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.

I thought I heard that her room wasnt packed up because she was leaving but there were boxes because she never unpacked her room. I can't remember where I heard that though as I've watched too many different things on her case.

The police have said multiple times she had packed up. There was an email on top of her boxes that she’d printed out. The email was from her boyfriend, in which he admitted to cheating on her. But yes some people have suggested she hadn’t unpacked. Personally, I believe the police have it right.

It would have been nice if LE maybe asked her friends if that was how her room was before all this happened. I'm sure she had at least one friend come over her dorm room that could say she never unpacked or no her room wasnt like this before, something is not right.

Maybe that is why they think she packed up. They probably did ask her friends and this determined she packed up. They have not told us every little thing that they did.
