You also believe that Maura left for her own reasons. Ok. Having noted that . . . .I don't mean to be rude or to rain on anyones parade but I have some questions:

The bus driver was investigated and cleared, he is well known and respected in the neighbourhood, he phoned the cops because he was worried about Maura, they have investigated him and cleared him.
I am curious as you seem to be quoting from some surce of info which I have not yet seen. Care to elaborate on that source?
cyberlaw said:
Maura was seen after the bus driver, some distance away avoiding any passing cars......
This was confirmed by whom? More confirmed facts are always welcome.

For this scene to be correct: Since the man was married, within the very short time, he would have had to a)abduct Maura without his wife knowing or lveaving any evidence... b) harm Maura without anyone or his wife knowing, seeing, or hearing or leaving any evidence.... c) bury Maura or put her in some other place where no one would see her or hear her(if not harmed) all within 10 minutes...........or less............while the Police were on their way, the Police that he called..........
Without knowing your source of information I can only ask:
How do we know it was 'in a very short time?' We only have his evidence as to when he first saw her according to the skimpy website pages I have seen posted. If he was lying then quite a bit of time might have elapsed between him first seeing her & him calling police. Once we throw out his stated time line and assume he had more time than he let on he then has time to do whatever needed doing (unless other info proves different.) Perhaps it was only after he was done
then he called the police.
Without his wife knowing. . . hmmm was she even home at that time on that day? And I have known of cases where the wife kept silent of her husband's misdeeds.

The bus is used to transport people, do you not think that one of these people would notice something if the bus was involved......please.....
Cite source please. I have not yet read that the bus had any passengers on it at the time the driver allegedly saw Maura. If he was heading home it is conceivable that the bus was empty but I always prefer facts over speculation. (Note: I have 'heard' it said on this forum,although not by you, that the bus was a school bus but have not yet seen that confirmed either.)
cyberlaw said:
how would anyone bury a person in solid frozen ground all within 10 minutes
I have already mentioned that he may have had much more time than he first said. Frozen ground? I have read the temp was about 12 degrees (F?) that day but I have not confirmed that by weather records for the area. But I have not yet heard from anyone that the ground was frozen (not knowing the previous several days temps either) but even frozen ground is not a problem if he actually had more time than he let on in his version of events. There are lots of way the body could have been stored for later disposal and a cold temp actually aids in that endeavour.
In short, While I agree that Maura probably
did disappear on purpose, I also think its fair to admit that the bus driver could have killed her. (unless someone can cite verifiable sources that say otherwise. New verifiable facts are always welcome.)
I can see it
might have happened something like this:Maura plans to disappear for awhile to think things out but has mishap on road. Bus driver finds her and takes her somewhere -probably his own house or maybe a barn if he parks bus in a barn, has his way with her if he wants that and has her & possibly her cash (I never read that the cash was recovered.)
If it was snowing hard & a barn was involved I doubt wife would even have seen anything from 100 yards away and once in a barn her sight would be blocked. But it is also possible even without a barn that wife simply refused to turn her hubby in- either from love or fear or maybe both & that all assumes she was home that day at that time.
Anyway after the deed is done & the body stashed either in the barn (if there was one) or somewhere out of sight (at 12 degrees body might soon be frozen and not have normal decay odor) bus driver has the scene just as he wants the cops to find it so he calls the police. They show up & he gives them his rather implausible story of an almost magic disappearance.
I don't think that's what really happened but until you or someone else comes forth with verifiable sources to prove it didn't happen that way I can't rule it out in my own mind as a possibility.
Thx for your patience.
