“Shocking that someone so loved could vanish without a trace but entirely possible. It did happen and ten years later I still struggle.”
So what happened to Lauren? While we don’t know the answer to the question, we do know what happened leading up to her disappearance 11 years ago.
According to a timeline pieced together by the Bloomington Police, around 12:30 in the morning, Lauren is seen leaving her apartment in Smallwood Plaza, which is just a short walk away from her college campus.
Lauren leaves her apartment with a friend of hers named David Rohn. She is wearing a white top and black leggings. Lauren and David then walk a few streets over to Jay’s place and leave there with him and his friend Cory Rossman.
At 1:46 a.m., Lauren is spotted on surveillance footage going into a local bar called Kilroy’s Sports Bar, which is a 3-minute walk from her apartment.
At 2:27 a.m. Lauren is picked up again on surveillance footage, this time she is leaving the bar along with Cory.
Now, Lauren was not wearing any shoes at this point, which she had left behind along with her cellphone.

Kilroy’s has a patio covered in sand, so it wasn’t weird that she had taken her shoes off. But why didn’t she didn’t put her shoes back on, or why did one of her friends not help make that happen?
In a lawsuit filed by Lauren’s parents against the men last seen with her that night, a witness stated Lauren needed Corey’s help to even stand up straight and walk out of there.
