not sure this link will work, but isn't this the psychic that the podcast guys interviewed?
No, they interviewed Lori Bruno, not Lori Sforza.

I thought they were the same person.
He has become very unprofessional and it is sleazing up the online sleuthing of this case...
The post took on certain credence after a user named "Observer" replied that this was known to certain members of the family. Observer was tracked to the region of a small town where Fred's cousins lived...
Just thought it was interesting considering all the prior discussions about how unlikely it would be for Maura to run into a killer that evening. I wonder if this poor lady thought the same thing
With MM people for some reason assume when you speak of foul play, it somehow translates into a serial killer on the loose, and the likelihood of that is very slim.
Despite it being a slim chance it has happened before. At this point anything is possible and I certainly wouldn't dismiss the idea.
However, if foul play is involved, it doesn't necessarily have to be a serial killer. This person may have initially viewed her as an easy rape victim and approached it from that angle.
Perhaps the intent wasn't originally to kill her but things went awry.
But to automatically dismiss foul is naive and it doesn't simply entail a serial killer bumping into her and thinking "Look an easy victim!"
There could certainly be a sexual motive that led up to it.
For years, I've read comments by people who fault Renner for his supposedly single-minded hypothesis that MM is alive and in hiding somewhere. Now he apparently has come across something that changes his mind -- he says that, if true, the new info would make it much more likely that MM is dead. That's pretty damn inconvenient for someone who has already finished his book.
The guys making the podcast and documentary do not strike me as knowing what they are doing....
What's relevant is finding out what happened to Maura and bringing peace to the Murray family once and for all.
Nothing to do with Maura but as a reference to the "she ran in to the woods" theory. This happened ~25 miles west of Maura's disappearance in fall of 2004. Jackman was just found after 11 years.
Hunter finds human remains police believe belong to fugitive (Oct 16, 2015)

If Maura missed two days of these clinicals, there would not have been a search party called. The consequences of missing clinicals would have been purely academic in nature. Scoops is totally convinced that if Maura missed two days of school (even these you-miss-one-and-the-world-ends clinicals), that her parents and the police would have been called. That is not how things operate at a university. If Maura missed two days of clinicals then her grade would have suffered, or she would have been kicked out of the program, but FFS, she would not have been a "missing person".
I also feel that there have been a lot things he dug up about Maura that have now just been "hanging" out there with no credible source for years. For example, Renner posted on his blog that Maura participated in orgies....
Agree with everyone's points about James Renner. I enjoyed his blog up until his claims of Maura being a "sociopath". Thats the point where it descended into utter farce for me. That is a very serious clinical diagnosis and to be throwing around labels like that which clearly hold a stigma in the society in which we live is highly irresponsible in my view. I work in mental health and its hard enough trying to encourage people to come forward or talk about their mental health issues because of stigma and social exclusion. Making it into some kind of salacious gossip that wouldn't look out of place on a daily mail headline is not helpful. On his blog, he didn't even spell psychopathy correctly. He is not in a position to be diagnosing serious mental health conditions of a person he has never even known, or met. Its fine to have suspicions about it, or to wonder about it, or to point out behaviour that might be dysfunctional, or to believe it internally, but to actually come out and publicly declare a diagnosis like its fact? No. Just NO.
One interesting thing from the most recent podcast was the interview with "John Smith" the private investigator who claims that from looking at Billy Rausch's phone records, he thinks Billy was aware of the problems that Maura was having and he implies that Billy might know why she left UMass that night. He claims that Billy made 46 phone calls the day before Maura went missing and 52 phone calls on the day she went missing (this was all BEFORE anyone knew she was gone). He claims that a normal amount of phone calls for Billy on an average day would be approx. 17-20 so this amount is obviously above the norm for him. He makes it clear that he does NOT think Billy was involved in her disappearance as he was in another location, but simply that he might have known what was troubling Maura and perhaps been worried about it himself.
This is a very basic, well-known part of the case, and if you're just hearing this now, you really haven't done enough research. There was a post on a messagboard devoted to Maura's case years ago, in which a person wrote that Maura fled to Canada after striking Vasi with her car. The post took on certain credence after a user named "Observer" replied that this was known to certain members of the family. Observer was tracked to the region of a small town where Fred's cousins lived.
There were also posts on Canadian messageboards, supposedly by a schoolmate of Maura's, who claimed they saw her near Montreal.
Look, I'm not saying these reports are definitive, but they deserve to be followed, like any lead. please do research before dismissing them entirely.
What do you all think of the detailed list of items found in Maura's car that Renner dug up?
Personally, I'd be careful about reading too much into it. In my experience, that level of mess isn't too out of the ordinary for many young post-adolescents, especially college students in flux between a fixed address (i.e., living at home with mom and dad) and college life. However, the sheer volume of contingencies that she apparently planned for in stocking her vehicle with those supplies, whether it was deliberate or just stuff amassed over the years of driving it, speaks to Maura's personality, which has always been described as meticulous and somewhat "type-A."
What do you all think of the detailed list of items found in Maura's car that Renner dug up?
Renner's post points out that there is a lot of shampoo on the list, and speculates that the Head and Shoulders indicates a man. i don't think it's unusual and some people (especially women) like to switch between multiple shampoos from time to time, including dandruff ones.
it's interesting for sure. could say a lot or could say nothing! for example, in my trunk are a lot of car repair/maintenance items like power steering fluid, screwdrivers etc. it's just handier to have them there when fixing something.
