Search for Spierer: Who's who

Lauren Spierer's mom on Wednesday called out her daughter's friends, wanting to know why they're not coming forward on their own to talk to police.

Police say they've interviewed the friends. But Spierer's parents seem to think the friends have more information they can share.

24-Hour News 8's Jay Hermacinski takes a closer look at some of the people at the heart of the matter - Lauren's boyfriend, the student who says he saw her last, and the student who says he doesn't remember a thing. 

Here's a look at some of the people involved in the case:
