This makes sense to me. I don't see how the SBD could possibly have had the opportunity to do anything in secret. The SBD-did-it hypothesis would apparently require that he tells his w/gf to call the police first and then proceeds to do something bad.

FWIW: "Phone Call Was Not Maura" http://mauramurray.blogspot.com/2011/07/exclusive-phone-call-was-not-maura.html

James Renner posted the following on his blog: "Before I go much further with posting details of the investigation, I would very much like to post a little more about Maura's life before the disappearance. If you knew Maura, please contact me at becarriedaway@hotmail.com" See...

He interviewed M's shift supervisor about the troubling phone call and ends the entry with this shocker: "She has never spoken to detectives working the case." If that's true, wow! I'm giving this guy the benefit of the doubt.

Can't tell for sure from the photo of the car (link, above), but if someone intentionally parked it in front of a dumpster, that would ensure that it would be noticed on pick-up day. There are plenty of places nearby where a parked car might not be noticed for days, and parking in front of a...

I'm relying on my memory, which may be incorrect, but usually Vermont search warrant returns are public, and usually when a prosecutor tries to seal something and loses, s/he doesn't take it to the supreme court. (I'm sure there are exceptions.) The prosecutor is an elected official and has...

"Two Vermont judges have ruled that search warrants and written statements by police related to the disappearance of William and Lorraine Currier of Essex should be made public, but the documents remain under seal pending an appeal by the Chittenden County State’s Attorney’s Office."...

You may be right... As to the "crime scene" part, declaring it a crime scene may be a legal tactic to allow them to have continued access. From an early story (http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011110609037): "Essex police obtained a search warrant to enter the house...

But the article didn't mention removal of the dumpster. It said "she heard the complex’s trash hauler come and empty the receptacle." (my bold)

http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011110611004 Similarly, regarding LE's removal of the dumpster next to where the car was found, the reporter carefully included an important fact in this earlier article without commenting on it: "Saturday, residents of the...

I thought this was very interesting, both as a fact, and because the reporter may be signaling something by carefully including the detail: "The window of an interior door connecting the garage to the house was smashed, scattering bits of broken glass inside the garage." (my bold). That...

Hard to generalize accurately about VT LE. There are a lot of different components, answering to different authorities and (in the case of prosecutors and sheriffs, who are elected) different constituencies. Some of them are much better than others, of course. The reporters make a real...
