Just wondering if the DNA genealogical tests could be used in cases such as this one? I don't know that much about them but believe that they can provide information about country of origin of relatives. I keep getting emails from one such site claiming that they can trace my paternal line for...

I guess I don't have a lot of faith in the justice system. If that were my son, I'd lawyer him up too, though hopefully he would be more sympathetic to the whole situation.

I agree that she must have willingly got into a car. Along that section of Ocean Blvd. there is one lane going each direction with a bicycle path along the curb sides. I've been to MB many times and can't recall ever seeing cars parked or stopped in the bike lanes. And I also don't see them...

Perhaps she was upset and crying because the perp called her in a jealous rage or was having an emotional breakdown after she went on a date with a new young man? He demanded/begged to see her face to face? And she thought "FINE, it's best if I just go talk to him to tell him it's over!" OR the...

Good points OldSteve, though I do think at age 21 young people might do things that us older folks (speaking of myself) might not do. Like if my daughter wanted to go somewhere bad enough, she would take the chance, especially since she had AAA, which Maura also had.

Yeah, five years ago it wasn't so common for high school students to have smart phones. Even now, not every parent is willing to pay the extra costs associated with Blackberries and Iphones.

I don't think it's strange that the car was on a three hour drive when it was so bad that she needed a new one. My 21 yo daughter is also away at college, and drives around her town in a 2003 Dodge. While at the moment, there isn't anything specifically wrong with it, just within the last few...

Not that it really matters since it's been discounted as being Maura, but that picture telemag posted wasn't the picture that looked so much like Maura. I don't think that is the same woman. The one I mentioned was of someone who was a true look-alike.

I just saw the picture and if it's not Maura, then she has a remarkable look-alike.

I've been reading this forum for years and have kept going back and forth between death from exposure (accidental) and suicide. It could really go either way. Just some random thoughts but I wonder if she might have hung herself on a high tree branch in the woods. A local teen did that a few...

Just thinking out loud here but if it was suicide why would she email her professors and explain her absence and bring her school books? Sounds like she was planning on coming back. Though the fact that her school book was in the car might be unrelated. My 20 yo college student daughter drives...

I'm in MB right now staying at a hotel right by the Bluewater. Yesterday I walked her route to the Bar Harbor. Now I've been to MB often over the years but usually stay on the north end where it's less busy and not so built up. My walk just confirmed my thoughts that there is no isolated spots...

Hi, welcome Emorton! Your English is great. You sound like a native. I don't have the answers to your questions but I'm interested in the answers.

Oh no. I'm completely horrified. Poor Coral, may she rest in peace.

Seems like she at least opened the emergency kit because I think that's where the rag she stuffed in the tailpipe came from according to Fred (I think).

I said 'virtually impossible' not completely impossible. It would be like snatching someone off a busy sidewalk in Manhattan. It's just very public and if a psycho wanted a young girl there would be a lot less conspicuous places in that area to snatch a girl from. I think it's so much more...

As a frequent MB visitor, I also think that it would have been virtually impossible for a stranger to have abducted her by say forcing her into a car, putting a gun to her back, etc. I think it's someone she knew or met down there who offered her a ride and she got in willingly.

I don't think you can make up an account on MyLife, but sometimes you get strange results regardless. For example, when you do a search of my husband's name we get a result for a place in another state. This location is the headquarters of the company he works for. He has a company credit card...

If we assume that the call to the boyfriend was legit and that the man who saw her running was telling the truth, following in the direction she was going, where would she have had to get to in order to get cell phone reception? Can we assume that she had to keep at least walking in order to...

Long time lurker in this case coming out to say that I think that this is a great match. I hope we find out soon!
