Lauren Smith Fields ////// 556Part 1 of 1 www.TrueCrimeGarage.comOn December 12th 2021, 23 year old Lauren Smith Fields dies under suspicious circumstances. The Bridgeport, Connecticut police fail to do any type of real investigation into her death. In fact her family is not notified until a day in a half later. And it wasn’t the police that broke the news to the Fields’ family, it was her landlord. How did this young woman die and why did the detective refuse to investigate? Join us in the Garage as we try to get to the bottom of this one. And as you will see the bottom is the best place to look because the Bridgeport Police Department is about as low down as it gets.
