f I am correct in the assessment that you are pointing to my post as support of Maura committing suicide, then let me assure you and everyone that I believe that running away and/or suicide are the least likely possibilities in Maura's missing. Therefore, it is most important to note the "....." in your quote:
I readily admit that at this point, no one can deny any possibility of what happened to Maura: there are no facts to support any theory.
However, those of us who know her best do not believe that she ran away or that she committed suicide. We have our reasons for our beliefs, but we can not prove either of these opinions anymore than we can prove that she was abducted and/or murdered.
Maura is gone! That is an indisputable fact. Another fact is that her father and many others continue efforts to find her. Fred Murray has told me on many an occasion that he will not give up hope that Maura is alive **UNTIL** her remains have been identified. He believes with all of his heart that until her body is found there is hope that she is alive somewhere. Sharon Rausch said it very well for Maura's loved ones during the 20-20 special: "My head tells me that Maura is no longer living, but my heart will not give up hope." So, it is with Fred and many others! He has not done everything perfect since Maura went missing, but he has done everything he knows to find her and has worked to learn information that will help him. Perhaps those of you who only find fault with him might try to walk just a few hours in his shoes. Maybe, just maybe, you who do not know him would STOP with the horrible accusations that you make against this loving father. And maybe, if some of you knew Maura, you would stop with the many horrible accusations made against her!

I hadn't realized it has been that long. My heart goes out to her dad. I know he has done everything possible to try to find his girl. I still think the answer is back where they found her car. The car was wrecked and she didn't just vanish without a trace from there. Take another look at the cop and the bus driver. There had to have been some clues left with her car or in the vehicle that gave her a ride...did they go over both those vehicles I wonder. Just because a person is a cop in a very rural area doesn't mean he is a good one. A driver of a school bus...same thing. Seems like there was questions about the wrecked car, etsc. Maura was such a beautiful girl. I remember hearing about her disappearance and just feeling so sad for her and her family.

MISSING UMASS STUDENT LISTED ON NH COLD CASE SITE
A Cold Case Unit, newly created by the New Hampshire Department of Justice, now lists the name of a college student from the South Shore on on its
<SNIP>
"Based on what I know, I believe Maura was killed," says Helena Murray of Weymouth, who is married to a cousin of Maura. Helena has been trying for nearly six years to find out what happened to the Hanson woman whose car was involved in minor accident on Route 112 in Haverhill, New Hampshire. When police arrived on scene, Maura was gone.
"Somebody knows something. Whether Maura's alive and got a ride or whether Maura is dead, somebody knows something," says Helena who wrote Governor John Lynch in 2005 asking Maura's name to be listed along with other cases that had gone cold.
"The state of New Hampshire needed to list these cases," she says. Finally, it has created a Cold Case Unit and has included Maura's name on its Web site. "I was very pleased to see her name on the list," says Helena who maintains a web site called Maura is Missing. She says some of Maura's friends have been cold-called by a man and woman who've visited the site and are interested in the case which makes her uncomfortable.

regarding the new NH cold case squad - this is great news for Maura's family. Anyone know how many detectives are assigned to this squad? Anyone know which detective is assigned to Maura's case?
To anyone working on Maura's case- just wanted to throw something out there. Could it be that when she left town, she was following someone she had been involved with (romantically, or something illegal- hence the upsetting mysterious phone call at work... since she couldn't talk about it to anyone) and was planning to go to a secret location with them..? And when her car went off the road and hit the tree, she waited for the person ahead of her to realize she wasn't behind them. During that time, another driver stopped to check on her, but she said she didn't want help, because she knew the person she was following in her car would come back and pick her up. Maybe this is why she said she didn't want the man to call police (either because she didn't want her boyfriend to find out, &/or because of involvement in illegal activity?). So the man left, and by the time the police did get there, she had gotten out of the car, walked on ahead, and the car in front had by then turned around, picked her up, and they drove on to the location in another city/state.. but he was dangerous and that was the end of her. Or maybe he owed her money, threatened her on the phone a few days before (which made her cry at work), then left town with him to try and resolve it or pay off the debt. I sense a double-life situation here that was kept from her family, boyfriend, and friends. Some kind of secret addiction/drug debt, or at least a secret relationship with a stranger. Maybe even a married man? ..someone who taught at the college? But I think the key lies in what caused that upsetting phone call. It must have been something really bad- again, possibly a threat. Thoughts?

Missing Persons' Web site, www.mpsiu.com, boasts that it has "cold case specialists" -- essentially subcontractors -- but Reinhart admits his background is in "sales and business development." He is not a licensed private investigator. His specialty is determining human behavior.
Reinhart, who lives in Newton, said Missing Persons is run from a "virtual office" in Washington, D.C.
Reinhart said Missing Persons was formed three months ago, and after preliminary investigations chose to focus on Quimby and missing University of Massachusetts Amherst student Maura Murray. The company Web site now lists seven "investigations," including the 1982 missing-person case of 17-year-old Judith Ann Chartier, of Chelmsford.
<snip>
FYI: When I saw this story online, my first action was to contact the Murray Family. I learned from them that they have NEVER been contacted by Reinhart, they have never contacted him, nor do they know him. I also learned that in their efforts to learn more about the story, the link to his business http://www.mpsiu.com has been taken down.
Just my opinion, but it seems there is ANOTHER scammer out there attempting to take advantage of Missing Person's Families. What a shame!
If this person is not a scammer, he needs to do the right thing by these families!!
