Charlene Spierer stands in the doorway of her New York home looking at the boxes she and her husband packed and collected from their missing daughter’s Bloomington apartment in the summer of 2011.
Nineteen months later, those 19 boxes remain untouched, unopened, unpacked.
Those boxes illustrate the grief Robert and Charlene Spierer experience every day. The continued search for missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer has again taken to the national stage — this time in the latest issue of People magazine, with millions of readers in print and online.
The Spierers said they hope by telling their daughter’s story to a popular national magazine, they’ll finally get the one lead that will bring them closure and bring their daughter home.
“Our sole objective is to get that one lead. Anything that we do. If we have one lead, it will have been worth it. That’s our whole objective, to get that one person,” Charlene Spierer said in a phone interview Friday evening after “Life without Lauren” hit newsstands.
In the article, the Spierers tell People magazine that police and investigators aren’t getting tips or leads as frequently as they used to.
Lauren Spierer was reportedly last seen about 4:30 a.m. on June 3, 2011, at the intersection of 11th Street and College Avenue. It’s been reported she was walking home alone toward her Smallwood Plaza apartment after a night out at Kilroy’s Sports Bar and 5 North Townhomes. She was 20 at the time of her disappearance.
