That they didn't do a rape kit was negligent in the extreme and downright incompetent. Good detectives say every sudden death should be investigated as a homicide until proven otherwise.
It is so obvious to almost everyone that she was murdered. She was found floating with no water in her lungs but was ruled a drowning?? It seems like she was killed at the campsite and then placed in the water by the 3 people she was with. The sheriff’s department doesn’t want to investigate further because they know it is a murder and don’t want the negative publicity placed on there communities BIG money making “Wake Fest”. Any reputable law enforcement agency would have definitely done a rape kit on her regardless of a tampon being present because a woman can absolutely be r*ped while wearing a tampon!! That ladies husband is definitely correct when he said that the tampon would have been a wealth of evidence and DNA. Again the sheriffs department didn’t due a rape kit on her because it would bring negative publicity to their Wake Fest event and may deter people from attending it for fear of getting r*ped and murdered and they do not want to lose out on their huge money maker. Very immoral, irresponsible and corrupt of them to be complicit in covering up a crime!!!
My husband used to be an investigator for a sheriffs department in Colorado, and also once dove with search and rescue and he said that body from the photos looked "fresh" and not like she drowned 24+ hours prior and was in the water that whole time. Also, he said that tampon would have been a wealth of DNA evidence had she been raped. Saying she couldn't be raped because of a tampon was ridiculous....he said that was a lazy sheriff's department! My husband has one theory that the triangle mark is coming from her possibly trying to get back into a canoe, and that's why the triangle is upside down, shes fighting to get back into the canoe, and someone hit her on the head. He said the facts are only that she died from blunt force trauma. She didn't fall from the cliff and she was found in the wrong place. He was also interested in the banding marks across her abdomen....
Your husband is right on the money! It's a very popular place 4 Springbreakers aka teens and young adults partying, drinking and doing drugs and other other water sports and they MUST keep that Great Reputation alive and having an suspicious murder investigation in the media and bad for the county and the famous popular hangout. Pure Evil 😈 people! I'm glad ur husband sees through the bs. I was very shocked they didn't do a rape kit and dna as well. I like to know if there's any connections to the police or a friend of a friend who knows the parents of these 3 people who doesn't want to tell the truth. I believe if they get the girl alone and lock her in a room and have a soft female talk to gently she will break and tell the truth even if they were all drinking or drunk. Sooner or later u start to remember things over time and in time. Just like childhood memories. You only remember certain things and it's usually because it was a tragic event or something happened and our minds will block it out to protect us from the truth and the pain. I think you and ur husband should reach out to this hurting family and try to help and provide any help u guys can. It would mean a lot to the family and it shows you do care and support them. Help them fight for justice and to keep other families from going through this terrible tragedy. There's no telling how many cases get covered up by that office department. Any one of us could be the next victim or our own children. I have a teenage girl 17 and I can't help to but be a helicopter Mom and she hates it. I track her location on the LIFE360 free mobile app! She will understand one day I'm just keeping her safe and I'll always always protect her from this evil and crooked world of wrongdoingers.
@jimwerther would probably be more evidence of the police did their job and investigates properly. Too many crimes go unsolved, too many criminals run free because of bad policing and negligent investigations
Why in the hell do they have a camp site with a dangerous hammock to sleep in? I think it's plausible she fell, but still, friends guilty for deceiving her saying they had a cabin when they didn't
Reopen this case!!!! Those 3 are guilty and someone is paying off the Sheriff’s Department to keep hush. There’s no way they can be that negligent unless they’re being told to.
I’m pretty sold on the fact she was murdered. Not one of the people she went there with went to her funeral. If that’s the case you’re either a really shitty friend, or you knew what happened. Running away from the questions as well. None of this adds up and I’m shocked the police were so quick to rule out foul play. This is ridiculous. I pray they find out what happened. What a strong mom.
A drowning would have water in the lungs.. and a missed opportunity to find the killers. Wan was missed in not checking the tampon. Which would of had DNA on it.
Friends and family may have requested they stay away. If I thought a group of “friends” were the cause of my darling girls death I’d tell them to stay the f away from my family
@@emilinebelle7811Yeah, they’ve changed this story for dramatic purposes. I didn’t know the kids, but met Sherri & have mutual friends. One, what happened to Lauren is AWFUL, but it was an accident. They were drinking all day then we to sleep on a cliff in the middle of the night. No Momma deserves to go through this & I pray they’re all able to find peace. If anyone is interested, there’s been multiple videos done of this case. This one def points to foul play but the others do not. Tragic all around!
Lol. you dont have a clue how the law works and that is as clear as day. You cant just file a case with the supreme court genius! It has to make its way through every lower courts before they will even entertain it and that takes north of 5 years. now, at this point with salt water involved and the evidence being processed ie the morgue , that evidence would already have been contaminated so exactly what would her mother gain from reopening the case even it were true that she could go to the supreme court when water contaminate evidence? If you want to get your dna off someone then you clean the body. Now, even if one of them dna was inside her, would that have been rape? I guess in your head, people dont drink, make out, and bang each other during these things. I dont know what planet you live on but I am a hundred percent certain that these types of parties are full of banging and one night hook up. Been there, seen it, and good thing no one died since you would want them charged with rape
Just the fact that one of the guys instagram post said "The best Weekend EVER!!!" How demented is that???? Even if they were new friends, or not very close friends, if a "friend" or even a new friend died mysteriously in the night, in your company...that normally would be shocking, devastating and traumatic! Not "The best weekend EVER!" I hope this case is reopened, and her family gets answers and has closure! 💗🙏🌺
I mean, there’s a possibility she does have the answers, she’s just not accepting them. There are so many things that could have happened, including what was the final cause of death.
If that were my friend that fell over a cliff I would be distraught! I would of went home, consoled her mother, WENT TO HER FUNERAL! Something else happened and those 3 are guilty! I hope they can be charged and put on trial! Disgusting how they’re acting especially HANNAH!!!!
Yes, in a normal situation anyone would do that but it seems like this mom and everyone else automatically assumed those 3 had something to do with it and I wouldn’t doubt if they were questioning them and accusing them and so they felt like it was best not to go. Not saying that they aren’t guilty or something, that’s definitely also a high possibility, just saying don’t look into them not going that much because there are always reasons people don’t go to funerals. I didn’t go to my best friends or my grandmas funerals and I loved both of them more than anything, I just can’t do funerals and that isn’t how I wanted the last time I “saw” them to be. Personally I do think they were involved in some way with her death, good chance it was not intentional, but could also be murder or could also have just been her drunk and it was dark on a cliff and she just made took wrong steps. What I do know is the sheriffs department did a shit job not even making the slightest attempt to make sure foul play wasn’t involved. Atleast that’s how it seems.
Agreed. My good friend died recently and I was disturbed and mourning for months (still am) real friends don’t post “what a great weekend” when their friend “mysteriously” dies and not even attend the funeral. The police report also hiding something, and know more than they’re leading on about. Disgusting.
I saw this story a while back. I can't believe there is no one the family can go to to get this case reopened. The police failed at their job, no proper report, the ME failed by not noting every single mark on victim's body. When they stated she got that triangle mark from the boat used to take victim to marina, someone should have taken pics of the boat. This case is so, so sad. I can't believe the law is able to get away with a crappy job in their investigation. 🙏
The biggest thing that stands out to me is that none of them went to her funeral. Who does that? Especially the girl her mom said was a friend in between boyfriends. I had one like that in high school. But, they should not be considered friends.
Same. I remember this case from awhile ago. Sad. Who puts up a campsite like that?! Extremely dangerous and iffy. I think one of the guys either tried or did rape her and all hell broke lose. That girl didn’t stand a chance on that cliff 😖
@@Jasmine215100 Hannah pleaded the 5th of course she's responsible she was likely jealous of Lauren Chris wanted her hell, even Hannah's bf wanted her but Lauren was the type of girl that knew what she wanted out of life. All Hannah knows how to do is party & spread her legs Lauren was a classy gal her mom is furious that Hannah & her cohorts are hiding the truth.
@@Jasmine215100That's quite possible. Maybe Lauren was disliked by a few people that collaborated in her death. Many things in life resonate beauty but are extremely toxic.
