Lauren was truly beautiful inside and out and will forever be in our memories.
“Lauren’s thoughtful, caring and loving nature made her endearing to so many during her short life and she had so much more love to give and smiles to share with family and friends in the future. Lauren loved our family dog Poppy, and her little puppy Milly, with the two of them forming such a strong mutual bond in only the short time they sadly had together.Credit: ITV News Central

We have lost a special daughter, with her sister, losing a loving companion and soul mate who wanted to share so many more experiences with Lauren. “We kindly request that the family’s privacy is respected, and we are allowed to grieve for our cherished Lauren in peace at this sad and traumatic time”.Detective Inspector Louise Booker, from Staffordshire Police's Major Investigations Department, said: “Following the launch of our investigation and enquiries conducted by our Major Investigations team, we are treating Lauren’s death as a murder.
