Synopsis

**INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

"This book is the heartbreaking story that every parent dreads . . . Cohen sheds light on what really happened the night Lauren was never seen again." —David Crow, author of The Pale-Faced Lie

She visited friends. She walked to a bar. She was right there . . . until she was gone.

College student Lauren Spierer was pursuing her dreams, joining her boyfriend at a party school eight hundred miles from home. Social and gregarious, studying fashion and rooming with friends, Lauren embraced her new adventure with the zeal of a young woman who suddenly had everything she desired.

But there was a dark side that she and her inner circle kept secret. And one warm June evening, after heading out with friends, she seemingly vanished. When investigators retraced Lauren's last steps using eyewitness accounts and security camera footage, the evidence ended at the doorstep of a group of wealthy, well-connected male students.

With original reporting including new testimony witnesses never shared with police, College Girl, Missing takes listeners back to that fateful night and dives into the disappearance that captured front-page headlines around the world. Investigative journalist Shawn Cohen breaks more than a decade of silence as he pursues the truth: what really happened to Lauren Spierer?

Well, my daughter can cross Indiana University off her college list. (Edit: A lot of commenters came here to defend IU while decrying what happened to Lauren. In my attempt to start my review with a catchy line, I clearly provided bait instead. This was unintentional, but I am going to leave it here......more
