Lauren Spierer, a 2009 graduate of Edgemont High School, has been missing since early Friday morning. Spierer, age 20, just completed her sophomore year at Indiana University in Bloomington and was last seen walking home to her apartment on College Avenue in Bloomington, Indiana at 4:30 am on Friday. However she failed to arrive there.
Spierer has a life-threatening heart condition called Long QT Syndrome and needs to have access to medication.
According to the Indiana Daily Student , Spierer studies fashion merchandising and is a University Division scholar. She planned to stay in Bloomington for part of this summer to take a course at Ivy Tech before doing an internship at the clothing store Anthropologie in New York City. She is a petite 4'11" tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Her parents, Robert and Charlene Spierer are in Indiana searching for her along with family, friends and the police. An interview on ABC news on Monday afternoon 6/6 shows a widespread search, but unfortunately there are few clues about her whereabouts. In addition a Facebook page has been set up to offer support and share information. Anyone with information about her should call the Bloomington Police Department at 812-339-4477.

Are you a college student with three hours a week to spare this summer? You can make a difference in the lives of deserving and motivated New Rochelle High School students.
Going to college is the most definitive step a young person can take toward a successful future. But getting into college is hard, expensive and rigorous. Low-income students typically apply to college at a great disadvantage socially and economically - if they apply at all. The SAT, college and scholarship applications, and financial aid forms are challenging even for the most advantaged students.
Let's Get Ready, a nonprofit organization started thirteen years ago by a Scarsdale High School alumnus, envisions a world where students from all socioeconomic backgrounds have equal access to the support they need to reach higher education.
College students are needed to be volunteer coaches for SAT verbal or math (or both!) at New Rochelle High School this summer. Verbal coaches work 6-9pm Tuesday nights, coaching critical reading and writing for the first half of class and assisting on the personal statement essays the second half. Math coaches work 6-9pm Thursday nights, coaching math the first half of class and helping with The Common Application and college selection the second half.
If you are a college-aged student who wants to make a difference:
