After 2 1⁄2 years, 20 large "Missing" billboards for Lauren have been taken down, on direction of the mayor of Bloomington.
The male college 'friends' with whom she was partying around the time she vanished have denied any involvement and been otherwise tight-lipped, but they remain highly suspicious to many, including Lauren's parents.
On December 2nd, attorneys for the Spierers and the 3 defendants named in their civil suit will appear before an Indianapolis judge to to determine whether the Spierers' suit against Corey Rossman, Michael Beth and Jason Rosenbaum will be thrown out. I think it will; don't think it'll go to trial. But, I do understand the Spierers' desire to keep the case alive and compel the men to answer questions - they are desperate parents in the worst possible situation.
The lawsuit claims that the three fellow Indiana University students gave Spierer alcohol and then failed to make sure the 20-year-old Westchester County, N.Y. native made it back to her Bloomington, Indiana apartment safely after a night of partying. Attorneys for the male students argue that there's no evidence that Lauren is dead, and that their clients had no responsiblity to escort and care for another adult that night.
