We can add to this....
July 2nd, Lauren's Red Shirt was found near the shore of the same park where her purse was found..... her sister searched daily and now suddenly it appeared... and did not look wet as if it had washed ashore.

I live in the area and have joined the search team. Can you please give me a screenshot of the places you have mentioned so I can check? Thanks!

It would be the entire street from Coronado to the park. I will probably see you there!

Ugh now “someone” is planting evidence... hope someone near the park has cameras to see who might have passed by with said shirt recently

Is it already confirmed she wore that specific piece of clothing the day she was last seen? Because otherwise where is that piece of clothing coming from?

So they have been all over that park every day, multiple times a day, IMO they are being observed. Because that shirt looks preserved, and not sandy or washed up at all.

Thank you Magz & DoodleFly for searching for Lauren!!

Can you look for cameras in the area, and the apartments and houses that border the area?

It sure does look like the shirt may have been planted, pretty strange that it randomly showed up? What if someone who lives in those apartments is watching searchers. creepy thought.

New clue in case of missing Cape Coral woman

Is this park frequented by the homeless? One thing I’ve heard, and I can’t verify of course, so JMO, is that the homeless will collect items they don't necessarily need. Just because they can or they use an item to barter with. Maybe a shirt that was left behind and they stuff it in their bag. They don’t recognize any significance to the item. Later, at some point as they’re going thru their bag, that item falls out. They’re unaware they’ve left an item behind.

I thought about the homeless too. Her purse was also found at the park, there are no details about who found it, just that it was found on June 19th. That was prior to Lauren even being reported missing. Musing if the purse and shirt were together or in different locations? Would a homeless person turn in the purse but keep the shirt? So many unanswered questions.

For consideration in areas to watch the park from: the Sunset Towers are two 7 story mid-rise condo buildings on the northwest corner of the park.

There are also 2 floor condo units directly across the Bimini basin that would afford a great view of the beach area where the shirt was found.

Boats also anchor often in the basin directly in front of the beach area.

This area is in what I would call the hub of our homeless community. I hope that the homeless community has been spoken with and notified about Lauren.

 

[Magz]

Also for search consideration:

Where does Lauren grocery shop, pick up sundries, etc. what route does she walk to get to those places?

Has the attic access a over her 4plex over all 4 units been searched?

How thoroughly was her apartment there searched considering someone lives there with her?

When was her last and next shift at the Taco Bell?

Cape Coral woman still missing after 19 days, father pleads for her safe Return

“A lot of people knew her and it was like from her house to here is maybe an eighth of a mile, and for nobody to know nothing,” he said. “It’s really frustrating.”

He’s not alone. A Facebook group created by SWFL Helping Hands organized a search for Lauren Tuesday night at Four Freedoms Park starting at 5 p.m. Paul says he doesn’t know the organizers but believes it could be a gamechanger.

“Just for a community to be that caring and that giving of their time and to find and help find another family that they have no idea, just out of the kindness of their heart, is amazing. It’s beautiful,” he said.

He’s hoping against hope, someone is holding his daughter and will let her go.

“If you give me my daughter and I can take her, I’ll walk away. That’s it. I’m done. That’s my word, I give you my word on that,” Paul said. “Not knowing is worse, it’s worse, it’s hard.”

Her father won’t be in Cape Coral for the organized search tonight, as he says he’s looking for her in another location where he believes she may have been.

If you see or know anything about Lauren, please call the police.

I hope he has others with him when he goes to this other location. I’d hate for him to be alone and stumble into something unsafe. You just never know.

Very important A lot of people have doorbell cams these days so if you knock on doors near the park or Lauren’s home ask ppl if they would be willing to look at their cameras on the 19, 20, or 21st. If they find anything on their cam please make sure to tell them how to submit a tip here:Tips — Cape Coral Police Department Do not forget to ask this. This is the single biggest thing you can do to help find Lauren. Make sure to leave the Cape Coral police’s phone (239) 574-3223 number and ask them to save and report anything suspicious.

Encourage them to do it now with you or they may not do it later. Make sure to stay 6 feet away.

Be mentally prepared and alert at all times.

This area is in what I would call the hub of our homeless community. I hope that the homeless community has been spoken with and notified about Lauren.

If LE is friendly with them, they can be a great resource.

Go team Lauren go!

Happy, but concerned. It's been nineteen days and they are just now requesting video footage?

Absolutely a great resource. I have seen some of them out and about here for 20 years.
