College Student From Westchester Is Still Missing Five Years Later

The mother of an Indiana University student from Westchester County who vanished five years ago says she still believes the mystery of her daughter's disappearance will someday be solved.

Twenty-year-old Lauren Spierer vanished on June 3, 2011, after a night out with friends in Bloomington, Indiana. Searches around Bloomington and the surrounding countryside failed to turn up any sign of the Greenburgh woman. But Charlene Spierer writes in a Facebook posting on Friday's 5-year anniversary that she still believes "the truth of what happened to Lauren" will someday be known and that "justice will be served." She says she does not believe her daughter's disappearance resulted from "a random abduction. Charlene Spierer writes that it's hard for her to believe that whoever's responsible for her daughter's disappearance has not confided in someone.
