The Disappearance of Lauren Spierer: An Interview with Journalist and Author Shawn Cohen

On June 3, 2011, in the city of Bloomington, Indiana, 20-year-old Indiana University student Lauren Spierer went out on the town. She never returned. Over a decade later, she has still not been found. Her family still waits on answers.

For years, rumors and speculation have persisted about Lauren encountering a predator, centering killers like Daniel Messel and Israel Keyes. That all requires a stranger to have abducted Lauren within a very small window of time, while also somehow contriving to fail to appear on any surveillance footage.

More salient questions remain around the young men who were last known to be around Lauren. Young men whose stories remain vague. Jay Rosenbaum, Lauren's friend. Corey Rossman, Rosenbaum's neighbor who was out with Lauren when she was visibly intoxicated. Michael Beth, Rossman's room mate who says he interacted with Lauren that night.

Shawn Cohen was one of the first reporters on the case. Recently, he came out with a book on the case: College Girl, Missing. This book doesn't just recount the anguish of this infamous missing persons case. It dispels misinformation and moves the story forward. See, Cohen strived to track down the young men at the heart of the case, including Spierer's boyfriend Jesse Wolff. He even got some of them on the record. His book is a compelling look at a case that has long haunted both Bloomington, Indiana, New York's Westchester County, and beyond.
