She Was Barely Conscious. Then the Story Changes.

New merch released today! Check it out here: https://crimeandcoffeecouple.dashery.... In June 2011, 20-year-old Indiana University student Lauren Spierer vanished after a night out in Bloomington, leaving behind surveillance footage, conflicting accounts, missing belongings and a final stretch of time that has never been fully explained. Several people saw Lauren severely intoxicated and struggling to walk, yet the men who were with her later gave accounts that did not always match, including differing versions of how she spent her final known 90 minutes and whether she actually left the townhome where she was last reported alive. Over the years, investigators have examined theories ranging from an accidental death and concealed body to abduction, serial killer Daniel Messel and even Israel Keyes, but no direct evidence has established what happened. Fifteen years later, Lauren’s parents are still waiting for the one piece of information that could finally explain where their daughter went. Allison walks through the evidence, the inconsistencies and the details that continue to keep Lauren Spierer’s disappearance unresolved. *Disclaimer:* This video uses selected clips from videos published by *ABC News* and *WTHR* about the disappearance of **Lauren Spierer**.
