One of my favorite true-crime podcasts, True Crime Garage, has a two-part episode up on Lauren's case: Part One (an hour): http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/true-crime-garage/e/49509708?autoplay=true Part Two (an hour): http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/true-crime-garage/e/49518885?autoplay=true

Mostly, I suppose, I just came around to thinking that it's simpler if Lauren was taken out of the area from 5N, rather than her walking back down to T&C, where there are cameras. But I could be wrong. The bar-manager witness certainly seemed sincere and perceptive. In any case, I'm looking at...

It was before Hannah was killed, but it actually wasn't at Yogi's. And she didn't mention anything about quitting and being rehired, or the circumstances under which she left her bar-manager job. In any case, these days I tend to believe that the police were right, and that the bar-manager...

Just checking in. It's good to see Ixchel13 and other familiar names are still around. I've been too busy all year, to keep up on the thread. But I do not believe Daniel Messel is involved in the Spierer case. As I say, I haven't been keeping up with the thread, but have people commented on the...

It's funny, I hadn't been keeping up with this forum in a while, and just happened to check it today, to see myself mentioned. Ixchel13, you did a good job of summing up my understanding: I'm under the impression that at 2:48 am (I don't remember where I got the exact times) Lauren and CR...

A thought to start your Labor Day Weekend with: I was just thinking about the floor plan at 5N. Which can be seen here: http://currydevelopment.com/5north/floorplans_unit297_3f.html. (You have to re-select the apartment, to look at, every time you pick a different floor. Or else it keeps...

A few things from the most-recent decision's rundown of the events that night strike me as interesting: [Names changed to initials by me:] "On June 2, 2011, JR, a student at Indiana University, threw a party at his apartment. Among his guests were fellow students Lauren Spierer, CR, and MB...

If I'm reading this data correctly http://waterdata.usgs.gov/in/nwis/current/?type=flow then the Ohio River, around Evansville, would be the best place to dispose of a body, based on depth of water.

Having previously heard the rumor that Lauren's body ending up in a river, combined with the report of the police searching Indian Creek, combined with my suspicion that some of those involved are from Indy, has all previously made me suspect that Lauren may have been put somewhere in the White...

I'm looking at my xeroxes of the version that appeared in the physical paper, and it looks like both Ellettsville sketches are included, in a timeline that runs along side of the article, that might not be in the version you saw. The two Ellettsville sketches actually look like two different...

The whole tone of the Herald Times article is like they're uncovering some total hoax, whereas they're only really uncovering some pretty subtle mistakes (mistakes, I would add, that don't apply to Websleuths). The incident with the attempted kidnapping in Bowling Green, Kentucky happened on...

The steps I've always focused on are on the south side of the arcade. They're not covered by a camera.

Looking at Lauren's file at NamUs, I notice the Clothing and Accessories subsection. I feel like relatives or other insiders must have contributed to this, as I've never seen such a detailed description of her clothing and jewelry, at the time of her disappearance. I'm specifically interested...

I find the location mentioned in this anonymous tip to be meaningful. My hunch about this case at this point is that Lauren was a casualty of a drug market connecting Indianapolis and Bloomington. Indianapolis has plenty of criminals; and Bloomington has plenty of young, rich cocaine users...

I have a question for the group about the white truck: when I first saw the famous profile of the white truck, I thought it had one of those black tarp covers over the bed, that was reflecting light, and whatever was in the back was peaking out from under it. But now when I look again, I think...
