What happened

Lauren Spierer, a 20-year-old Indiana University student, disappeared in the early morning hours of June 3, 2011, after a night out in Bloomington, Indiana. She was last seen walking in the area of 11th Street and College Avenue, and she never returned home. NamUs, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, describes her as 4 feet 11 inches tall, 90 to 95 pounds, with blond-strawberry hair and blue eyes; she was last seen wearing long black leggings and a white off-the-shoulder sheer shirt, with no footwear.

On June 14, 2011, the City of Bloomington published an official appeal stating that the Bloomington Police Department was being given all resources necessary to find her. The appeal noted that callers could remain anonymous and that calls were not traced, and it cited a $100,000 reward for information that leads to finding Lauren. She has never been found.
