(CNN) -- An autopsy Tuesday may shed some light on the case of missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer. The autopsy will be conducted on a decomposing female body that was found in a creek Monday north of Indianapolis, CNN affiliates reported.
Bloomington police have been searching for Spierer, 20, since June 2, when she was last seen leaving a sports bar in the city after a night out with friends.
In mid-June, police found possible new clues to Spierer's disappearance -- images of a white pickup truck caught on a security surveillance video. But they ruled out a connection.
Officials have received thousands of tips but none so far have yielded anything concrete.
In late June, hundreds of volunteers searched a 10-mile area in Indiana in an event called "Find Lauren Day."
Spierer's mother was at the event and thanked the volunteers even though they were not successful.
Charlene Spierer described her daughter as a sweet, bubbly girl.
"Perhaps it was a terrible accident that happened and we can deal with that," Charlene Spierer said in late June. "What we can't deal with is what we don't know. So information is the most valuable thing we need right now."
