She was a few years behind me then and nope I didn't know her, didn't hang out in the NY/NJ/CT hangouts for obvious reasons

Fair enough.

And thanks for explaining the dorm thing. I had just assumed one of her friends was living in one so she decided to as well.

I was just looking through an old email exchange and she lived in McNutt and seemed to enjoy it.

There was a chick at Wisconsin who faked her own kidnapping to get back at her ex-boyfriend. Audrey Seiler was her name. They found her living in a marsh. Pretty funny shit.

Pretty sick but hey, what 20 year old girl just voluntarily leaves her phone somewhere like this girl did? Those broads are checking that shit 24/7.....you may be on to something here.

It's definitely strange, however very common at that particular university. The NY, NJ, and CT kids LOVE coming to the midwest for some reason, I'm not quite sure why.

There is a dynamic of 'us vs. them' at IU for sure, in terms of in-state kids vs. east coast kids. They have basically taken over. I'm just as confused as you are.

I lived in Connecticut for a while growing up, and not one kid I knew went to IU. A few went to Wisconsin, but Madison has a different vibe. No one cared about the Big Ten schools. Tons of kids I knew went to Emory. Emory might have more kids form NY/NJ/CT than any other college.
 
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Crystal Grubb had two children and lived in poverty, and when she went missing last September there were no major search parties.

Last seen late at night with friends in Bloomington, her decomposing body was found 13 days later by a farmer in a cornfield just outside of the city. Her homicide remains unsolved.

Her mother, Janice Grubb, who still lives locally, said she's reliving the horror of her daughter's death with the disappearance of Lauren Spierer, a 20-year-old Indiana University student from Westchester, N.Y., who went missing early Friday.

“I'm giving my prayers out to this girl's parents,” Grubb told The (Westchester, N.Y.) Journal News Wednesday. “I mean, I would love to talk to them. I keep praying and hoping they don't find this girl like mine because I don't want that family to go through what I'm going through.”

Janice Grubb, a 48-year-old homemaker, can't write well, so she had her sister-in-law compose a message for her to post on Lauren's Facebook page this week. She sent her well wishes to Spierer's parents and also was hoping to draw the public's attention to her daughter's case in hopes new information will lead to her daughter's killer.

“I am the mother of Crystal Grubb, who was missing in September 18, 2010,” the posting reads. “She was found deteriorated and murdered on October 1, 2010 here in Bloomington. I'm still looking for answers for my daughter's case. If anyone has any information, please contact Monroe County Sheriff's Department. I am deeply sorry that someone else is going through their daughter missing. I hope and pray that she is safe and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family. From Crystal's mom.”

She doesn't begrudge all the effort that's being made to find Spierer, with hundreds of people joining multiple daily searches and daily news conferences to update the public. She just wishes her daughter received the same attention.

“They got a lot more people looking for her,” Grubb said. “We're not getting as much as they get because my daughter wasn't a student and is from a low-income family.”

While students, friends, police and other community members are focused on finding Spierer, some in Bloomington also see the disparity in approach between the two cases.

“It's interesting to see the difference when it's a college student versus a local woman,” said Ashley Mann, 27, a local waitress who knew Crystal from a social services agency. “When Crystal went missing, it was in the newspaper like once. For this, everyone's here and there's posters everywhere, people walking around. Definitely nothing like that was afforded Crystal. I don't want to say it's because she was of a lower economic class, but that's what it seems to me.”

Still, Janice Grubb said she's praying for Lauren and her family.

“My daughter was strangled to death,” she said. “With news about another girl, it's tearing my family apart again. I just want somebody to come forward on Crystal's case and hopefully find the other girl safe. I'd do anything I could do to help these people find their daughter.”

IU's actually a pretty good school. Almost went there but chose to go to OSU.
 
haha

in reality i rarely get angry or stressed in my personal life

the one exception is when it comes to worrying about my child

so yes, if i were the mother here i imagine i'd be fired up

i'd see the handling of this case as a major disrespect to the life of my child

but then again, i'm looking at it as an outsider

maybe if i was at a different socio-economic level, i wouldn't be that surprised to see this disparity at all

maybe her mother can appear to be so gracious and somewhat calm because there's an air of resignation to it all

not sure
