BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Bloomington police say a missing Indiana University student wasn't involved in any altercations before she disappeared.

But Lt. Bill Parker won't discuss reports that a male friend with 20-year-old Lauren Spierer (SPEER'-ur) was in a fight with other men a couple hours earlier.

Parker said divers would return to nearby Lake Monroe after a search Wednesday turned up nothing. Hundreds of volunteers have joined in searches for the Greenburgh, N.Y., woman since she was last seen about 4:30 a.m. Friday walking alone to her apartment after a night of partying.

Her father, Robert Spierer, says a $100,000 reward is being offered for information leading to her return. He asked Thursday that people living around Bloomington check wooded areas, barns or sheds on their property for any signs of her.
