Summary

1988 - Cranston, Rhode Island. Around 11 p.m. on July 19, 1988, a Cranston police officer came across an abandoned car in the breakdown lane of Route 10. The vehicle belonged to the mother of 18-year-old Lauren Morris, a recent graduate of Bristol High, who had been reported missing after borrowing it to run errands. Blood found inside the car suggested something was terribly wrong. Just beyond the guardrail, a short distance down the embankment, the officer discovered Lauren’s body floating in Spectacle Pond, a tire wrapped around her torso. Investigators pursued numerous leads, but none led to a definitive suspect. Despite early momentum, the investigation eventually went cold, leaving behind a trail of questions—and a family still searching for justice. If you have any information about the murder of Lauren Morris from 1988, please call Detective Robert Santagata of the Cranston Police Department at (401) 477-5169 or submit a tip to the Rhode Island AG’s Office Cold Case Unit at (401) 468-2233 or Episode sources and photos: https://murdershetold.com/episodes/lauren-morris Support Murder, She Told: ⁠⁠https://www.murdershetold.com/support⁠⁠ Learn more: ⁠⁠murdershetold.com⁠⁠ ----- Instagram: ⁠⁠@murdershetoldpodcast⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠/mstpodcast⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠@murdershetold⁠⁠ ------ Learn more about your ad choices.
