INDIANAPOLIS – A
federal judge has set a December hearing on a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed
by a missing Indiana University student’s parents against three men who were
with her the night of her disappearance.
Lawyers for the parents of Lauren Spierer and the three men
are to appear before Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on Dec. 2 at the federal
courthouse in Indianapolis.
The lawsuit claims the fellow IU students gave Spierer
alcohol, then failed to make sure the 20-year-old Westchester County native
made it back to her Bloomington apartment safely after a night of partying in
June 2011.
Lawyers for Corey Rossman, Michael Beth and Jason Rosenbaum
maintain the Spierers have no evidence their daughter is dead and that they
weren’t responsible for the safety of an adult.
Spierer’s parents have said publicly that they believe their
daughter is likely dead and have routinely appealed for anyone who knows what
happened to her to come forward.
Meanwhile, city crews in Bloomington have taken down 20
large signs seeking information about Spierer’s disappearance. The signs, which
were scattered across the city, came down last week in a decision by Mayor Mark
Kruzan.
