A Lead from Jail In 2012, another student at Indiana University, Corey Hamersley, was arrested after suffering a mental breakdown while high on drugs and after shooting at local police officers. Hamersley was reportedly heavily involved in the drug culture at Indiana University and was a former star athlete for the university. Shortly after being sentenced to 24 years in prison for firing at police officers, an inmate in the same cell block as Hamersley claims that Hamersley said of Lauren’s disappearance, “I knew the guy that did that.” The inmate further claims that Hamersley said “[Lauren and some other students] were drinking and doing ecstasy.

Lauren’s parents claimed that the three men were negligent in their care of Lauren the night of her disappearance, and that both Rossman and Rosenbaum provided Lauren with alcohol throughout the night despite the fact that she was “visibly intoxicated.” Despite the fact that none of the men have been publicly named as suspects by the local police department, Charlene Spierer publicly said, “I truly don’t think it was a random abduction, I think that somebody Lauren knew was responsible for the events of that …show more content…

Wilson was also parting at Kilroy’s Sports Bar the night of her disappearance on April 24, 2015, before leaving the bar in a taxi. Wilson’s body was found the next day in Brown County, Indiana, and her murder was investigated as a possible link to Spierer’s case. However, despite the arrest of a local man, Daniel Messel, in Wilson’s murder, a private investigator hired by the Spierer’s determined that the two cases were unrelated. In January 2016, the FBI and local police department began to investigate a property belonging to the family of Justin Wagers, a registered sex offender, who police believe may have been involved in Lauren’s disappearance. The house, located in the 2900 block of Old Morgantown Road in Martinsville, Indiana, was searched by officers with cadaver dogs.
