and what they detect. I understand they detect human remains but how sensitive is this? For example if I have a heart attack and die of natural causes, I assume this would be detected? What if I slip into a coma from drinking too much and am just unresponsive but...

I think it's very possible JR is lying about the end of Laurens night, although I also think it's equally possible he's being completely honest. I don't know that a random abduction would be more likely to happen at 430 AM as opposed to 3 AM though? They both seem equally after hours time to be...

I agree with you on this. While an accidental OD is possible, anything is possible!, I've never found it to be a very likely scenario of what happened that night. Among other things, the logistics just don't make sense. These kids may indeed do drugs and be self absorbed jerks but they are far...

I agree it seems a little early to file a police report on Lauren. Thinking back to my own college days, 5 yeas ago, there were so many times when we went out and everyone got drunk and split up and you didn't connect with them until late the following afternoon. I can see starting to become...

I have always found this weird too. If I saw a wallet on the ground I would do one of two things. 1) ignore it and keep on walking. 2) pick it up bring it home and try to contact the owner via the name on the credit card or a lost and found. Moving them a railing seems so weird. Like when people...

I'm curious as to everyone's opinions on JR... My opinion on him has always been that he is not directly involved but he is covering for something/someone and knows a lot more than he is letting on. This is based on nothing other than my opinion, mind you. I think LS was in and out of his...

Has anyone read the book "The Secret"? It's always been one of my favorite books, and it's basically about a group of close knit college friends, one dies of alchohol related circumstances and they try to keep it a secret while it eats away at them in different ways. All the talk of LS potential...

I really have no opinion because I think there are so very many possibilities, but one thing that just does not sit right with me about it being an accident involving her friends is that nothing has been found. Sorry to be morbid, but I find it surprising that if something unexpected happened...

Regarding LS drinking/drug/mental state, I think it is so hard to say without having known her or having been there what state she was is at the time of her disapearance, even taking into account possible witnesses. Mixing coke/xanax/alcohol is kind of odd, as it's a lot of different highs at...

I agree with you that it could really be anyone at this point. I had a situation my first year out of undergrad where a new neighbor in my apt building followed me everywhere (without my knowledge of course) and one night when I was walking from a friends apt back to my own (at about 230 AM) he...

Very interesting that the truck was ruled out. I agree this puts a lot of pressure back onto JW/JR. I have always thought it is quite a coincidence that the same night LS ends up missing is the night she brings a boy, not her boyfriend, back to her apt. I find it hard to imagine JW was not made...

Hi all, I've only been following this case for the last day or so but have read through all your posts. I feel so bad for Lauren's family. Just thought I'd chime in with my 2 cents. First, having grown up similiar and had a similiar college life to Lauren, nothing about her night really...