Something is terribly wrong when a police department doesn't give a rat's butt about such blatant indications of murder! That whole department is lazy, incompetent and uncaring about this girl's life - right down to the medical NON-examiner!
They don't want the blemish on their tourism trade. Sheriff thinks he is being a hero. Imo, this is extremely prevalent today, anywhere, and among the worst, most immoral behaviors a person can engage in.
Over 6 years fighting for Justice for my daughter murdered in Houston !!! RIP Tiffany Nicole Allen 9/10/2017 24 years old !!! Cops, detectives and " judges " don't care , they just want that paycheck !!!
Imagine doing all of this and those people are actually telling the truth and are innocent and she really did fall off a cliff and now she’s pretty much ruined innocent peoples lives just because the family couldn’t accept the fact their daughter was not some perfect angel and she happened to be drunk and in a dangerous spot. Nobody knows if those 3 or one of the 3 had anything to do with her death except those 3 and the girl that died. But as far as I’m concerned, they are innocent and need to quit being harassed. In this country you are innocent until proven guilty and even if they did it, we will never know and that is because of the lack of effort the police wanted to put into it to find out if there was any foul play involved. Right now the police are the ONLY ones that should be getting harassed and questioned by the family, friends, or just anyone that believes it wasn’t actually an accident. If those 3 had something to do with it then investigate it, come up with the evidence to prove it, and convict them, otherwise they are innocent.
Not these days. Violence against women has been a problem since the beginning of recorded existence. It won’t get better until the public is better educated on domestic/sexual violence and more abusers face justice for their crimes.
You have a friend who disappeared during the night and her so called friends didn’t look for her?? Instead they went partying again. Even though her stuff is still there? What callous people. How does she have a bite on her?
If I woke up and my friend was gone , I would have called the police immediately, I wouldn’t rest , I wouldn’t party ….those were not friends and sounds like a serious cover up , wonder who these kids are connected to
Yup, sadly thats how it is, I'ved had a similar experiance years ago where I was denied help in the middle of the night by a so-called in which my only option was to walk home in the middle of the night....
@@jimwerther Do you feel better commenting on something that is already inferred?! I don't understand people who HAVE to make a comment on the OBVIOUS?!
@@katylaurahenriksen8651 No, Lauren died in 2015. Perhaps the commenter means to say that it has been enough time for the mom to get it out of her system.
I slept on a hammock with my boyfriend long ago. Lauren was sleeping on a hammock with this stranger, according to Anna G. There's no way in hell that one person can get off, let alone fall off, without the other person either falling off (if asleep) of definitely knowing that one or the other is voluntarily getting off! Police incompetence to do the right thing! Didn't want to prove murder as that would taint the reputation of the marina!
That's what i was saying! One person cannot get out of a hammock without disturbing the other person so much that they would wake up. Not to mention if she fell, she would have been screaming for help. They all would have woke up.
I once saw someone die, someone I barely knew at all, and didn't go to the funeral. Did I kill him? He was an old man who died of a massive heart attack.
@@jimwerther and how do we know you didnt kill him? 😂 You're probably sitting in prison right now, and have a lengthy PSYCHOPATHIC criminal history becoz you clearly TALK LIKE ONE!
I’m a retired police detective with more critical incident investigations than I can remember. This is a very suspicious case. I don’t know what that other boat looks like, but that triangle on her abdomen look like a pretty good match to a canoe.
I don’t get why the ones who were suspected in Lauren death didn’t get teeth impressions to see if it matched with the bite marks on her body. It’s just poor police work
True, but what would it prove? That the person bit her, not really proof that they killed her. Maybe they didn’t see the point. It’s possible the bite mark was made during a drunken consensual intimate encounter, no laws against that and no way of proving that it wasn’t.
It's disgusting that the Sheriff's department can't or won't be bothered to investigate this case. My thoughts go out to her mother. I pray that she gets justice for her daughter's murder.
Fact is .. no dna tests , no sa report done….. shows already they want to close case asap.. with no further evidence or case to further on…. This ain’t right…. Hopefully justice be done
I am a retired LE Detective and regardless whether we thought it was an accident or not, we first would treat the body as a homicide and a rape kit and DNA and fingernail swabs are done as standard procedure at my department when a body is found. Also, much care is given in recovering the body so as not to contaminate the body with such things as marks as in the angled impression on her chest. In other words if that mark was documented by the coroner that mark would not be there due to our handling of the body. Clearly the Dekalb Co. Sheriff is either lazy, incompetent, lacks training and experience or all of the above.
Death*** … don’t call it murder when there’s no evidence showing she was murdered 🙄🤦♂️. You can’t bring up your personal feeling about something that you have no clue on.
So called "friends" + jealousy/rejection = this. It's incredibly unfortunate and we've seen this before. I'm so sorry for her family. R.I.P. Lauren. I Hope and Pray you get Justice.❤
This can be the outcome when you are beautiful + great personality. Choose your friends wisely, pay attention to the little things plus any gut feeling you might have when it comes to friendships.
The mother composed herself so well through this entire episode. Couldn't imagine how torn up she was inside having to rehatch and talk about this again for the media. I hope the family one day heals from everything and can live a somewhat happy life.
Don't go on trips with people who don't care about you -- and you for them. We've all been on trips we probably shouldn't have gone on or didn't have the money for real accomodations. Many of us are lucky to have made it back safely. What a sad story.
well put. Years ago I went to a party with a guy I had gone to high school with who had reconnected with me years later on FB. I think because I did not want to get intimate with him, when it was time to go he left me on a remote island and wouldnt let me ride home with him. Some people just do not have a heart or care about others at all.
It takes a few years to listen to and follow your intuition when a good time is on the line. We’ve all been there. We learn to listen to our guts the older we get.
*Lauren* was most DEFINITELY murdered. I hope & pray the truth comes out! Those are some pure evil so called friends of hers!!! My deepest condolences to Lauren’s family. 😓🙏💝
@@jimwerther Blahblah - same old comment. Yes, we do know she was murdered based on the evidence, lazy police work, and 3 lying criminals who can't keep their stories straight. I get that you're a family member or one of the liars themselves, but you are convincing nobody.
I lived in Ft Campbell Kentucky about 18yrs. And know exactly this place and partied there before. It really sounds like Hannah probably told her new boyfriend to bring his friend because she knew a pretty girl she could bring. Or her boyfriend told her to find a girlfriend to bring for his friend. And Lauren knew nothing of it and probably didn't like dude. That literally happened to me so many times and I did get put in a bad situation when I was 15yrs old, out of town for cheer camp, and someone had promised some 22 yr old that I'd be his date for the night, in exchange for some pot. When it got late the dude tried to take me to his car, to a hotel room and I was like wtf do you think you're doing? He acted confused and said did you not know we were together for the night? That he literally "bought" me from one of his friend's. I almost feel too overprotective of my children and I worry a lot. But then stuff like this reminds me that I need to be.
easy to see what happened to her. she got hit on by that one guy and he got mad, her friends telling her to hook up with him. she doesnt, he gets mad at her and kills her. they all work together to dispose of her body. silence is golden. i sure hope one of them slips up and confesses. RIP young lady.
It’s pathetic that the people she rode to the lake with and their families didn’t attend the viewing or the funeral. What kind of people do this ? I know she was murdered
Whoa have not made it that far yet when I read this comment and that says it all to me . Bc even if I knew the framily was upset bc of the way we handled the scene but I knew I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH IT ID be right there to pay my respects to my friend no matter what! Nothing would keep me from saying good bye
There lack of attendance speaks VOLUMES. It also would have involved "acting" for hours (with all eyes on them) and they didn't think they could pull it off
My best friend in Jr high/ Highschool died in car wreck 6 total ppl in van flipped of bridge got erryone but 1 out went back for D but he was pinned . When arriving at hospital his family hugged thanked and showed me love bc I was only one that went back into try pull him out but after he passed they all turned on me! Went so far as to ban me from funeral. Said it was for family only yet allowed a couple other friends from school attend
@@jimwertherThere are more facts that support murder than there are an accidental drowning. And when people change their story on what happened, that’s a HUGE red flag.
