Summary
“It is shocking that someone so loved could vanish without a trace, but entirely possible. It did happen and ten years later I still struggle. The space that once held hopes and dreams for Lauren will never heal. It is replaced by an ache fueled by the not knowing”. Those were the words Charlene Spierer wrote on the ten year anniversary of the disappearance of her daughter Lauren. When Lauren’s parents dropped their daughter off at Indiana University in the Fall 2009 for the start of her freshman semester, they had felt she would be safe to learn and grow and then she would come back home, ready for the next chapter in her life. But Lauren never came back home, and to this day, ten years later, no one has any idea where Lauren Spierer is, but her parents and many others believe that there is someone, or more than one someone, who does know more than they’re saying, and who could help bring the Spierer family some closure.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Arlo. And I'm Derek Olvassar. |
| 0:19.0 | Today we are finishing the Lauren Spirer case. We are just freshly back from Nashville. I |
| 0:26.1 | know I'm a little jet lagged and tired and exhausted. Yeah, I think they're going to hear |
| 0:31.4 | both of our voices, you know, don't say that. I know I hear it in my voice. I was telling you |
| 0:36.6 | before we started recording, I hear like a little bit more of a raspy. I have a raspy voice a |
| 0:41.6 | little bit anyways, but I feel like it's extra raspy today. I don't know. Extra raspy. Maybe it's just |
| 0:47.6 | me being self conscious. I don't know. I fell asleep at like 11 o'clock last night. We'll go up at 9 o'clock |
| 0:52.6 | this morning and that's a lot of sleep. That's a lot of sleep for me. And I could have slept for way |
| 0:58.0 | longer. I've been exhausted for days just feeling like I can't, he had some... Yeah, it was only an |
| 1:04.8 | hour difference in time. So it can't really be that. I don't know. No, but we put in the work, |
| 1:10.0 | though. I mean, we were going, we were getting, we were getting up early going to the speaking |
| 1:12.9 | sessions. We were negotiating with all these, you know, the people at the exhibitors, I guess we |
| 1:17.7 | call them, right? Yeah. So we, you know, we, it was a good week. We won't go and we won't bore you |
| 1:23.1 | guys with all the details, but we did learn a lot. We got some possibilities with new equipment. We |
| 1:28.7 | told anyone who watched the YouTube live feed, you know, you already, you know, all this. So it was |
| 1:33.9 | dead. Now that we're home in hindsight, it was definitely worth going. I'll say that much. |
| 1:38.4 | Yes, but I'm excited to wrap up this case today because it's kind of been on my mind. And |
| 1:44.0 | um, today I was, I actually got a bunch of emails just this week from people who've been watching |
| 1:50.7 | the show and listening with like different theories and stuff. So we are going to discuss that |
| 1:55.7 | in this video. And I'm excited to dive into that. But before we dive into the theories, we do |
| 2:00.4 | want to talk about a civil lawsuit that was involved in this case. So in May of 2013, Laurence |
| 2:09.0 | parents, Charlene and Robert Spirer, they filed a civil lawsuit against Corey Rosman, Michael Baff, |
