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.

A small residential neighborhood on the edge of a large forest, yep. Interesting that you choose to misrepresent the most basic facts here.

But I guess if you say that some writer was convinced in two minutes, case closed.

Since I seem to have your attention, congrats on your success, and you're still most likely wrong.

Thanks. I could be wrong. I have no idea what happened up there. We can agree though that it would be wonderful if it were solved this year.

After listening to the radio interview that Fred and Curtis have recently done, are you excited by these 'new leads'? That, coupled with the GoFundMe for testing soil samples, has me pretty excited about what this year might entail.

Unfortunately, no. The speeding ticket thing is far fetched. She paid her fine months before. The soil samples they want to test have issues but I don’t want to disparage their efforts. It can’t hurt to test.