@@KatherineLaura6564 It’s real easy to make such ignorant (borderline sociopathic type) comments when it’s not your family member who was killed. If these 3 people were involved in the death of one of your family members, would you still make the exact same comment you did? You know damn good and well that you wouldn’t (Tell me I’m wrong). And for the record, if you would make the same comment than you are a closet sociopath.
I've followed this story since it happened and my heart goes out to Lauren's family. They way they have been treated after losing their beautiful daughter in such a horrific way is heartbreaking. Clearly someone up there that night couldn't take no for an answer. How sad that they put their own wants before the life of this beautiful young woman. I pray that justice finds all who were involved soon. If this is the only coverage you've seen, find the others...there's more evidence than shown here. They took her life and have gotten away with it.
“Someone up there couldn’t take no for an answer”? So now you’re just assuming that is what happened with absolutely no evidence that points to that? Ever heard of the “innocent until proven guilty” statement? Yeah, you should learn it and stop just assuming someone did something wrong when you have no proof whatsoever of it. There are so many different things that could have happened and none of them are more likely than the other.
Stop accusing people of murder when you weren’t there and have no clue. Imagine if someone you were near died that night and you had nothing to do with it and people started saying you are a murderer? I bet you wouldn’t like it too much, would you?
@@davidbiagi2932it’s obvious that the dude in the hammock couldn’t take no as an answer the cop who noticed the triangle was insinuating it, the private investigator women was too, they were all hinting to it because it’s pretty obvious that’s what happened. They just can’t say it and get sued by the dude. If it was really an accident, the kids wouldn’t make up a story about her falling down the cliff into the water where they proved that to be physically impossible. Not to mention the sociopath said “best weekend ever” a day after she died. Are you dumb ?
@@davidbiagi2932 as I said, follow the case. You're doing exactly what you're accusing me of doing...assuming things. You are assuming they're innocent in spite of what the evidence shows. You weren't there either. Or were you? Please don't think your keyboard warrior status will silence anyone. I will give my opinion when I want to. They did something horribly wrong to this girl and are hiding it. Believe what you want, say what you want, but don't presume to tell me what to do.
I'm wondering which one, Hannah, Aaron, or Chris has family in whichever office, capable of a cover-up to protect their own! I've never heard of someone transporting a body face down..(assuming she was put inside a body bag to protect evidence), at the VERY LEAST it would be considered disrespectful...but I could be wrong. It's obvious Lauren was not just a beautiful woman, she was a beautiful soul..sending my prayers to her family..this will be a much darker world without her in it..
I've never heard of a body being transported face down... it's absolute disrespect. It also wouldn't have changed anything CSI wise as long As really good pics were taken of her in the water and as soon as she was removed- not that they've used them for anything AT ALL. This is a terrible tragedy made worse by shoddy police work. I think the guy she "shared" a hammock with wanted more than she did and when it wasn't given to him, he took it- hence the bruising on her thighs... broken fingers etc... and once he took it, he knew he had to kill her- so he hit her with a rock and tossed her down, and maybe he went down and drug her into the cove where he thought it would be late( after the weekend was over) when she was found. Unfortunately, like her mother said, it's going to take one of them developing a conscience - maybe having a child of their own one day...before the truth is told.
This exactly!!! The upmost care was not provided for Lauren following her death! Someone knows something and I hope this episode is haunting the thoughts of whoever knows that happened and comes forward!!
She's not "headed back to the bar" without shoes or cell phone. It sounds like the police and coroner screwed up and now trying to save face. My sincere, most heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
1)Innocent people don't plead the 5th 2)With friends like Hannah, who needs enemies 3)The two guys are scumbags, one of whom killed her & the other is covering it up 4)The DeKalb law enforcement officers who dropped the ball by not doing a rape kit (because she had a tampon inserted) should be fired for incompetence
@@melmc9672 you need to add "I think" to your statement. If you're going to say something like that, maybe have some stats to back it up. If you watch enough First 48 or other crime shows, the investigators painstakingly make sure they get the right person.
Just a strong hunch here, but i think the guy in the hammock with her tried to put the moves on when she was basically passing out.. she freaked out and denied him, so he pushed her out of the hammock (before or after attempted sexual assault) resulting in very serious injury or possibly death. Then this guy freaked out and either finished the job or moved her body to the cove - or both. Probably with the help of his male friend. And the other female may have assisted or been intimidated into corroborating their story. Theres no way she simply fell out of the hammock and into the lake, all while not waking the male occupant of the hammock and then drifted against the current into that cove. Suspicious is a MASSIVE understatement here!! WTF is wrong with these corrupt cops???
To y’all in the comment section, why do y’all think that all of Lauren’s friends are involved? I think it’s murder also, but I’m unsure about all of Lauren’s friends being involved.
The kid in the hammock with Lauren should be ashamed he looks like he's full of himself. He knew deep down he'd never have a chance to go out with her so out of sheer hate the worst happened.
She was so pretty. I absolutely believe her "3 friends" had something to do with it. I don't believe it was "accidental" Sad. I hope her mom finds justice someday. Something definitely happened to her. She did not drown.
This case reminds me of the case of Shanquella Robinson. Went out with her friends and even though they recorded her own friends beating her in a México vacation hotel. That group of supposed friends were never charged for anything. So sad you can’t even trust on friends.
With Shanquella we saw the assault on camera and they still got away with it. Her “friends” got some street justice. Hopefully these “friends” get a taste of it too.
I was in law enforcement and majored in criminal psychology and its a known fact when people repeatedly says "to be honest" or "honestly", they are trying to convince you that they are being honest when they are in fact not. It's extremely common in interrogations for people to answer questions this when they are lying. This is criminal psychology 101.
Absolutely 100% agree. Like looking to the left or covering the mouth with the hand? They exibited the same behaviors as are typically seen by a guilty spouse after a suspicious death of their significant other? No emotion, no cooperation, and no involvement!
@@Steven-gv1ke He said it only once? I can see where saying it repeatedly is a red flag, but I will say "to be honest," when I'm actually being honest.
YES INDEED ITS SAD 😢 BUT THEY WERE NOT HER FRIENDS AND BELIEVE ME THE LORD KNOWS EXACTLY WHO AND EXACTLY WHAT AND EVERYONE INVOLVED WILL PAY LORD HAVE MERCY PLEASE ON HER MOTHER AND HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS🙏🙏🙏😭
Many people use the term "friend" too easily. At best some were acquaitances. Why go to a secluded dangerous area with people you barely know, including two men?
Nope. You just have to follow your instincts. Use common sense, which is lacking in most young people. You must sit in your house frightened daily, now that’s sad.
The investigator said the vile posts disparaging her were TRACED back to Hannah’s IP and her house. Also Why were text messages deleted from her phone? “All Sherry ever wanted, she said, is for her daughter's death to have been properly investigated. Instead, when deposed under oath lead investigator, Jeremy Taylor, was forced to admit he had done 'nothing.' The crime scene was trampled and unprocessed, key texts were erased from Lauren's phone, 911 audio was lost, notes were not taken, recordings were never made of interviews with witnesses and not a single DNA test was conducted.”
Wow! That is crazy. The police botched this investigation and this Lauren and her family deserve justice. There are too many things that do not add up. I truly hope nothing good comes to Hannah, Aaron or Chris. I hope they get exactly what they deserve. The police aren't going to help Sherry resolve this because they don't want to look bad.
Kassi is a bad friend. Lauren asked her if she could go to sleep in her room and Kassie said there was NO space. Really? I would have my friend sleep even on the floor but never leave her drunk on a mountain. Bad friend
Lauren’s mother is not all she had because Public wants to know the truth. If this ever happens again to someone else it would be disgusting. This is a clear cover up.
Lol. people get drunk every day, hook up, have sex, and sometimes get killed while that process is in play. Go look at the number of people who go missing yearly
@@katylaurahenriksen8651I was thinking of that too... police ruled out so fast... autopsy is not consistent and refused to use the rape kit... I thought thats sop.
