Lacrosse for Lauren Classic

Saturday, October 22nd was the perfect day for the Lacrosse for Lauren Classic. It was a pleasure to meet Coach Tumbas and the IU Lacrosse team members as well as many team supporters. Lauren played lacrosse until she was diagnosed with a heart condition. It was her favorite sport. While Lauren is a petite girl, she was fierce on the lacrosse field!

Our sincere thanks to Coach Tumbas and the entire IU Lacrosse Team for dedicating Saturday to Lauren.

With our sincere appreciation,
Rob and Charlene Spierer

Shine4Lauren

We would like to thank Indiana University, the IU student organizations, the City of Bloomington, Clayton Anderson, Dot Dot Dot, Brice Fox and Daniel Weber, Coach Crean, Matt Thiel and all of the participants who helped plan, implement and joined us for the Shine4Lauren Awareness event on Thursday, September 22, 2011. It was truly a student driven event with an energy, focus and caring that from its initial planning, amazed us. We knew from the beginning, we were in the good hands and warm hearts of so many who care about Lauren and our family.

Your willingness to stand in the chilling rain was a testament to your standing for Lauren. We will be forever grateful for your continued support. Our ultimate goal every day is to take one step closer to finding Lauren, one step closer to taking our dear girl home. As Rob said, the task is too large and the information provided so far has been too sparse. Please do what you can and be vigilant. We cannot do it alone. Thank you for being a huge part of our effort to obtain information about her disappearance and to find Lauren.

We continue our search.

With thanks and appreciation to so many,
Rob, Charlene and Rebecca Spierer

Valentine's Day 2013

Lauren was a true romantic. Valentine's day was one of her favorite holidays. We can imagine her today, smile on her face, love in her heart...

While the physical searches of the summer of 2011 are over, we continue to search for answers by any means we can, primarily through the media. Twitter is one of the fastest ways to reach the most people. Please help us continue our search for Lauren by following and re-tweeting @NewsOnLaurenS to help #FindLauren. We are forever grateful for your continued prayers and support in our journey to bring Lauren home.

With sincere appreciation,
Rob, Charlene and Rebecca

Anything Small….

A friend of Lauren's recently shared the following quote with us..."fearless doesn't mean the absence of fear. It means being scared to death and still going after what you want"-Jordan Burroughs Olympic Gold 2012…
Since Lauren's disappearance we have had many examples of people who have been fearless in their desire to help us find our daughter. We will always be grateful for their courage. If you have any information which could help lead us closer to Lauren, please find the courage to share that information.

With sincere appreciation,
Rob and Charlene Spierer

22 years ago today, we were given the gift of another precious daughter. Lauren completed our family. Anyone who knows Lauren knows that she could light up a room without trying. Her love for life was infectious. Her ease with people and dedication to her friends was always apparent. Lauren’s quick wit, intelligence and true caring made her someone people gravitated towards. Today we celebrate the joy we share and mourn what might have been. There will never be another Lauren.

Today is Lauren’s birthday. There will be no gifts mailed to Bloomington, no cake, no candles, no excited anticipation as the celebration of one so loved approaches. We are left only with the gifts the person responsible for Lauren’s disappearance has given our family, despair, heartache and loss.

We have no doubt that when Lauren is found, the next chapter of this horrible nightmare will begin anew. On June 3, 2011, a set of parents was born; unwavering in our desire to find our daughter and see that justice is served for a life ended too early. We remain… just as determined as day one.

Thankful for the time we had, proud of the person you became, forever in our hearts, we love you, Lauren.

We still need your help…..

I know someone has the information that could help us find Lauren. Maybe you feel it is too late to help Lauren and so why bother. What you might not be considering is the heartache your lack of action has caused our family and friends. The not knowing is almost unbearable. When I asked someone recently, why they thought no one was coming forward they gave two reasons…one was people are afraid that by sharing what they know they might get into trouble. The other reason was fear of being exposed through the media. Truly, could those be the reasons you are hesitating? If you know what happened the night of Lauren's disappearance, or if you have any information, please get in touch with me, either through this Facebook page or through any of the other avenues we have provided. Even if it is just to start the conversation, even if it is just to say you have information. If you have written an anonymous letter and feel you now have the courage to come forward, I beg you to do so. What we want more than anything is to show Lauren the respect she deserves by bringing her home. Hasn't she already paid for her mistakes with the ultimate sacrifice? Please…anything small could be big.
