Maura's car likely wouldn't start after she wrecked, (because of a safety mechanism built in the car) but she very likely may not have known that. I believe a theory law enforcement had was that Maura plugged her tailpipe after the wreck as a way to try and take her own life. But once she...

the lead investigator has also stated that the most likely scenario is that Maura caught a ride with someone out of the area. I don't know why he would throw that out there, if they truly believed Maura didn't make it but a few hundred feet from where she had her car accident.

The one wrong house to go to after the wreck to seek help in that area, IMO, would've been that of the contractors. However, it's tough to believe this info. Police have been to that residence twice since the contractor moved out and have had permission to search the grounds by the new...

It wasn't about Maura's execution of a suicide. it was about what the lead investigator of her disappearance believed the rag in the tailpipe meant and what happened when he brought that up to Fred. and why fred gave such a weird (explain it away) type of answer. Maura's car may not have...

it almost really doesn't matter. Because the lead investigator on the case is actually the person to suggest the rag in the tailpipe as a possible suicide attempt which IMO likely means, he personally confronted fred about it, at a point in which Fred was in major regret mode that he ever even...

THis is exactly what I believe to be true. I believe fred was confronted about this rag in the tailpipe, after he had led police to believe Maura came to their area to do personal harm to herself. At the point fred was confronted, he quickly made up a story to explain it away. A clogged...

Maura and her father were part of that group that you describe. Just three months before Maura went missing, her and her father tackled several 4,000 footers in one extended weekend journey that spanned to different locations. The same directions that were found in both Maura's car and off...

No I haven't. The White Mountains really don't interest me at all. And if I read the book, in no way would I come close to interpretating it the way someone like Maura would. So I decided the best way I could go about getting into Maura's head, was to pour over reivews of the book by...

and that is a very fair point. Because we can't get in the head of Maura to figure out what kind of impression that book left on her. However, I have poured through dozens of reviews of this book (mostly from hikers) and the impression I was left with, that those same hazards and...

I don't think any theory should be out-right dismissed. But I have never felt the abduction theory should be the one that you start from concerning this case. Please don't forget that Maura just didn't go missing in some random place in the middle of nowhere. She was heading right into...

First off with the seagrams for instance, reports have always varied on this and accounts by family members/spokespeople have always talked about bottles being found in the car (in different places). Who knows for sure on the seagrams and the Bailey's because very few reports you'll find...

Lt. Scarinza (Retired former lead investigator into Maura's disappearance) speaking in an interview with James Renner: "She had purchased Kahlua, wine, and a six pack of Seagrams. The box had splashed all over the car. The bottle of kahlua was not there." Other media reports mention vodka...

The box of Franzia wine was still in the car, it had exploded open and spilled out. A soda bottle was found under Maura's car that the officer described as having a pink to reddish liquid and smell of alcohol. A receipt was found in the car for alcohol and that included vodka and Kahlua...

I actually don't quite know how it fits, because I have never fully bought into the theory that she was involved. I would think she would be devastated if she knew she hit him and then left the scene, not knowing whether or not he survived the hit. The campus newspaper account of the vasi hit...

In no way am I claiming it to be fact that Maura was parked there. I am just saying that would be a good way to prove to me whether or not Maura could've been involved in the hit and run or not involved. And no one to this date has ever given me a good answer one way or the other concerning...

I hear what you are saying and I visited UMASS and got a first-hand look at the parking situation right at Maura's dorm (she lived in) and the neighboring dorm (she did her desk monitor job). But, I am telling you, there is a parking lot right next to the door of the dorm (reserved for...

I have some other Sharon Journal posts and direct comments from Sharon. I will post them when I locate them. I know she references the soda bottle that was found under Maura's car, by noting that police found a licorice stick in the bottle. Maura was known to use licorice sticks as straws...

I will blow your mind further (even though, this scenario doesn't have anything to do with why I think Maura took her own life, but it would make things even more interesting). I think both of your scenarios you just laid out could actually be linked. Maura stepped out (on break) and...

I lean towards the theory that Maura took her own life and the timeline of events, the words people in the know have spoken and the actions of the people involved, IMO, do nothing to discredit the suicide theory. Maura was an avid hiker, something that seems lost on a lot of people and her...

No. As I am trying to recall, there was a search done within days of the accident, but that involved a scent-trail dog and not a cadaver dog. And because of the location, time of the year and cross-winds, the investigators knew going in to the dog's search, that it was only going to be able...
