A college scholar of yore, the elusive Lauren Spierer, suggests that he is on the cusp of resolving the case, prompted by an ostensible confession within the confines of a correctional facility from an individual identified as the barefaced gunman.
Lauren, formerly a promising student of Indiana University, vanished into the abyss in 2011, subsequent to an evening steeped in intemperate libations and suspected narcotics indulgence. She has remained invisible and unheard of since.
At present, Brad Garrett, erstwhile a cold case investigator and now a private detective, avowed to ABC's 20/20 that he stands on the precipice of elucidating the mystery, following an interaction with Corey Hamersley. Hamersley, once a comrade of Lauren at Indiana, found himself incarcerated for a 24-year sentence in 2013, subsequent to a drug-induced frenzy, brandishing a 9mm pistol. The erstwhile athlete was convicted of attempted murder for unleashing 32 bullets onto a random residence and vehicle, subsequently turning his aggression towards the responding law enforcement.
Hamersley, entangled in the drug milieu at Indiana, a milieu in which authorities speculate Lauren's involvement, disclosed a connection with her. Another inmate, currently serving time alongside Hamersley at Indiana State Prison, alleges that they were engaged in a game of cards within his cell when an image of Lauren materialized on the television behind them.
The anonymous informant, in conversation with ABC, revealed: 'Immediately Corey looks up at the TV and says, "Man, I knew the guys that did that."'
'[He said] they were imbibing and partaking in ecstasy. She overdosed. Panic ensued. Confounded, they transported her to the Ohio River... and disposed of her... cast aside her mortal remains.'
Although Hamersley refuted any knowledge of Lauren's disappearance in subsequent discussions with investigators, Garrett maintains that his conjecture warrants serious consideration. Lauren's absence dates back to 2011, when she was last glimpsed in the wee hours of the morning following a night of revelry with companions.
Garrett asserted, 'The notion is elegantly straightforward. In myriad criminal investigations, the pitfall lies in an undue inclination towards complexity. Often, simplicity reigns supreme. The thesis posits her demise at a gathering in Bloomington, orchestrated by someone who subsequently disposed of her.'
This theory gains particular cogency given Lauren's cardiac condition, susceptible to complications induced by stimulants such as ecstasy or cocaine.
Rob Spierer, Lauren's progenitor, noted the swift engagement of legal counsel by the individuals accompanying her on the night of her vanishing, deeming it peculiar.
The chronicle of Lauren's last sightings involves her rendezvous with student Corey Rossman, indulging in pre-game festivities before heading to a sports establishment. Despite a brief stint at the bar around 2 am, Lauren left behind her shoes and cellphone.
Garrett posited, 'I think that gives you some indication about how out of it she may be at this point.'
The trajectory led them to Lauren's off-campus residence, where an altercation with a quartet of men ensued, dissenting with Rossman's handling of her. A skirmish unfolded, culminating in a punch to Rossman's visage, leading to a memory lapse for him.
CCTV footage reveals Rossman carrying Lauren to his nearby apartment, where he fell ill and retired to bed. His roommate claims he then escorted the girl to the adjacent residence of Jason Rosenbaum, instructing her to repose on the couch.
However, as per Rosenbaum, Lauren demurred, expressing her desire to continue reveling and departed. Rosenbaum was the final eyewitness, observing her at approximately 4:30 am, sauntering away up the street before vanishing around the corner.
