Considering that the OD/hide the body scenario is still on the table...
Id like to see an investigative reporter examine the use of cocaine and other hard drugs amongst students at IU. I think that could be a big, interesting story and could potentially shed light on this case. The local Bloomington paper wouldnt do this... I think they have a vested interest in presenting anything having to do with the University or IU students in a positive light.
Obviously, we dont know if any of these kids did coke or if drugs are involved with Laurens disappearance but the rumor and circumstantial evidence is strong. And unlike a lot of students, these folks had the money and probably the opportunity to get cocaine if they wanted to.
And think about this: Given the speculation, if I was a lawyer for one of the P.O.I. (particularly JR or CR) Id eagerly announce that my client was not taking any sort of hard drugs the night of Laurens disappearance if he could pass a drug test (so Im guessing they cant).
There havent been a lot of stories about what is (was) Lauren like, I know one came around a few days ago, but have you seen anyone close to this circle say something like Lauren wouldnt do coke or narcotics or these people werent into drugs?
