I agree with Shefner. I just glanced at the enlarged photo and thought it looked like a person in the truck bed with his arm around or holding something down, and a tarp pulled over it (or her). That is creepy.

When I first saw the photo, I thought I saw someone in the back as well.

Qualters said police are trying to determine if the truck might be connected to construction in the area. He said police have identified another place that may have video of the area.
It looks like LE is aware of the possible construction connection. It certainly seems suspicious.

The tool box appears to be at the tailgate of the truck....and just behind the rear window appears to be one or two people. But that could be the equipment that others have mentioned.

So, do these photos come from cameras in two different locations? Or is it the same location on 10th between College and Morton?

Could it be a person sitting/slumped in the back of the pickup...rather than equiptment? It's really hard to make out.

I think/pray/hope with the release of these photos and the massive amount of media attention this will come to some sort of end soon.

I have a 2000 Chevy s10 with a liner and the liner on the tailgate comes off easy.That could be why the inside looks white.

Facebook page

Don't know if this has been posted yet. Here is the boyfriend's Facebook page. His last name has been changed. His favorite TV show jumps out at you. Not that it proves anything.

Ok, im on my phone at work, so I cant go back through all the threads at the moment. However I was just thinking of a few things that I dont have the answers to.

1. Do any of JW's frat brothers that were involved in the confrontation live at smallwood?

2. If no, why were they there? Especially curious as to why they were in the lobby of the 5th floor. (i think thats what was reported.

3. Does LS live on the floor that the confrontation occured?

4. Were the frat guys already on that floor when LS and CR got off the elevator, or did they follow them up there?

5. Were these guys at kilroys?

My whole purpose is to find out why the frat guys were at smallwood if none of them lived there. Did they follow LS home from kilroys, or were they waiting there for her?

I think it is just an assumption that the confrontation was with JW's fraternity brothers. I haven't seen anything that identified the people who ruffed up JR.

Please tag the article and correct me if I'm wrong!

I still don't think its a stranger abduction yet. Her Mom's pleas seem more specifically directed. The other boys were so quick to get lawyers, and the out of town exit of JW leave me feeling uncomfortable.

I'm still praying for a miracle for Lauren to be found safe!

Respectfully, BBM:

The friend [an unidentified frat brother of JW] said Wolff received no phone calls or visitors in the hours after his fraternity brothers confronted Spierer and Rossman at Smallwood.

From this morning's presser:
Quote:
The four-door Chevrolet Silverado or Colorado pickup was caught on video at 4:14 June 3, traveling west on 10th Avenue toward Morton Street, where it ran a stop sign and headed north on Morton, toward the building where the 20-year-old Edgemont High School graduate last visited. At 4:24 a.m., the vehicle is again seen traveling west on 10th toward Morton, Bloomington police Capt. Joe Qualters said.
http://www.lohud.com/article/20110615/NEWS02/106150373

Quote:
The truck was described as a Chevrolet Silverado full-size truck or a Chevrolet Colorado mid-size truck, believed to be a mid-2000s year model with four doors, a short bed and distinctive wheels.

The truck does have a bed liner and had equipment in the back, police said. It's believed to have a logo or writing of some kind on the doors and on the tailgate."It's significant in the proximity and the timing," Qualters said. "Hopefully it's someone who can provide information to us, who may have seen something in that particular area."
http://www.theindychannel.com/news/28245536/detail.html

Quarles also said they are aware of another place that might have video of the area.

Was the picture they showed today of Lauren leaving Smallwood taken before she went to the bar? Her roommate last said she went with DR to JR's first but she looks to be alone.

This is what I can't figure out, when is this photo from? Does she have on shoes, I can't tell. Did they remove CR from the photo if this was when she was leaving Smallwood after the fight?

There is a white look that just barely shows on her foot. Could be white flats?

It was taken before she went to Kilroy's.

Re: the photo released today of Lauren leaving Smallwood Apartments.

Quote:
Qualters said the photograph was taken before she joined friends at Kilroy’s Sports bar.

In it, Lauren is caught mid-stride. She’s wearing black leggings and a white V-neck loose T-shirt with mid-length belled sleeves. She appears to wear a watch or dark bracelet on her right wrist. She carries a white jacket or long-sleeved piece of clothing over her left arm.

She looks to be smiling and playing with her hair.

So does this mean that HT was lying, or she just doesn't know where LS was going. Why would she tell the story about going to JR's first. Maybe that happened earlier in the night?

Yeah, look like ballerina flats. She also isn't where a "v-neck with bell sleeves" it looks to me, someone correct me if I am wrong, that she is wearing an oversized men's v-neck undershirt. This was/is a pretty common look for girls in Westchester if they don't have big plans for the evening. In fact, I am wearing one of my boyfriends shirts, just like this, right now.

that is the kind of shirt I am talking about. The sleeves are going to be enormous on someone as small as Lauren. You can tell, by the video that the tee is tucked in and kind of pulled out to bunch a bit in the front. Again, it is a common "chill" outfit in NY
