Lauren Spierer Disappearance: $100,000 reward offered
BLOOMINGTON, Ind - As a $100,000 reward is offered in the search for missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer of Edgemont, a lawyer says police have searched the car, credit card records and cellphone of a fellow student who was with her for much of the night and was punched during a confrontation.
Robert Spierer thanked the hundreds of volunteers who have been searching Bloomington and surrounding areas for his daughter and urged them to continue today. He said tips on the case could be called in to Bloomington police anonymously.
“I’m asking local landowners to check their fields, the woods, their barns, and to call the police if they need help,” he said today during the daily Bloomington police briefing on the search. “Anything small could be something big.”
Meanwhile Bloomington police Lt. Bill Parker said there is little new to report about the case.
“I do not have any great revelations,” he said. “There’s a heck of a lot of information coming in, and that’s what we want.”
The 20-year-old woman has been missing since Friday after a long night of partying with friends from Indiana University.
Both Spierer and Rossman had been charged with drinking offenses in Bloomington.
Spierer was charged on Sept. 3, 2010, public intoxication, illegal consumption of an alcoholic beverage, misdemeanors. Rossman was charged on Oct. 9, 2008, with possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. On Oct. 31 and Dec. 5, 2010, he was charged with illegal consumption of an alcoholic beverage. Spierer paid a $428 fine. Rossman paid about $400 for each of his, officials said.
Parker would not comment or answer questions about surveillance video footage from Lauren Spierer’s apartment building that her father said show her and several men in an argument the morning she disappeared.
“Lauren was not involved in any altercation,” he said, but would not elaborate or comment further. He said police are “looking into everything we can, whether it’s video or people talking to us.”
Police have said Lauren Spierer and a man were seen leaving a nearby bar around 2:30 a.m. Friday, just before they entered her nearby apartment building, known as Smallwood Plaza. The pair are seen on video leaving the building about 10 minutes later. Police said they walked a few blocks to another building, where Spierer stayed until about 4:30 a.m., when she decided to return home, alone.
