A face on the back of a milk carton? Putting up a flyer? Those methods just don’t cut it anymore. Family and friends of Lauren Spierer, a student from the University of Indiana who went missing last Friday, have launched a viral search involving Facebook, Twitter, and celebrities. Unfortunately, nothing has turned up so far.
Spierer’s friends and family turned to social media to start spreading the word about her disappearance. A virtual missing persons poster is making its rounds via twitpic, and high profile celebrities like Ryan Seacrest and Alyssa Milano have posted Spierer’s picture to their Twitter pages.
A Facebook group has also been started for people to share information about Lauren’s disappearance and an event page has been made to help spread the word about her disappearance.
Here’s a message from the event. You can see the event page here.
“Please click on “Attending” so this event will show up on all your friend’s newsfeeds so they will be made aware of Lauren’s disappearance and what she looks like. Please take the time to click on “Select Guests to Invite”. Thank you!”
