Missing IU student Lauren Spierer to be remembered at graduation
Posters of Lauren Spierer are all over IU’s campus. Spierer would have been graduating this weekend but she is still missing. The school’s president will talk about her this weekend at commencement. Her family just wishes someone would come forward to help “Find Lauren.”
Graduation. – for senior Alexa D’Sa, it’s celebrating the end of one journey and the beginning of another.
“I am well prepared,” said D’Sa. “I am at peace with the whole situation. I am ready, but it has been great four years.”
A joy-filled time for most, but not for everyone.

Missing student's parents not comforted by Ohio rescue
The parents of missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer are thrilled that three young women, abducted off the street and thought to be dead, were found last week after years of imprisonment in a Cleveland home.
But their joy didn't give them any more hope that their own daughter would be found alive, after she went missing in June 2011 after a night out in Bloomington, Ind.

One of several people who had been with Indiana University student Lauren Spierer on the night she was last seen in 2011 told a newspaper that Spierer's parents have been harassing him.
In an interview with The Journal News , Corey Rossman said, "It's inappropriate the way they're harassing people that are also victims in this case."
"We've done nothing wrong. If we'd done something wrong, we would have been arrested already. All they're doing is hurting my career," Rossman told the paper.

Exclusive: Why Lauren Spierer's parents won't give up
Robert and Charlene Spierer liken their voices to white noise. Even they’re numbed by the sound of themselves talking, as they express despair, anger and frustration in the face of the second anniversary of their daughter’s disappearance. Still, the once-private couple from Greenburgh are afraid that if they stop talking about their daughter, Indiana University student Lauren Spierer, her still-unsolved case will cease to be a story. Specifically, they want to keep pressure on four young men, all considered “persons of interest” in the investigation, to stop hiding behind their lawyers and submit to police lie-detector tests.

Missing student's parents say they won't give up search
Submitting to polygraphs, the Spierers contend, is the only way to confirm that Corey Rossman, Jay Rosenbaum, Mike Beth and Jesse Wolff are being honest about their interactions with 20-year-old Lauren Spierer in the hours before her disappearance. In November, they wrote letters to the parents of all four men pleading for them to get their children to take polygraphs. Two denied the request; two didn't even respond.

Frustration now permeates the voice of grieving mother Charlene Spierer, who 11 months into her daughter’s disappearance had first voiced through tears that she didn’t think her younger daughter was still alive.
Emptiness fills the voice of Robert Spierer, who has been firm in his request that the young men who last saw his daughter take police-administered polygraph tests. Or speak with Bloomington police again.