She was murdered and I get the feeling it was by someone who was jealous of her.. as the mother said she had it all, good looks, boyfriend, was in college, had a loving family.. you’d be surprised how there are people out there that are severely jealous instead of happy for people that have a good life. This is so sad and deserved a long happy life. I pray for Justice for the family🙏🏼❤️
There are people who are down right psychotic over jealousy… i had a “friend” who secretly hated me since the day she introduced herself to me… slowly morphing into every detail about my life… it was bizarre and sad
Y'all idiots!! What the hell does jealousy have to do with anything? Wasn't nobody jealous of that girl... they were all drunk and jumping off cliffs. Her friend was the only other girl, and I doubt she was jealous of her own friend. Even if she was, it didn't have ANYTHING to do with the FACT that they were ALL acting stupid and drunk. THAT In itself is probably the reason why the girl would have ended up in a position to be put in danger! Y'all need to stop 🛑 and think before you open your mouth. Jealousy has NOTHING to do with anything 😡
The friend that described how scary the campsite was, described how intoxicated she was and said that Lauren asked to go with her group but they didn’t let her?! That’s sad.
It’s not her responsibility to take care of her GROWN friend/acquaintance. Lauren should have made better decisions for herself that night. Lauren is responsible for Lauren & nobody else. It’s very sad that she died though. Short of murder, it’s nobody’s fault she died.
@@lemonadelemonspinklemons okay but if I knew my friend was intoxicated and she wanted to come with me, I would tell her yes with no hesitation. That’s what real friends do watch out for each other.
*I love that mom!* She reminds me so much of my mom & I know if I ever passed under shady circumstances; my mom would be just as *defiant* & *determined* to find out what happened. RIP 💟
Omg, heartbreaking. A parent's worst nightmare. This poor mother. The indignation from the miscarriage of justice. Useless so called friends and sheriff. I showed this to my daughter. I hope she will never gather at a place like that with a lot of alcohol and psychopathic young people. It is terrifying.
As a mother this hurts to watch, and you can definitely sense foul play!!!! I was screaming at the screen because i feel even in my heart that she was murdered ain't no way she fell. Karma on them so called "friends" and not one showed up to her funeral just plain EVIL. I pray my kids never run into people like this. I'm so sorry. May she rest in peace. This should have never happened. The truth shall come to the light. Never stop fighting and being her voice ❤
Hate how they esit these 10 minute videos into 30 plus minutes videos which basically just repeat the same stuff over and over then give you one new piece of info and then go again.
This is a case that’s haunted me for years! I have a daughter(whose name is Lorin) who is a few years younger than Lauren and I’ve never been able to get the thought of my daughter going through what she did that night out of my head. It’s pretty obvious she was murdered and moved afterward. Those three “friends” of hers know more than they’re telling. I believe one or more of them are guilty of murder and I pray they are caught! My heart goes out to Lauren’s family, especially her Mom. 😢❤
I agree with Lauren's parents. The people that Lauren was with knew more than they were letting on. I think the police department didn't look into this case as well as they should have. Mental to note to many people: BE CAREFUL who you call friends.
I think Hannah smashed Lauren with a rock after the guy she wanted ended up wanting Lauren instead of her. Then they put Lauren on the canoe and dumped her in the cove. All 3 are in on the crime and need to be questioned. The sheriffs office is just lazy and incompetent.
This story is always brought up and I still can’t believe her friends ain’t in jail every time. The imprint on her stomach is enough to show she didn’t just fall off a cliff
Needs to be reopened and investigated!!! These people need to be questioned! That poor girl what she went through what she was thinking, she’s a human being!!! Her mum is her voice and it needs to be heard! And it’s right what people say be careful who you call a friend! They weren’t her friends! Not at all!!!
There is nothing to indicate foul play, I get why the mom is still investigating, the cops weren't very thorough, but there is no motive, she seemed happy in her last photo, there's no reason why her friend who definitely appeared upset in questioning would cover up for a guy she barely knew, the dummy down the cliff does not fall like a real body would, it also doesn't simulate it likely being very dark which would have made it very hard for her to climb back up that hill. The presenter even said how hard it was to climb up the hill in the daylight and with the rope, it would have been even harder to do if she had stopped at some point during the fall, it's possible she may have decided going downhill would be easier and then fell even further with it being dark. The cops even explained how the triangle was on her body, they said it matched the measurements matched up perfectly from when they recovered her. Again, I totally get why her mom is still investigating it, the cops didn't do the best job. And they're wise to plead the fifth, there is a good video on why even innocent people should plead the fifth, the Supreme Court has even said on of the fifth amendments basic functions is to protect the innocent.
She’s a strong Mum and I think she’ll get to the bottom of this, she has the detective on her side too 🙏🏻 the truth will come out eventually…to all the youngsters out there ‘please be careful who you hang out with and remember if you feel uncomfortable in a situation just leave..please listen to your gut’ let’s hope karma gets the 3 ‘scumbag friends’ 🙏🏻
AMEN I HOPE THEY NEVER EVER FIND PEACE ITS A DAMN SHAME HOW PEOPLE DO DON'T HAVE NOTHING IN THERE HEART HOW CAN THEY BE SO COLD BLOODED AND TREAT HER THAT WAY MY LORD PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEY SINS IN JESUS NAME AMEN🙏🙏🙏
If you’ve nothing to hide, You’ve nothing to fear! If none of these 3 talk then they’re hiding something. With friends like Hannah, who needs enemies?!
✨I can’t believe this case is still unsolved…. It might take a couple of decades but I guarantee you one of them eventually is going to talk. Probably when the couple breaks up… sending prayers to mama (& family) for some sort of resolution and justice for her daughter who was so stunningly beautiful (inside and out) like her mother! I bet you she turned down the advances of that other guy, the one that she was supposed to share a hammock with. And oh my God!, for that imbecile that said she couldn’t have been raped because she had a tampon in, how absolutely ridiculous of a statement that was, of course you can still be raped. Duh!, Where do babies come from? And you’re trying to say my tiny little tampon would stop a rape, you ought to be fired for such a stupid stupid statement. All the cases you’ve touched need to be we investigated. My condolences to mama, sister and all the friends and family, this is such a tragedy, a parents worst nightmare that we always fear when our kids go off in their young 20s. 🕊♥️🇨🇦🙏🏻♥️🕊
This case is so sad and heartbreaking. There’s no doubt in my mind Lauren was murdered. Sucks no one has been bought to justice. All the love and peace to her family ❤
How sad, a mother lost her child and the police don't care. I lost my youngest daughter in a car accident, there is no greater pain to lose your child, specially when selfish nasty humans killed her, and the police just don't care, very sad 😢😢😢
My mom lost my brother in a car accident he was 19 years old this kid drove my brother car went 110 lost control and my brother and friend died except the driver, I’m sorry about your daughter it’s just sad
That they didn't do a rape kit was negligent in the extreme and downright incompetent. Good detectives say every sudden death should be investigated as a homicide until proven otherwise.
EXACTLY
And how does it say "drowning" if there was no water in her lungs??
Lazy lazy lazy.
It is so obvious to almost everyone that she was murdered. She was found floating with no water in her lungs but was ruled a drowning?? It seems like she was killed at the campsite and then placed in the water by the 3 people she was with. The sheriff’s department doesn’t want to investigate further because they know it is a murder and don’t want the negative publicity placed on there communities BIG money making “Wake Fest”. Any reputable law enforcement agency would have definitely done a rape kit on her regardless of a tampon being present because a woman can absolutely be r*ped while wearing a tampon!! That ladies husband is definitely correct when he said that the tampon would have been a wealth of evidence and DNA. Again the sheriffs department didn’t due a rape kit on her because it would bring negative publicity to their Wake Fest event and may deter people from attending it for fear of getting r*ped and murdered and they do not want to lose out on their huge money maker. Very immoral, irresponsible and corrupt of them to be complicit in covering up a crime!!!
They were stupid yes but she was in the water.. could have not been able too..
My husband used to be an investigator for a sheriffs department in Colorado, and also once dove with search and rescue and he said that body from the photos looked "fresh" and not like she drowned 24+ hours prior and was in the water that whole time. Also, he said that tampon would have been a wealth of DNA evidence had she been raped. Saying she couldn't be raped because of a tampon was ridiculous....he said that was a lazy sheriff's department!
My husband has one theory that the triangle mark is coming from her possibly trying to get back into a canoe, and that's why the triangle is upside down, shes fighting to get back into the canoe, and someone hit her on the head.
