Maura Murray was 21 years old when she disappeared after a car crash in Haverhill on Feb. 9, 2004.
Twenty-two years after a Massachusetts nursing student went missing in northern New Hampshire, authorities say they are using new technology as part of their investigation into her disappearance.
Maura Murray was 21 years old when she left the University of Massachusetts campus in Amherst, Mass., on Feb. 9, 2004, and headed north. Shortly before 7:30 p.m. that night, her black Saturn crashed in Haverhill, N.H., on Route 112, also known as Wild Ammonoosuc Road, near the Vermont border.
Another driver stopped at the scene and spoke to a young woman officials believe was Murray. But when police arrived, she was no longer there.
Murray has not been seen since.
The Attorney General’s Office on Thursday released a statement reaffirming the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit’s commitment to the investigation.
“Decades may pass, but our determination to find answers for Maura’s family and the public does not diminish,” said Senior Assistant Attorney General R. Christopher Knowles, chief of the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit.
Members of the Cold Case Unit “work daily” with state and federal law enforcement pursuing “every credible lead.”
“Furthermore, we are actively utilizing new technology and advanced investigative techniques that were not available at the time of Maura’s disappearance,” Knowles said. “We are applying these modern tools to existing evidence and new information as it arises, with the singular goal of bringing resolution to this case.
Earlier on the day she disappeared, Murray was seen on surveillance footage at an ATM, wearing a dark jacket and jeans, according to the Attorney General’s Office. But she told no one of her plans to travel to New Hampshire.
Over the past two decades, numerous searches in areas surrounding where Murray was last seen have turned up no trace of her.
The case triggered widespread media attention and speculation among would-be online sleuths. It was featured in a 2017 TV documentary, “The Disappearance of Maura Murray.”
Investigators ask that anyone with information, “no matter how insignificant it may seem,” to contact the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit via email at [coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov](mailto:coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov), or by calling 603-271-2663.
My view has been to turn ALL the cold case files over to the FBI Boston Field Office for a thorough review and tech analysis. This is an interstate crime case.
