INDIANAPOLIS – A lawsuit against two men filed by the parents of missing IU student Lauren Spierer has been dismissed by a federal judge.

The lawsuit claimed the men provided Spierer alcohol and did not verify she made it home safely the night she disappeared, leading to her presumed death.

The judge decided that the parents, Robert and Charlene Spierer, failed to provide evidence showing the men had anything to do with her disappearance.

Lauren Spierer vanished after a night of partying in Bloomington in the early morning hours of June 3, 2011. Despite searches across the campus and region there has been no sign of the Greenburgh, New York native.

There have been no criminal charges filed in her disappearance.
