Ten days after an Indiana University student vanished, Bloomington police said Monday they plan to release enhanced security camera video in the hope the public can help identify the vehicle or vehicles that drove through the area around the time the woman disappeared. Lauren Spierer, 20, was last seen walking home alone from a friend's apartment about 4:30 a.m. June 3. Police Capt. Joe Qualters said one—and possibly two—vehicles are visible in video sequences police obtained from cameras near where the Greenburgh, N.Y., native vanished. Police want to talk to the drivers, and if it turns out the footage actually shows one vehicle circling through the area, that would be particularly interesting, he said.

The driver, 29-year-old Christopher Summers, turned up a short time later at a restaurant in the 2500 block of Martin Luther King Drive with a gunshot wound to his left hip. He was treated at Wishard Hospital and released. Summers told investigators a black Monte Carlo with dark tinted windows pulled beside his car and someone fired shots from the open passenger window. He then lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the barrier wall.