He said the facts are only that she died from blunt force trauma. She didn't fall from the cliff and she was found in the wrong place. He was also interested in the banding marks across her abdomen....
Bingo
So potentially happened on the way back to the cliffs
Your husband is right on the money! It's a very popular place 4 Springbreakers aka teens and young adults partying, drinking and doing drugs and other other water sports and they MUST keep that Great Reputation alive and having an suspicious murder investigation in the media and bad for the county and the famous popular hangout. Pure Evil 😈 people! I'm glad ur husband sees through the bs.
I was very shocked they didn't do a rape kit and dna as well. I like to know if there's any connections to the police or a friend of a friend who knows the parents of these 3 people who doesn't want to tell the truth.
I believe if they get the girl alone and lock her in a room and have a soft female talk to gently she will break and tell the truth even if they were all drinking or drunk. Sooner or later u start to remember things over time and in time. Just like childhood memories. You only remember certain things and it's usually because it was a tragic event or something happened and our minds will block it out to protect us from the truth and the pain.
I think you and ur husband should reach out to this hurting family and try to help and provide any help u guys can. It would mean a lot to the family and it shows you do care and support them. Help them fight for justice and to keep other families from going through this terrible tragedy. There's no telling how many cases get covered up by that office department. Any one of us could be the next victim or our own children.
I have a teenage girl 17 and I can't help to but be a helicopter Mom and she hates it. I track her location on the LIFE360 free mobile app! She will understand one day I'm just keeping her safe and I'll always always protect her from this evil and crooked world of wrongdoingers.
I think the guy in the hammock did it. The triangle is from when he put her dead body in the canoe.
Thank u for giving an expert info from a someone in that field of expertise... Ur husbands analasys makes sense..

Ikr.... money buys alot of things/ppl amazing what ppl would do for a few bucks...... sad... Karma
I’m pretty sold on the fact she was murdered. Not one of the people she went there with went to her funeral. If that’s the case you’re either a really shitty friend, or you knew what happened. Running away from the questions as well. None of this adds up and I’m shocked the police were so quick to rule out foul play. This is ridiculous. I pray they find out what happened. What a strong mom.
A drowning would have water in the lungs.. and a missed opportunity to find the killers. Wan was missed in not checking the tampon. Which would of had DNA on it.
Friends and family may have requested they stay away. If I thought a group of “friends” were the cause of my darling girls death I’d tell them to stay the f away from my family

Crime on camp party and no rape test done. Ridiculous. The mother should go to supreme court to reopen the case.
Lol. you dont have a clue how the law works and that is as clear as day. You cant just file a case with the supreme court genius! It has to make its way through every lower courts before they will even entertain it and that takes north of 5 years. now, at this point with salt water involved and the evidence being processed ie the morgue , that evidence would already have been contaminated so exactly what would her mother gain from reopening the case even it were true that she could go to the supreme court when water contaminate evidence?
If you want to get your dna off someone then you clean the body. Now, even if one of them dna was inside her, would that have been rape? I guess in your head, people dont drink, make out, and bang each other during these things. I dont know what planet you live on but I am a hundred percent certain that these types of parties are full of banging and one night hook up.

Seriously disgusting. 😢
@@unsocialbutterfly5760 Exactly!
that statement says alot The best Weekend EVER says I did it and I am going to get away with it!
I’m glad this is getting coverage. This case was suspicious and not investigated properly. Her poor family.
This poor mama! I couldn't imagine how heartbroken she is, then on top of it not having the answers she needs. This is such a sad case! RIP Lauren 🕊
I mean, there’s a possibility she does have the answers, she’s just not accepting them. There are so many things that could have happened, including what was the final cause of death.
If that were my friend that fell over a cliff I would be distraught! I would of went home, consoled her mother, WENT TO HER FUNERAL! Something else happened and those 3 are guilty! I hope they can be charged and put on trial! Disgusting how they’re acting especially HANNAH!!!!
I don’t have faith that any woman knows how to act rationally anymore, but sure yea you would do that.
Yes, in a normal situation anyone would do that but it seems like this mom and everyone else automatically assumed those 3 had something to do with it and I wouldn’t doubt if they were questioning them and accusing them and so they felt like it was best not to go. Not saying that they aren’t guilty or something, that’s definitely also a high possibility, just saying don’t look into them not going that much because there are always reasons people don’t go to funerals. I didn’t go to my best friends or my grandmas funerals and I loved both of them more than anything, I just can’t do funerals and that isn’t how I wanted the last time I “saw” them to be. Personally I do think they were involved in some way with her death, good chance it was not intentional, but could also be murder or could also have just been her drunk and it was dark on a cliff and she just made took wrong steps. What I do know is the sheriffs department did a shit job not even making the slightest attempt to make sure foul play wasn’t involved. Atleast that’s how it seems.
Agreed. My good friend died recently and I was disturbed and mourning for months (still am) real friends don’t post “what a great weekend” when their friend “mysteriously” dies and not even attend the funeral.
The police report also hiding something, and know more than they’re leading on about. Disgusting.
Ditto.
One of them even posted,"best weekend ever",unbelievable,smh...
Can you sue the police department for not investigating the scene properly?
I’m wondering if this was lazy police work or if they are covering for the kids that did this to her
@@kimberlyvillanueva25I was wondering the same thing!! A cover up!
I saw this story a while back. I can't believe there is no one the family can go to to get this case reopened. The police failed at their job, no proper report, the ME failed by not noting every single mark on victim's body. When they stated she got that triangle mark from the boat used to take victim to marina, someone should have taken pics of the boat. This case is so, so sad. I can't believe the law is able to get away with a crappy job in their investigation. 🙏
They transport bodies face down, draped over a boat storage locker? Just seems.....idk - wrong
The biggest thing that stands out to me is that none of them went to her funeral. Who does that? Especially the girl her mom said was a friend in between boyfriends. I had one like that in high school. But, they should not be considered friends.
Same. I remember this case from awhile ago. Sad. Who puts up a campsite like that?! Extremely dangerous and iffy. I think one of the guys either tried or did rape her and all hell broke lose. That girl didn’t stand a chance on that cliff 😖
@@floridagurl40That's my thought. I wouldn't have camped there. Hammocks on a tree over a cliff? No way.
and even if rescue had put her body on the boat they wouldve just carelessly throw her body on the boat hanging over the side ???

" With friends like that, who needs enemies? "

Completely agree 100% Mothers just know, they truly do.
Not true, but hey she knew her daughter is a attention loving partying woman that's banging dudes she ain't married to, not like she was a saint ppl

I think her friend Hannah is responsible for Lauren's death! What kind of friend does this?
@@Jasmine215100 Hannah pleaded the 5th of course she's responsible she was likely jealous of Lauren Chris wanted her hell, even Hannah's bf wanted her but Lauren was the type of girl that knew what she wanted out of life.

I will never understand the thought and decision making process of women, I just know that I’m still alive and these types of women are not.
Imagine doing all of this and those people are actually telling the truth and are innocent and she really did fall off a cliff and now she’s pretty much ruined innocent peoples lives just because the family couldn’t accept the fact their daughter was not some perfect angel and she happened to be drunk and in a dangerous spot. Nobody knows if those 3 or one of the 3 had anything to do with her death except those 3 and the girl that died. But as far as I’m concerned, they are innocent and need to quit being harassed. In this country you are innocent until proven guilty and even if they did it, we will never know and that is because of the lack of effort the police wanted to put into it to find out if there was any foul play involved. Right now the police are the ONLY ones that should be getting harassed and questioned by the family, friends, or just anyone that believes it wasn’t actually an accident. If those 3 had something to do with it then investigate it, come up with the evidence to prove it, and convict them, otherwise they are innocent.
Not these days. Violence against women has been a problem since the beginning of recorded existence. It won’t get better until the public is better educated on domestic/sexual violence and more abusers face justice for their crimes.
They’re all in on it. Their phones should be seized and searched, and the case should be reopen. Also, the sheriff should be fired.
You have a friend who disappeared during the night and her so called friends didn’t look for her?? Instead they went partying again. Even though her stuff is still there? What callous people. How does she have a bite on her?
