"We own the landfill, and the FBI wants to search it," Peg Mulloy, spokeswoman for Republic Services, said. "They know why they're searching, and they're going to determine when they're going to start searching."

Republic Services has been talking to the FBI for the past two to three weeks and has provided the agency with the blueprint of the landfill to help in the search, Mulloy said.

The landfill is the destination for trash from Bloomington, location of the university's main campus, where Spierer was last seen in the early morning hours of June 3.
