More than 11 years have passed since Lauren's disappearance. The IU student vanished after a night out with friends in downtown Bloomington on June 3, 2011.
Charlene said in her Facebook post she dreads certain days that "that underscore the loss."
“I cannot fathom what fate took you from us,” she wrote. “I know time is finite. Your time was unjustly so… This day, for me, is overshadowed by those responsible for your absence. They walk hand in hand with you, reminders of how fragile life can be. How, in an incredible instant a life can be taken without conscience or recourse.”
