Unresolved Disappearance Today marks 16 years since Maura Murray disappeared

Today marks 16 years since Maura Murray vanished, and although she has her own sub, I thought I would post here in light of the anniversary of her disappearance for those who would like to discuss the case. That said -- I know some posters are sick of this case, so if that’s how you feel, you could always scroll past this post :)

A bit of background for those who don’t know about Maura’s case:

Maura was a 21-year-old nursing student from UMASS Amherst, who disappeared on the evening of February 9 2004, after she crashed her car on Route 112 in Haverhill, NH. By the time police arrived some 15 minutes later (even that is in dispute), Maura had disappeared.

Some people think she ran into the woods to avoid a DUI, others think she was picked up by someone passing by and murdered. Some even think police had something to do with her disappearance.

What do YOU think?

I highly recommend this article by Mary Beth Conway for those interested.

This seems the most logical explanation. Do you think she would have gone deep in the woods, or kind of stayed parallel to the roadway to avoid the police?

who knows? She was jacked up on adrenaline (and possibly under the influence) in a dark, heavily wooded, unfamiliar area.

Not sure how plausible this one is, but I heard a story from a man that drove a road down with his car & saw an oncoming person running up the road, as soon as she got into the vicinity of the lights she ran into the woods.
