A gripping true crime book about a college girl who disappeared in plain sight When Lauren Spierer―a gregarious young woman at a crossroads in her life―vanished from Indiana University , her story drew global attention from celebrities and news outlets such as People magazine, CNN, and USA Today . Lauren's disappearance wasn't just some random abduction. What makes the case so confounding is that the 20-year-old was out with dozens of classmates in a bustling university town on the night she went missing. She was seen in public by witnesses and security cameras, and ended up in a townhouse complex with several wealthy, well-connected male students―never to be seen again. Despite the media frenzy surrounding the case, the police investigation went nowhere and her body was never found. Armed with the support of Lauren's parents and never-before-seen evidence that chronicles a cover-up, a botched investigation, conflicting testimony, and new interviews, Cohen leads readers through a gripping narrative before finally shining a light on those often forgotten in true the innocent people left behind. College Girl, Missing will take readers through a minute-by-minute recap of the last hours of Lauren's life, and ask the What happened to Lauren Spierer?

Thank you Netgalley and HighBridge Audio for this audiobook. This book follows the story of Lauren Spierer, a college student who disappeared after a night of partying. I enjoyed the audiobook and found it easy to follow. The narrator fit so much that I thought he was the author. The narrator helped to get me into the story quickly. I wish that the interview at the end could have been actually answered with the authors voice. I feel like it would have made it feel more genuine. As far as the story goes, it was set up as many 20/20 episodes are. It moves between what happens in the past to what is happening in current times. You get a feel for what Lauren's life was like especially since the author was so close to the story. This is a heartbreaking to hear about Lauren's disappearance. I find it hard to review books like this since it is someone's life and I never want to come through as being insensitive. I am rating the audiobook and not the quality of the story.
