Summary

Originally Aired: March 30th, 2022 After a night of partying, Indiana University sophomore Lauren Spierer left a friend’s off-campus apartment and seemingly vanished into thin air. This upcoming June (June 2022) will mark the 11th anniversary of the 20-year-old’s disappearance, and law enforcement is still no closer to solving the case. There’s a lot to unpack with Lauren’s disappearance, and at the center of it all is the question nobody can seem to answer: What happened to Lauren Elizabeth Spierer?
