HOLLY BOBO, LAUREN SPIERER: CHILLING SIMILARITIES

TWO STUDENTS. Two blondes. Both petite. Both 20-years-old. Two young women in the prime of their lives. Two victims? The disappearance of Indiana University student Lauren Spierer on June 3 has chilling similarities to the mysterious April kidnapping of Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo. They look eerily the same and it is raising frightening questions.
Lauren's mom Charlene said: "I can't even tell you what it's like to get that phone call that your daughter is missing." Holly's mom
Karen adds: "I think of her. I love her."
Despite intense efforts in Tennessee and Indiana for the recovery of both young women, cops appear to have hit brick walls despite hundreds of man hours and  hundreds of volunteer searchers. There has been no arrest in either case, although persons of interest have been questioned.
The similarities between the two are so great that many have mistaken the photo of Bobo for Spierer and vice versa. More frightening: it's not just these two women, other students missing around the country fit the same description.
Information leading to the discovery of Spierer, the daughter of a prominent New York family, could bring a $100,000 reward. Bobo's cousin is country singer Whitney Duncan. There is an $85,000 reward offered in her case.

  1. This is not the only disappearance to happen like this. The stories are all different but the victims are college students, high achievers, heavy computer users, and many are computer science or engineering majors.

    The disappearances happen around the world. Look at the story of Peter Kamu, University of Nairobi, Kenya. He walked all the way to Tanzania where he was found in the brush. His rescuer said Kamu was so confused he couldn't tell them who he was. He didn't know what happened to him.

    If Spirer had a Subliminal Distraction episode and survived the onset of the mental break she could be anywhere she could travel without a passport. An alternate scenario is that she had the mental event then wandered away from the path back to her apartment and met trouble blocks or miles away.
