I find myself thinking more and more about Mr112Dirtbag. I know he's apparently not a suspect, but there's just one thing that keeps me thinking - that ski resort ticket dated two days after she went missing, which he held onto for so long. Why keep that ticket? Surely news of her going missing...

Yes, my Englishness is showing! You're quite right.

We often try to imagine what Maura was thinking when she left the car, but I think there could be a very serious complicating factor. There was a huge crack on the windscreen of the Saturn above the driver's seat. If that crack was caused by Murray's head, she could have a very serious brain...

I wonder if she intended to drink further in order to muddy a potential breathalyser test from the police. If she had alcohol with her, she could at least claim she started drinking after the accident, but not before. We know there is no phone signal where she crashed, but that the people in...

Renner has a great, engaging writing style. I respect him for keeping interest in Maura's case alive, and I have told him as much in the past. Three years ago, I quit my job to train to become a journalist, and cited his work as one of my influences during my interview. I can state with...

http://mauramurray.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/simple-glaring-detail.html#comment-form From Renner's blog. Firstly, I just want to roll my eyes at Renner using the phrase 'social justice warrior'. He's using that as a way to shut people out of the discussion. Anyone who disagrees with him on...

When trying to visulise what I would do in that situation (after the crash had already happened, presuming Maura had been drinking), I would have grabbed the alcohol so I could get away from the car, find some people to spend the night with, and then drink. That way, if the police caught up with...

She also could have had a few packets of them. In the UK, you often get three month's supply per packet, split into three sheets (one month each). If they are the 21-day sets, were you take a pill for 21 days then have 7 days off, she could have had another sheet with her. There's no harm...

I agree. Part of me wonders if Fred actually really was telling the truth - that is, he really did tell Maura to put the rag there to stop smoke coming out. We spend a lot of time wondering why it got there, but maybe the answer is staring us right in the face - Fred knows nothing about motor...

Vomiting can throw it off (so, drinking too much and puking, or illness, or bulimia, or anything that causes someone to chuck up, can make it ineffective). Also, even if the correct number of pills are missing, it doesn't mean the person was taking them correctly. I know way too many girls who...

Maura could have just been re-reading the book, and that's the chapter she had happened to reach, hense the book mark. It's so incredibly easy to understand the book as just paraphernalia surrounding her favourite hobby. Insisting it's a clue about what happened to her is dismissing the much...

I'm just going to forget all about Fred for a moment. I'm just brainstorming ideas about the rag. Reasonable reasons to put a rag in an exhaust: - To test if there is a leak in the exhaust - Childish prank Crazy reasons to put a rag in an exhaust: - Suicide attempt (very unlikely to...

Ha, amazing. I didn't want to include that in my post, because I didn't want to start this discussion on a bias, but that's been my theory for years. Only real stumbling block to that theory is the fact that Fred must have realised what the rag was for and why it was stashed there, then come...

Does anyone know which exit he took out of the station? I spend a lot of time at KX, but I'm pretty sure the station has undergone a redesign since the disappearance.

Anyone had any further ideas about the rag in the tailpipe? After the second crash, police found a 'rag' in the exhaust pipe. Fred Murray identified it as being from Maura's car, and said that he had told her to put a rag in the tailpipe if it smoked while she drove. However, cars don't run...

The thing is, nobody says it's a coincidence that she owned that book. It's a book about a hobby she loved. It's no coincidence she owned it at all. I own a book about missing people - that's no coincidence, I own it because I'm interested in missing people cases. If I went missing, would that...

I just want to relay a fact I think a lot of people forget. Many people say "What are the chances that Maura just happened to run into a 'predator' that night?" After all, the vast, vast majority of people who crash their cars or behave in unexpected ways don't run into bad people, so what...

Thanks for that info, that's very useful. I agree about Fred's statement - as a hiker, he would almost certainly be aware of paradoxical undressing.

Does anyone have any statistics on suicide by exposure? I know that inherently that would be something that is difficult to correlate, but it might be useful. Personally I'd never heard of the idea before encountering this case, but if there is a precedent, that will be something to be aware of.

Her family would be the most capable of knowing whether she was a light or heavy packer, and what a 'week's worth of clothing' would look like to her. Since Maura went away with them in the past, they would be in the best position to state "that looks like what Maura would pack for a week away".
