For more than two months, Michael Le has been lost without his sister, “For everyday she is gone, I realize how much I depend on her.” Michael says his family is not giving up hope to find their missing loved one, Michelle Le. Investigators say Michelle vanished on May 27 from the Kaiser Hayward Medical Center in California. She walked outside to her car, and never came back. Based on evidence found, police fear she is a victim of homicide.

Michael says their mother was a nurse practitioner who passed away in 1999, “We both wanted to make our mom proud, our mom was such a strong woman. She (Michelle) finally got accepted into nursing school in September.” She was living with a roommate as she completed her hours for the accelerated nursing program. Michael says his sister was not seriously dating anyone and as far as he knew, she did not have any enemies. At this point, no one has been named a suspect and police continue to interview friends who may have possible leads. Many searches have taken place, some organized by her family

MISSING: Search Continues For Missing Fashion Student, Lauren Spierer

Friday, June 10th, 2011

It has been one week since Lauren Spierer disappeared as she walked home from a night out with friends.  Lauren was last seen at 4:30 a.m.  She was heading back to her apartment complex, but never made it.  Lauren was last seen in Bloomington, Indiana near the corner of 11th Street and College Avenue and investigators feel she is a victim of foul play.

Lauren is a fashion student at Indiana University and was scheduled to start an internship this summer at a Manhattan Anthropologie. Large groups and volunteers have come together in recent days to help with organized search efforts, but so far, there’s been no sign of Lauren.

Lauren’s roommate, Blair Wallach told us that they’ve known one another since they were 9-years-old.  Blair and Lauren met at summer camp in Pennsylvania and have been fast friends ever since.  The pair, along with two other girls, were living in the Smallwood Apartment complex over the last year and they just signed another lease for the upcoming semesters.  Blair says she left to go home to New Jersey and Lauren stayed to take  summer courses for a few weeks.  Lauren has had a boyfriend for two years, but he was not out with her the night she went missing.  Blair said the guy she was with last week, prior to her disappearance, is not someone she had ever met.  She thinks Lauren and the unknown male met during summer semester.
