Still No Sign of Spierer

robertspiererIt’s now been a week since Lauren Spierer’s disappearance – and despite a full-fledged search, lucrative rewards and intervention by many agencies, she has still not been found.

However her parents and the police are keeping the spotlight on the case and marshalling hundreds of volunteers who are participating in search parties that go out three times a day.

Here is the latest update:

Police say that though there was an altercation involving a companion of Lauren’s on the night she vanished, she herself was not in the fight. So far the identities of the aggressors in the fight have not been revealed though the people who were involved were presumably among the last to see Lauren Spierer.

In a press conference shown on the Herald Times Online website , Spierer’s Dad urged private landowners in the area to check their barns, sheds and garages and invited them to contact Bloomington police for assistance in these searches of private properties,

Monetary rewards for information continue to grow:

The Spierer family offered $100,000 reward for information leading to the return of their daughter.

Bloomington attorney Ken Nunn pledged $25,000 “for the apprehension and conviction of the people responsible” in Spierer’s disappearance. Nunn said that he’s convinced someone knows what happen to Spierer.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay provided a $10,000 reward

The owners of Smallwood Plaza, John and Kara Jacobs, established the “Help Find Lauren Fund” at Old National Bank with $10,000 on Thursday. As of Thursday afternoon, that fund had grown to an estimated $20,000.
