Summit District development, Lauren Spierer book, abortion challenge | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Construction on the 140-acre Summit District neighborhood on Bloomington’s southwest side could start as early as next year, but some are not happy. The development is expected to take 10 to 12 years to finish.

Nearly 13 years to the day of the disappearance of IU student Lauren Spierer, a new book revisits the case. Ahead, we sit down with the author of  College Girl, Missing.

And, we talk with a law professor about the abortion rights case going on in Bloomington.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