If I woke up and my friend was gone , I would have called the police immediately, I wouldn’t rest , I wouldn’t party ….those were not friends and sounds like a serious cover up , wonder who these kids are connected to
This tragedy breaks my heart. I send prayers and condolences to Lauren, her family, friends, and anyone who knew her. ♥️🎚️💐
I am also mad at the other friend who didn’t allow her to stay in her room, even though it was crowded, knowing that she was scared

I slept on a hammock with my boyfriend long ago. Lauren was sleeping on a hammock with this stranger, according to Anna G. There's no way in hell that one person can get off, let alone fall off, without the other person either falling off (if asleep) of definitely knowing that one or the other is voluntarily getting off!

I’m a retired police detective with more critical incident investigations than I can remember. This is a very suspicious case. I don’t know what that other boat looks like, but that triangle on her abdomen look like a pretty good match to a canoe.
I don’t get why the ones who were suspected in Lauren death didn’t get teeth impressions to see if it matched with the bite marks on her body. It’s just poor police work
Exactly!
"Police work" is an oxymoron.
White privilege
True, but what would it prove? That the person bit her, not really proof that they killed her. Maybe they didn’t see the point. It’s possible the bite mark was made during a drunken consensual intimate encounter, no laws against that and no way of proving that it wasn’t.
Corrupted or incompetent in my opinion. Who knows? They might be covering up for the kids.
It's disgusting that the Sheriff's department can't or won't be bothered to investigate this case. My thoughts go out to her mother. I pray that she gets justice for her daughter's murder.
Fact is .. no dna tests , no sa report done….. shows already they want to close case asap.. with no further evidence or case to further on…. This ain’t right…. Hopefully justice be done
They don't want to admit to an initial sloppy job! But she was someone's daughter...to them she was simply "work".
I am a retired LE Detective and regardless whether we thought it was an accident or not, we first would treat the body as a homicide and a rape kit and DNA and fingernail swabs are done as standard procedure at my department when a body is found. Also, much care is given in recovering the body so as not to contaminate the body with such things as marks as in the angled impression on her chest. In other words if that mark was documented by the coroner that mark would not be there due to our handling of the body. Clearly the Dekalb Co. Sheriff is either lazy, incompetent, lacks training and experience or all of the above.

well put. Years ago I went to a party with a guy I had gone to high school with who had reconnected with me years later on FB.

Nope. The FBI only gets involved in specific situations, such as an incidents that run across state lines, as well as kidnappings.
I lived in Ft Campbell Kentucky about 18yrs. And know exactly this place and partied there before. It really sounds like Hannah probably told her new boyfriend to bring his friend because she knew a pretty girl she could bring. Or her boyfriend told her to find a girlfriend to bring for his friend. And Lauren knew nothing of it and probably didn't like dude. That literally happened to me so many times and I did get put in a bad situation when I was 15yrs old, out of town for cheer camp, and someone had promised some 22 yr old that I'd be his date for the night, in exchange for some pot. When it got late the dude tried to take me to his car, to a hotel room and I was like wtf do you think you're doing? He acted confused and said did you not know we were together for the night? That he literally "bought" me from one of his friend's. I almost feel too overprotective of my children and I worry a lot. But then stuff like this reminds me that I need to be.
easy to see what happened to her. she got hit on by that one guy and he got mad, her friends telling her to hook up with him. she doesnt, he gets mad at her and kills her. they all work together to dispose of her body. silence is golden. i sure hope one of them slips up and confesses.

Guilt. Only guilt stops someone from paying their last respects.
There lack of attendance speaks VOLUMES. It also would have involved "acting" for hours (with all eyes on them) and they didn't think they could pull it off
My best friend in Jr high/ Highschool died in car wreck 6 total ppl in van flipped of bridge got erryone but 1 out went back for D but he was pinned . When arriving at hospital his family hugged thanked and showed me love bc I was only one that went back into try pull him out but after he passed they all turned on me! Went so far as to ban me from funeral. Said it was for family only yet allowed a couple other friends from school attend

If these 3 people were involved in the death of one of your family members, would you still make the exact same comment you did? You know damn good and well that you wouldn’t (Tell me I’m wrong). And for the record, if you would make the same comment than you are a closet sociopath.
I've followed this story since it happened and my heart goes out to Lauren's family. They way they have been treated after losing their beautiful daughter in such a horrific way is heartbreaking. Clearly someone up there that night couldn't take no for an answer. How sad that they put their own wants before the life of this beautiful young woman. I pray that justice finds all who were involved soon. If this is the only coverage you've seen, find the others...there's more evidence than shown here. They took her life and have gotten away with it.
“Someone up there couldn’t take no for an answer”? So now you’re just assuming that is what happened with absolutely no evidence that points to that? Ever heard of the “innocent until proven guilty” statement? Yeah, you should learn it and stop just assuming someone did something wrong when you have no proof whatsoever of it. There are so many different things that could have happened and none of them are more likely than the other.
Stop accusing people of murder when you weren’t there and have no clue. Imagine if someone you were near died that night and you had nothing to do with it and people started saying you are a murderer? I bet you wouldn’t like it too much, would you?
@@davidbiagi2932it’s obvious that the dude in the hammock couldn’t take no as an answer the cop who noticed the triangle was insinuating it, the private investigator women was too, they were all hinting to it because it’s pretty obvious that’s what happened. They just can’t say it and get sued by the dude. If it was really an accident, the kids wouldn’t make up a story about her falling down the cliff into the water where they proved that to be physically impossible. Not to mention the sociopath said “best weekend ever” a day after she died. Are you dumb ?
@@davidbiagi2932 as I said, follow the case. You're doing exactly what you're accusing me of doing...assuming things. You are assuming they're innocent in spite of what the evidence shows. You weren't there either. Or were you? Please don't think your keyboard warrior status will silence anyone. I will give my opinion when I want to. They did something horribly wrong to this girl and are hiding it. Believe what you want, say what you want, but don't presume to tell me what to do.
I'm wondering which one, Hannah, Aaron, or Chris has family in whichever office, capable of a cover-up to protect their own! I've never heard of someone transporting a body face down..(assuming she was put inside a body bag to protect evidence), at the VERY LEAST it would be considered disrespectful...but I could be wrong. It's obvious Lauren was not just a beautiful woman, she was a beautiful soul..sending my prayers to her family..this will be a much darker world without her in it..
I've never heard of a body being transported face down... it's absolute disrespect. It also wouldn't have changed anything CSI wise as long
As really good pics were taken of her in the water and as soon as she was removed- not that they've used them for anything AT ALL. This is a terrible tragedy made worse by shoddy police work. I think the guy she "shared" a hammock with wanted more than she did and when it wasn't given to him, he took it- hence the bruising on her thighs... broken fingers etc... and once he took it, he knew he had to kill her- so he hit her with a rock and tossed her down, and maybe he went down and drug her into the cove where he thought it would be late( after the weekend was over) when she was found. Unfortunately, like her mother said, it's going to take one of them developing a conscience - maybe having a child of their own one day...before the truth is told.
Oh SHUT UP! How do you know WHAT kind of soul she was?? You don't know NOTHING about NOTHING regarding this case!
This exactly!!! The upmost care was not provided for Lauren following her death! Someone knows something and I hope this episode is haunting the thoughts of whoever knows that happened and comes forward!!
She's not "headed back to the bar" without shoes or cell phone. It sounds like the police and coroner screwed up and now trying to save face. My sincere, most heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
Those guys are some terrible human beings. Innocent people don’t refuse to talk
An unfortunate situation made from poor choices. Many of us were young once and probably should have been dead. But we got lucky and we’re still here.
💯💯
1)Innocent people don't plead the 5th
2)With friends like Hannah, who needs enemies
3)The two guys are scumbags, one of whom killed her & the other is covering it up
4)The DeKalb law enforcement officers who dropped the ball by not doing a rape kit (because she had a tampon inserted) should be fired for incompetence
A lawyer will tell you to not talk to the cops even if you are innocent
Yes, innocent people who listen to their attorney DO plead the fifth
@@shaneharris9818and you better listen,the majority of cops do not care if they get the right culprit,only if they arrest SOMEONE
@@melmc9672 you need to add "I think" to your statement. If you're going to say something like that, maybe have some stats to back it up. If you watch enough First 48 or other crime shows, the investigators painstakingly make sure they get the right person.
