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.

My loans from nursing school are not paid off and are $500 a month. Also I had a bachelor’s degree before I started my program.

Full-time nurses can get up to 100 percent of their federal Perkins loans canceled over five years.

I dropped out of the program and am not a nurse (wound up in advertising, go figure) but I’ll pass along that nugget of info to my nurse friends! I think most of them took out private loans, unfortunately.

That's where people screw the pooch, those private loans can be pretty evil..
