LAUREN SPIERER STANDUP

Stand-up: Here on I-U’s campus, as you can see here, Lauren Spierer’s Search Headquarters has been moved from the Smallwood Plaza, which is closed, to McNutt.  Now, as of today, police has eliminated a person of interest.  It is the driver of the white pick-up truck; they say he was no longer involved.

VO: [Picture of Truck] [Video of Truck] Last week, the police had a huge lead on the case with this white pick-up truck.  Police told us today that the driver is no longer anyone they consider as a suspect.  Though they have no one in particular, Lauren’s mother is still looking for someone to speak up.

VO: As long as no one speaks up, the case will continue and people will keep pursuing Lauren’s kidnappers.

VO: Lauren has been missing since Friday morning when she was last seen at 4:30 a.m.  The community has gotten behind this story and have done everything they can to find her.  But will it be enough?  We will just have to wait and see.