@@lettucesalad3560 I work for a Defense Attorney and have enough experience to know my statement is absolutely correct
Just a strong hunch here, but i think the guy in the hammock with her tried to put the moves on when she was basically passing out.. she freaked out and denied him, so he pushed her out of the hammock (before or after attempted sexual assault) resulting in very serious injury or possibly death. Then this guy freaked out and either finished the job or moved her body to the cove - or both. Probably with the help of his male friend. And the other female may have assisted or been intimidated into corroborating their story.
Theres no way she simply fell out of the hammock and into the lake, all while not waking the male occupant of the hammock and then drifted against the current into that cove.
Suspicious is a MASSIVE understatement here!!
WTF is wrong with these corrupt cops???
Probably the most accurate comment out of everyone’s
She was murdered, and I hope they prove it
Absolutely! I remember this case and her "friend" and the friend's two loser friends are involved.
@@michelleadams474 Yes, I think they killed her
@@Hunter225it’s more than clear
To y’all in the comment section, why do y’all think that all of Lauren’s friends are involved? I think it’s murder also, but I’m unsure about all of Lauren’s friends being involved.
@@MrSiBrum They weren't her friends, she only knew the one girl. They killed her, there isn't anything else possible
The kid in the hammock with Lauren should be ashamed he looks like he's full of himself. He knew deep down he'd never have a chance to go out with her so out of sheer hate the worst happened.
She was so pretty. I absolutely believe her "3 friends" had something to do with it. I don't believe it was "accidental" Sad. I hope her mom finds justice someday. Something definitely happened to her. She did not drown.
I think the friend “ who couldn’t fit her in “ was very jealous of her
Yes, and she had the nerve to say she was worried about her.
😮😮😮yup
💯💯💯
So true. Was thinking the same.
Absolutely! Lauren was a beautiful girl. Hannah was an also ran JMHO. 🤷🏻♀️
This case reminds me of the case of Shanquella Robinson. Went out with her friends and even though they recorded her own friends beating her in a México vacation hotel. That group of supposed friends were never charged for anything. So sad you can’t even trust on friends.
With Shanquella we saw the assault on camera and they still got away with it. Her “friends” got some street justice. Hopefully these “friends” get a taste of it too.
The same thing I said smdh
That because it isn’t true friendship from the beginning😥
Is the sheriff in on it?!?! What the fuck is going on with this case?? How neglectful.
Sounds like a cover up by the sheriffs department, not wanting a murder to ruin their weekend and the friends definitely are involved
Incompetence isn’t a coverup.
@@mmay6621
🎯
@@mmay6621it becomes one once you realize you screwed up, but stay silent rather than do anything to help make it right.
@@mmay6621 Too much going on for them to claim incompetence. They knew what they were doing.
I was in law enforcement and majored in criminal psychology and its a known fact when people repeatedly says "to be honest" or "honestly", they are trying to convince you that they are being honest when they are in fact not. It's extremely common in interrogations for people to answer questions this when they are lying. This is criminal psychology 101.
He says this at 21:45
Absolutely 100% agree. Like looking to the left or covering the mouth with the hand?
They exibited the same behaviors as are typically seen by a guilty spouse after a suspicious death
of their significant other? No emotion, no cooperation, and no involvement!
I use that word a lot when I want them to believe me when I am completely honest.
@@Steven-gv1ke He said it only once? I can see where saying it repeatedly is a red flag, but I will say "to be honest," when I'm actually being honest.
I was thinking the same thing.
Let there be Total Justice for Lauren!!! ❤🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏼
At this point...a trip with friends is a red flag... You may not come back alive😢😢
YES INDEED ITS SAD 😢 BUT THEY WERE NOT HER FRIENDS AND BELIEVE ME THE LORD KNOWS EXACTLY WHO AND EXACTLY WHAT AND EVERYONE INVOLVED WILL PAY LORD HAVE MERCY PLEASE ON HER MOTHER AND HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS🙏🙏🙏😭
WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING ?????? @@frankieward4304
Many people use the term "friend" too easily. At best some were acquaitances. Why go to a secluded dangerous area with people you barely know, including two men?
Nope. You just have to follow your instincts. Use common sense, which is lacking in most young people.
You must sit in your house frightened daily, now that’s sad.
What a horrifying notion!
The investigator said the vile posts disparaging her were TRACED back to Hannah’s IP and her house.
Also
Why were text messages deleted from her phone?
“All Sherry ever wanted, she said, is for her daughter's death to have been properly investigated.
Instead, when deposed under oath lead investigator, Jeremy Taylor, was forced to admit he had done 'nothing.'
The crime scene was trampled and unprocessed, key texts were erased from Lauren's phone, 911 audio was lost, notes were not taken, recordings were never made of interviews with witnesses and not a single DNA test was conducted.”
Wow! That is crazy. The police botched this investigation and this Lauren and her family deserve justice. There are too many things that do not add up. I truly hope nothing good comes to Hannah, Aaron or Chris. I hope they get exactly what they deserve. The police aren't going to help Sherry resolve this because they don't want to look bad.
This is why she will win her wrongful death lawsuit..
All to cover up I stupid boat show or lake party where stupid drunk ppl come to party talk about justice smh.
Poor girl was murdered. Then placed in the water. And those kids she was with know what happened. 🤬🤬🤬
Appears instead of friends, she had frenemies. Deepest sympathy to the victim, loved ones & family.
Having an open heart and being incredibly beautiful is almost a curse. She just wanted to have fun but was surrounded by demons.
Kassi is a bad friend. Lauren asked her if she could go to sleep in her room and Kassie said there was NO space. Really? I would have my friend sleep even on the floor but never leave her drunk on a mountain. Bad friend
I've been hearing about this case for several years,I was hoping it had been solved by now
Thank you for reporting on this case, something is definitely off here
#LaurenAgee
#JusticeforLaurenAgee
Lauren’s mother is not all she had because Public wants to know the truth. If this ever happens again to someone else it would be disgusting. This is a clear cover up.
I'd suggest they look into whether any of those other 3 kids had "connections" who might help them cover up
You're both talking out of your rear ends
Lol. people get drunk every day, hook up, have sex, and sometimes get killed while that process is in play. Go look at the number of people who go missing yearly
@@katylaurahenriksen8651I was thinking of that too... police ruled out so fast... autopsy is not consistent and refused to use the rape kit... I thought thats sop.
My questions are for the sheriff. Foul play is coming from them, how are they ignoring and closing a case so easily.
Because it's "just" a young woman partying. That's what I think.
Who’s the boy involved connected to, there are so many unanswered questions
These people are just like the cold weather in this country. Friends like those you don’t need enemy.
So sad. She was beautiful, talented, and happy.
She chose the wrong friends.
@@diapricea4888 Friend, if you could call her that, the two loser guys were not her friends, they were her "friend's" friends.
Her so called friends were not happy they had her life cut short
@diapricea4888 meaning, what?
@@lichiehrb Yes sounds like they're blaming her, besides only the girl was her friend, unfortunately.
My heart goes out to the poor Mother! I’m so close with my daughter! I can not imagine the sheer anguish this dear woman endured!
If she would have fallen, wouldn't she have had scratches from the trees?
She was murdered and I get the feeling it was by someone who was jealous of her.. as the mother said she had it all, good looks, boyfriend, was in college, had a loving family.. you’d be surprised how there are people out there that are severely jealous instead of happy for people that have a good life. This is so sad and deserved a long happy life. I pray for Justice for the family🙏🏼❤️
There are people who are down right psychotic over jealousy… i had a “friend” who secretly hated me since the day she introduced herself to me… slowly morphing into every detail about my life… it was bizarre and sad
Jealousy is as cruel as the grave.
Y'all idiots!! What the hell does jealousy have to do with anything? Wasn't nobody jealous of that girl... they were all drunk and jumping off cliffs. Her friend was the only other girl, and I doubt she was jealous of her own friend. Even if she was, it didn't have ANYTHING to do with the FACT that they were ALL acting stupid and drunk. THAT In itself is probably the reason why the girl would have ended up in a position to be put in danger! Y'all need to stop 🛑 and think before you open your mouth. Jealousy has NOTHING to do with anything 😡
Yeah the cop that is still obsessed with the case and the girl.
