hate to say it, she's likely dead, but she had a heart condition and was doing coke? oh shit stupid. :(
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Police for the first time today acknowledged that they have received information that college student Lauren Spierer may have overdosed on cocaine and that the student or students who were with her panicked and disposed of her body.
Bloomington police Capt. Joe Qualters was asked by a reporter about these "rumors" during a morning media conference.
His reply: "Have we heard information along those lines? Absolutely."
But he said detectives have not ruled that, or any other possibility, out in their investigation into the missing student.
"It's absolutely critical for us to be open minded," he said. "There is no shortage of information coming in."
The 20-year-old Indiana University sophomore, a graduate of Edgemont High School who has a rare heart condition, vanished early June 3 after a night of partying.
Qualters also said today that they have video of one or two cars in the vicinity that they are interested in tracking down. They are seeking to enhance the video and may release photos to the public, hoping to speak with the driver or drivers in case they have information that can aid the investigation. The street, which he did not identify, is "not heavily traveled," Qualters said.
Police are not describing the car or cars in question at this time, saying they do not want be inundated with false leads.
