The jury trial date in the negligence suit filed by the parents of missing IU student Lauren Spierer is set for May 4, 2015.
The trial will take place in the Birch Bayh Federal Building and United States Courthouse, according to court documents.
Parents Rob and Charlene Spierer filed the suit in late May 2013, claiming Corey Rossman and Jay Rosenbaum — two men believed to have provided Lauren with alcohol the night she disappeared — owed their daughter “duty of care.”
Rosenbaum and Rossman have denied the allegations, according to court documents.
The Spierers previously attempted to seal certain evidence in the lawsuit, but their request was denied. Last week the Spierers’ lawyers subpoenaed entities including Verizon Wireless, AT&T and IU for records.
IU student Lauren Spierer has yet to be located following exhaustive searches since she was last seen in the early morning hours of June 3, 2011.
