The '''kidnapping and murder of Lauren Bostic''' occurred in October 2016. Bostic, the 19-year-old stepdaughter of [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]] (UFC) fighter Kevin Rodgers, was reported missing on Sunday, October 23, 2016 (four days after the [[2016 United States presidential debates #October_19_presidential_debate_(University_of_Nevada,_Las_Vegas)|final Presidential debate]] and sixteen days before the [[2016 United States Presidential election|U.S. Presidential election]]).. She had last been seen at a Chevron gas station in Auburn, Alabama, the previous night. A witness from the gas station claims to have seen Bostic's kidnapping. Bostic's body was found in [[Macon County, Alabama]], one month after her disappearance. The cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound. A suspect, identified as '''Cole Curry''', was arrested and charged with Bostic's murder. As of January 2018, Curry is being held in Lee County Jail without bond. A judge has decided that there is probable cause for a grand jury to hear the case. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. |

Bostic's death attracted national attention and media coverage and led to the creation of "Lauren’s Law," which reforms Alabama's bail system. |
|||
==Background== |
|||
'''Lauren Anne Bostic''' (June 23, 1997 - October 23, 2016) was the daughter of Kyle Bostic, a Birmingham businessman, and Heather Bostic, a registered nurse. Heather is currently married to UFC heavyweight fighter Kevin Rodgers. Bostic graduated from Homewood High School in 2015, where she played basketball and softball. At the time of her death, she was a sophomore student at Southern Union State Community College and was majoring in early childhood education. She was planning to transfer to Auburn University. A scholarship in Bostic's memory has been established by Homewood Public Schools. In June 2017, a bench at the Patriot Park in Homewood was dedicated to her. |
|||
==Disappearance, investigation, and arrests== |
|||
A then-nineteen-year-old woman named Lauren Bostic was reported missing to the Auburn Police Department on Sunday, October 23, 2016. She had last been seen by a family member on the evening of Saturday, October 22. Bostic and her female roommate exchanged several [[Snapchat]] messages in the late-night hours. At 11:00 p.m., Bostic informed her roommate that she was close to being home. At 11:10, Bostic told her roommate that she was with a man named Chris, whom she had just met. Bostic's phone activity ended at 11:28 p.m. On June 5, 2017, Auburn police detective Josh Mixon testified at a preliminary hearing that the smartphone died or was powered off in the area of the Clarion Inn on South College Street. Bostic's roommate and parents found her behavior to be "uncharacteristic;" and it is unclear if Bostic herself had, in fact, sent the messages. |
|||
Surveillance video showed Bostic in the Chevron gas station in Auburn in the late-night hours of October 23, 2016. Though Bostic's phone has not been recovered, police were able to use records to trace her phone's movement. The phone left a Murphy Oil gas station and traveled in the direction of Longleaf Drive and Cox Road in Auburn towards a subdivision. It then went down Wire Road to Shug Jordan Parkway back to the area of the Chevron gas station. From there, it went north on South College Street towards Auburn Camp Road for a brief period before going dark in the Clarion Inn area. Bostic's vehicle was last seen on video on a tag reader near Interstate 85, just south of Veterans Boulevard and South College Street. |
|||
Bostic's disappearance resulted in an extensive effort to locate her. By October 30, 2016, a task force of several law enforcement agencies—including the FBI and its then-director [[James Comey]], the Department of Homeland Security, and the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences—was formed. The disappearance and the subsequent effort to find Bostic received national media coverage. On October 25, authorities found Bostic's damaged vehicle. The red 2014 [[Buick Regal]], which police have reported seemed to be "in disarray," had been abandoned near an apartment complex in Montgomery and contained evidence of "foul play"—specifically, blood in the front passenger's seat. The blood, which was confirmed by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences to be that of Bostic, "was indicative of someone suffering a life-threatening injury.” |
|||
On November 9, 2016, the Auburn Police Department released an image from a surveillance video of a "person of interest." The following day, the person of interest was identified as 30-year-old Cole Curry of Montgomery, AL. Surveillance video showed that he was in the store at the same time as Lauren Bostic. He is seen buying alcohol and looking in Bostic's direction. He was also captured exiting the passenger side of Bostic's vehicle. Surveillance video from another gas station showed him re-entering the passenger's side of her red Buick Regal. Bostic and Curry are then seen leaving the station together. In addition to surveillance footage, a witness allegedly saw Bostic and Curry interacting outside the store near her car. |
