Father Sues State, Police Over Missing Daughter
BY GARY E. LINDSLEY, Staff Writer
Thursday December 29, 2005
New Hampshire state and law enforcement officials are facing a lawsuit filed against them by the father of a missing 21-year-old Massachusetts woman.

Her father has been seeking police records regarding the accident scene and her disappearance for nearly two years.
He has sought the information under the New Hampshire Right-To-Know Law as well as the federal Freedom of Information Act.
Murray has filed a lawsuit in Grafton Superior Court.

"I actually do hope to get the records," Murray said. "It is a missing person's case, not a criminal investigation, according to police. I need the records because I am still actually searching for her."
He is seeking injunctive relief stemming from an improper denial of records by an agency or official covered by the Right-To-Know Law, according to the lawsuit. He is not seeking anything but the information about his daughter's accident and disappearance.
Murray said he has been told by police and the state attorney general's office that information cannot be released because there is an ongoing investigation.
[Attorney General] Ayotte told The Associated Press Wednesday that she had not seen the lawsuit, which was filed last week, but that "we have shared whatever information we feel we can share without jeopardizing the investigation." She
said that Maura Murray is still being treated as a missing person, but "it was a suspicious disappearance. We've treated the case very seriously."