She had a boyfriend but chose to sleep in a hammock with another guy. Ew.
The friend that described how scary the campsite was, described how intoxicated she was and said that Lauren asked to go with her group but they didn’t let her?! That’s sad.
Thank you! I just stated the same. She’s so cold!
Fake friend! Stay away from those type.
Yes!!! I'm suprised there's not much comments on that!!!
It’s not her responsibility to take care of her GROWN friend/acquaintance. Lauren should have made better decisions for herself that night. Lauren is responsible for Lauren & nobody else. It’s very sad that she died though. Short of murder, it’s nobody’s fault she died.
@@lemonadelemonspinklemons okay but if I knew my friend was intoxicated and she wanted to come with me, I would tell her yes with no hesitation. That’s what real friends do watch out for each other.
*I love that mom!* She reminds me so much of my mom & I know if I ever passed under shady circumstances; my mom would be just as *defiant* & *determined* to find out what happened. RIP 💟
Omg, heartbreaking. A parent's worst nightmare. This poor mother. The indignation from the miscarriage of justice. Useless so called friends and sheriff. I showed this to my daughter. I hope she will never gather at a place like that with a lot of alcohol and psychopathic young people. It is terrifying.
What a sad and painful case to watch! Wishing you strength as you seek justice for your lovely daughter ❤
I really hope her mom keeps fighting for justice and that the three criminals are charged with capital murder.
Imagine your hammock cuddle buddy died and you post 'best weekends ever'
Yeah he sounds like a total scum bag. Actually all 3 do. Such AHoles
RIP young lady. How awful for her mother and family too.
I hope they get justice soon.
As a mother this hurts to watch, and you can definitely sense foul play!!!! I was screaming at the screen because i feel even in my heart that she was murdered ain't no way she fell. Karma on them so called "friends" and not one showed up to her funeral just plain EVIL. I pray my kids never run into people like this. I'm so sorry. May she rest in peace. This should have never happened. The truth shall come to the light. Never stop fighting and being her voice ❤
Absolutely
Amein.🙏
Hate how they esit these 10 minute videos into 30 plus minutes videos which basically just repeat the same stuff over and over then give you one new piece of info and then go again.
They just paraphrase it’s hilarious
My heart goes out to her mama. She deserves to get the truth!
This is a case that’s haunted me for years! I have a daughter(whose name is Lorin) who is a few years younger than Lauren and I’ve never been able to get the thought of my daughter going through what she did that night out of my head. It’s pretty obvious she was murdered and moved afterward. Those three “friends” of hers know more than they’re telling. I believe one or more of them are guilty of murder and I pray they are caught! My heart goes out to Lauren’s family, especially her Mom. 😢❤
I agree with Lauren's parents. The people that Lauren was with knew more than they were letting on. I think the police department didn't look into this case as well as they should have. Mental to note to many people: BE CAREFUL who you call friends.
I think Hannah smashed Lauren with a rock after the guy she wanted ended up wanting Lauren instead of her. Then they put Lauren on the canoe and dumped her in the cove. All 3 are in on the crime and need to be questioned. The sheriffs office is just lazy and incompetent.
Sumner county is usually not like that. One of the kids must of had a parent that worked for them
I love how the YT experts "solve" these crimes based upon...absolutely nothing. What a crock of shit.
Sounds logical
My heart aches for her mom, family and friends who truly love her. 💔🙏
*Really sad and heartbreaking*
So sad ,I'm so sorry for your loss. And I believe jealousy played a part in her death.
The most likely suspect is one of the young men in my opinion.
This story is always brought up and I still can’t believe her friends ain’t in jail every time. The imprint on her stomach is enough to show she didn’t just fall off a cliff
Needs to be reopened and investigated!!!
These people need to be questioned!
That poor girl what she went through what she was thinking, she’s a human being!!!
Her mum is her voice and it needs to be heard! And it’s right what people say be careful who you call a friend!
They weren’t her friends! Not at all!!!
There is nothing to indicate foul play, I get why the mom is still investigating, the cops weren't very thorough, but there is no motive, she seemed happy in her last photo, there's no reason why her friend who definitely appeared upset in questioning would cover up for a guy she barely knew, the dummy down the cliff does not fall like a real body would, it also doesn't simulate it likely being very dark which would have made it very hard for her to climb back up that hill.
The presenter even said how hard it was to climb up the hill in the daylight and with the rope, it would have been even harder to do if she had stopped at some point during the fall, it's possible she may have decided going downhill would be easier and then fell even further with it being dark.
The cops even explained how the triangle was on her body, they said it matched the measurements matched up perfectly from when they recovered her.
Again, I totally get why her mom is still investigating it, the cops didn't do the best job.
And they're wise to plead the fifth, there is a good video on why even innocent people should plead the fifth, the Supreme Court has even said on of the fifth amendments basic functions is to protect the innocent.
@@internetmarketingtim I think there's obviously a possible sexual motive, may not have been the case, but cannot say there was no motive.
She’s a strong Mum and I think she’ll get to the bottom of this, she has the detective on her side too 🙏🏻 the truth will come out eventually…to all the youngsters out there ‘please be careful who you hang out with and remember if you feel uncomfortable in a situation just leave..please listen to your gut’ let’s hope karma gets the 3 ‘scumbag friends’ 🙏🏻
What's wrong with that mom? My mom would never have let me go to something like that, I'd hate her for awhile but I would be alive
May the family find justice. Those 3 will never have a day/nights peace until they tell the truth.
Sadly, they are likely sociopaths without a conscience. It won’t bother them. Their actions make me think this is likely.
AMEN I HOPE THEY NEVER EVER FIND PEACE ITS A DAMN SHAME HOW PEOPLE DO DON'T HAVE NOTHING IN THERE HEART HOW CAN THEY BE SO COLD BLOODED AND TREAT HER THAT WAY MY LORD PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEY SINS IN JESUS NAME AMEN🙏🙏🙏
@@frankieward4304 Yes!! exactly. Pure evil.
@@giorgismama8024 That’s what’s truly upsetting. You’re right and that’s why they refuse to talk.
If you’ve nothing to hide, You’ve nothing to fear! If none of these 3 talk then they’re hiding something. With friends like Hannah, who needs enemies?!
That's hilarious,you better fear every time you speak to cops ,you obviously don't know much about law enforcement
@melmc9672 not every cop is crooked. Just because you might have had a bad experience, doesn't mean everyone is going to.
There is a reason why innocent people are convicted of crimes they did not commit.
Broken nose, broken fingers, bruising on thighs. That’s suspicious as hell!😮
✨I can’t believe this case is still unsolved…. It might take a couple of decades but I guarantee you one of them eventually is going to talk. Probably when the couple breaks up… sending prayers to mama (& family) for some sort of resolution and justice for her daughter who was so stunningly beautiful (inside and out) like her mother!
I bet you she turned down the advances of that other guy, the one that she was supposed to share a hammock with.
And oh my God!, for that imbecile that said she couldn’t have been raped because she had a tampon in, how absolutely ridiculous of a statement that was, of course you can still be raped. Duh!, Where do babies come from? And you’re trying to say my tiny little tampon would stop a rape, you ought to be fired for such a stupid stupid statement. All the cases you’ve touched need to be we investigated.
My condolences to mama, sister and all the friends and family, this is such a tragedy, a parents worst nightmare that we always fear when our kids go off in their young 20s.
🕊♥️🇨🇦🙏🏻♥️🕊
yeah mama Gabriella.
How did he know she had a tampon in? Thats a woman's private business Wow
This case is so sad and heartbreaking. There’s no doubt in my mind Lauren was murdered. Sucks no one has been bought to justice. All the love and peace to her family ❤
How sad, a mother lost her child and the police don't care. I lost my youngest daughter in a car accident, there is no greater pain to lose your child, specially when selfish nasty humans killed her, and the police just don't care, very sad 😢😢😢
My mom lost my brother in a car accident he was 19 years old this kid drove my brother car went 110 lost control and my brother and friend died except the driver, I’m sorry about your daughter it’s just sad
