Lauren Spierer, 20, missing Indiana co-ed

This case always interested me.

Me too, MS.

Very sad that another of Lauren's birthdays is passing and her heartbroken parents are still wondering what the hell happened to her that night in June 2011.

Back in June of this year, Rob and Charlene Spierer filed a civil lawsuit against Corey Rossman, Jay Rosenbaum and Michael Beth for providing Lauren with alcohol but failing to care for her. The civil charge is "negligence resulting in the disappearance, injury, or death of an adult child".

Unfortunately, the civil suit strategy isn't looking too viable right now and the suit may well get thrown out; anxious to see what happens there.

Snip:
“In light of the issues raised in the pending motions to dismiss, as well as Defendants’ expected assertion of their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, the Court grants the Defendants’ request to stay all discovery pending rulings on those motions,” the ruling (by Judge Baker) read.

It is unknown when a ruling will be handed down, but a deputy clerk said Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, who will decide whether to grant the motion to dismiss, has not received requests for oral arguments as of last week. She may decide to rule without a hearing.

IMO, the Spierers are just desperate for answers and want the three to be subject to questioning under oath in civil court since they ain't talking to the criminal investigators. Hoping the Spierers get some answers, one way or another, soon.
