The Bloomington Police Department held a press conference today to clarify a few facts with the press. Lauren's father made a statement as well.

There is no suspect. However, police do have persons of interest, Lt. Bill Parker said. They did not release any names.

"Unless we get a credible lead, we will not look in other counties," Parker said.

Parker said it is possible that Lauren's hair has been cut or colored differently.

He confirmed that police do have Lauren's cell phone. Lauren left her cell phone and shoes at the bar the night of her disappearance.
