Update: Our teams uncovered some “tips” that may require us to go back again Thursday. I need time to think about the right course of action. I will think about this overnight. Thank you to those ppl who gave me those tips. I have given them to the police to work on them to determine their credibility. I don’t wish to share them at this time as this is all hearsay info but “possibly” critical and request you do not either until it’s the right time to do so. This is at the request of the family. Thank you for your understanding. I post this because two days is not a lot if time to create a new event so I may need help again. I need to give a heads up now in case I need last minute help. I need time to get advice from law enforcement.
Thank you all for coming to Cassie (Lauren’s sister) and I’s search event. We had enough ppl to be able to cover our entire grid and hand out over 700 flyers. We got the community all talking and looking. My team didn’t uncover any evidence but there were many other teams who may have submitted tips. Especially want to thank the biker group that showed up and shared Lauren’s info with all 40+ chapters!! I will update you if I hear any news.

Community members search for missing Cape Coral woman
Community members gathered to search for Lauren last night.
The Southwest Florida Community came together at Four Freedoms Park looking for answers.
Southwest Florida Helping Hands coordinated the search efforts, dividing people to search several surrounding locations where Dumolo was last seen.
“Its been two weeks, people are forgetting already and we want to keep her picture in their face, ” said Rena Anders.
They knocked on doors, posted flyers, and searched for any clues to bring Lauren home.
The community is now desperate for answers.
“Something will trigger a memory, even it’s small that little piece of information is just part of the puzzle,” said Langevian.

That group is amazing isn’t it? Think how many missing and lost could be found if we had a group like this in every community. If I could be there to help I would but my health won’t allow it. I’m 90 minutes north so I am familiar with SWFL. Thank you for being so willing to help this family.
Lauren has lived in a few places in the West Palm Beach area. Looks like some history of moving back and forth between there and Cape Coral over the years. Maybe her dad went to ask around over there.
Rena Sue's post was truly amazing. She is a boots on the ground hero IMO and I don't even know her.

Should I add the Helping Hands FB posts and links to this or is that not allowed? If you can’t access them let me know. I’m happy to help.
My understanding is that the victim's FB, family's official FB and MSM FB's are allowed. I'm not sure about ancillary organizations - I will check out the TOS on SM posts. Thanks for the assist.

About Laurens disappearance:https://www.capecops.com/tips
Lauren Brittney Dumolo was last seen on June 19th, 2020, and she was reported missing on June 21st. Fox 4 spoke to the woman’s father Paul Dumolo desperate for answers now urging the public to help bring his daughter home. “I love her very much, I want her safe I want her home and I want to hold and hug her…that’s pretty much all I want to do, ” said Paul Dumolo. Her purse had been located by a citizen at Four Freedoms Park, a place she was known to visit often. Her cell phone was also located in her apartment. Lauren’s status as a missing person was changed to a missing person endangered as a result of the investigation. Her father says it is unlike her to have no contact with friends or family for ten days. “She’s my oldest daughter, it is hard for me as a father to imagine that my daughter just disappeared and that’s it, ” said Paul Dumolo. Lauren is a frequent walker in the area and does not own a car. She is 29 years old and is 5’0'‘ and 110 pounds, with light brown hair and brown eyes.“Sociable, she has a big tattoo on her side that says namaste, worked two jobs until COVID and she was working another job at north Fort Myers at a taco bell,” said Paul Dumolo.When she was last seen on June 19th, she was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. Anyone with any information on Lauren’s whereabouts or anyone who may have seen her at any point from June 19th on is asked to please contact the Cape Coral Police Department at (239) 574-3223.
Lauren has several tattoos: a “Namaste” down her ride rib cage, a symbol on her wrist, a NY symbol on her pelvis, and rosery beads on her ankle. It is not known what she was wearing. Lauren normally traveled thru Four Freedoms Park every day. When her family went to the park looking for her not only did they find her purse, they also found her shirt.
We will be searching around her home at 4927 Coronado Parkway, Apartment 1, Cape Coral Fl and at places where we have been given tips.

No MSM updates today.
I did find 4 listings from Letgo. These were via Google so I don't know if they are current. The items are baby & toddler girl fashion clothes, toddler life suit for swimming, original artwork by an up and coming painter, a used 4GLTE phone and a Sold 50" flatscreen TV.

Interesting. Divers in the water but not sure how to interpret “not yielding much more evidence.” They found something??
Private investigator weighs in on missing Cape Coral woman
Snips:
CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers say they haven’t gotten many tips in the case of missing woman, Lauren Dumolo.
Dumolo, 29, was last seen June 19th. Earlier this week community members searched for her around Four Freedoms Park, about half a mile away from her home where she was last seen.
Her purse was found at the park the day she went missing and her cellphone located in her apartment. But, it wasn’t until last week when her sister found a shirt that belongs to her in the sand at four freedoms. A strange twist in this case according to private investigator Walt Zalisko.
“That area was thoroughly searched days before. And the shirt just turns up right there on the sand?” he said perplexed.
Zalisko isn't investigating this case, but he questions whether or not her shirt was planted at the park, and the crime scene is actually somewhere else.
Cape Coral Police Department says divers have searched for Dumolo in the water near the park, not yielding much more evidence. Trish Routte with Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers says they haven’t received a lot of tips on her disappearance either.

Interesting comment on the SWFL Helping Hands post from yesterday.
Rena Marie
Update: I found a PI. We need $300 to hire him. Please donate.
I am looking for a private investigator who would be willling to donate their services to help find Lauren Dumolo or work with the family for a lower fee. Please contact me privately if you can help. The money donated to crimestoppers does not go towards private investigators. They charge about $90.00 per hour and the family desperately needs to hire one.
Laurens father flew here and using all his money to pay for hotels, car rentals etc. He searches night and day for his daughter. Can you please donate to help him with all these expenses?

Very concerning if accurate.
Interesting. Makes me also wonder when. Were they LE divers or community divers?
