Few leads on missing Indiana University student

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Police say they suspect foul play in the disappearance of a 20-year-old Indiana University student five days ago, but have little information about what happened to her.

Dozens of volunteers headed back out Tuesday looking for signs of Lauren Spierer (SPEER'-ur) in the area where she was last seen walking alone about 4:30 a.m. Friday toward her apartment in downtown Bloomington.

City police Lt. Bill Parker says investigators have Spierer's cell phone, purse and some keys but that they aren't sure whether she left them behind before she went missing following a night of partying with friends.

Robert Spierer said at a news conference that he and his wife have been overwhelmed by the number of people searching for their daughter. He says they're not going to give up.
