    It sounds like the murderer was a former boyfriend. Lauren's mother was on the phone with her when she was abducted. What a tragedy for Lauren's family and the track team at the University of Utah.

    Sad. Why would a college student date a 37 year old, even if he didn't have a criminal history?

    Read the whole article next time, she didn't know his age or much else about him and they only dated about a month before she found out and broke up with him.

    Sounds like he lied about the age and criminal history initially.

    Going to be more to this story. Just read she had a "previous relationship" with the killer. A 37 year old sex offender?

    He lied about his age and past. She broke up with in earlier in month but he apparently was using her car because she requested a police escort to get it back and complained of harassment. This all comes from the statement given by her family.

    “Last night a little before 9 pm, she was returning to her university apartment from her night class and talking to me on the phone,” (the mother) said. “Suddenly, I heard her yell, “No, no, no!” I thought she might have been in a car accident. That was the last I heard from her.

    Just awful.

    Not only lied about age and past, even lied about his name. The girl had no chance.

    Yeah, he lied about his age, name and criminal history. He's 37 but passed for late 20s as far as she knew. Once her friend told her the scoop she dumped him. Like many evil, abusive controls freaks he decided to take her life instead of letting her go.

    I saw this around the Internet, tragic news. Murder typically happens between people that know each other, so it wasn't random. The guy either killed himself or was shot by police, not sure if that is conclusive yet.

    Can't even imagine what her mother is going to have to deal with from now on. Then the guy is so selfish and gutless he kills himself. Hard to imagine a more horrible story for the family of this girl

    This breaks my heart. Such a senseless death. I have no idea what is wrong with people to make them do anything like that.
