"Spierer, who just finished her sophomore year at IU studying apparel merchandising, was last seen walking south on College Avenue from 11th Street on her way back to her apartment in Smallwood Plaza. Video footage does not show her entering the apartment complex. She was supposed to start a class on Monday at Ivy Tech, according to Ivy Tech's vice chancellor for student affairs Jennie Vaughan."
