A Distraught Family

Within days of the investigation, the family of Lauren attended a press conference in the hopes to find more clues about her disappearance. Not only did they hope to get proof of where she may be, they were thinking that by speaking out, maybe someone who may have had her in custody would let her go. Lauren’s mom, Charlene cried out in distress to the public, “My first thing is to say to the person that has Lauren or that has harmed Lauren, ‘Shame on you. Shame on you.”

Conspiracy Theories

As time went on, Lauren’s family was becoming increasingly alarmed that they wouldn’t be able to find her. They began to wonder if everyone involved with the case was telling the truth. The one person who was allegedly with her for most of the night told reporters, “I was not the last person with her and that’s all I can say, I’m sorry. But I just hope they find her as soon as possible and I pray for her and her family.”
