I've been reading a lot about this case and have a couple of questions. I read were someone called her and upset her so bad that her boss had to walk her back to her dorm room. Did they ever figure out who made that telephone call?
On a Monday, February 9, 2004, at just about this very time,
Maura Murray want missing.
Today, 5 years later:
Still No Answers!
Praying for Maura and those who love her.
If you know Maura and her family soooo well.. can you explain why she took off??? And.. yes, all evidence points to her leaving of her own accord. If she were so unhappy with school- yet happy with her family.. common sense would suggest that she would've escaped school to be with her parents. NOT, take off and go to NH where she didn't know anything. There is a lot you DO NOT know, there is a lot that none of us know about this case- and for you to scold somebody for their opinions (last I checked, we all have the right to our opinions in the United States of America!!), is just disgusting!! The people closest to this case, ie: friends and family of Maura Murray are so closed minded that this case will most likely NEVER be solved because they will not accept any other theory but FOUL PLAY- which there is absolutely no evidence of! It is more likely that she took off and either committed suicide or died accidentally. Don't ignore the fact that she did TAKE OFF on her own, and lied to faculty staff as to why she was leaving.. she was obviously running away... she was not abducted. FACE THE FACTS.
Your kid disappears, what are you going to do? Stop looking? I think not.
However.. if Maura died in the Mountains- it is very likely that her remains would have been devoured by bears, coyotes, etc. If she died in the Mountains, or fell in a Lake or something- chances are (after 5 yrs) there would be no body to recover..It's true that suicide is a common cause of death among college age students. However, it's likely that most people who choose to commit suicide do not leave this many unanswered questions.
Jmo, there is much more evidence to suggest that foul play is involved. Yes, it seems that Maura left on her own accord, and perhaps she even had suicide in mind. However, there is no body. Most of the time when there is a suicide, there is a body. fwiw
P. S. Miss Ella, I'm so sorry that your family had to endure such tragedy. Suicide has to be one of the hardest things for a family to ever deal with.
I believe that her father chooses to believe the foul play theory, because the alternative is just too aweful to bare... Fact! SHE chose to leave school, Fact! SHE is the one who lied to school faculty, and Fact! SHE is the one who willingly left school grounds with no explanation. SHE is ultimately the one who was responsible for her own fate. Remember.. the fact that she did not leave a suicide note does not matter. She did leave a note (the family will not discuss exactly what was in the note), not everybody who commits suicide leaves a suicide note. And we can't believe everything we see in Hollywood movies regarding young pretty damsels in distress being kidnapped off a rural road, 99.9% of the time- this does not happen!!
Also, If her family will not publish exactly what was said in Maura's final letter that was left in her dorm room.. I wonder what it is that THEY are hiding. And, why do you think AMW did not wish to broadcast a story about Maura Murray?? It is because all evidence suggests that she ran away.. and was NOT a victim of Foul Play.
