Yeah, we were talking about this individual here a few months back, and actually my interest in him regarding MM is partly what lead me to join WS. He's got a prestigious family - his step-mother is the Grafton county attorney, and his father owns several businesses around town (one, indeed, being a concrete company - at least, he owned one around the time of Maura's disappearance).
Kiln_Wood, you say you haven't seen the name pop up on WS, but judging from your post on Renner's blog it sounds like we're talking about the same person. Correct me if I'm wrong. (Or don't, whatever you feel comfortable revealing).
Anyway, mods - delete this post if I've stepped over any lines here.
ETA: Does anybody remember this?
"In late 2004, a man came forward to Fred with a stained, rusty jackknife. The stains were a reddish-brown color, Fred said. The man told Fred he thought his brother may have been connected to Maura's disappearance. At the time of Maura's accident the brother was living less than a mile away, the man related. He described his brother as having a record of violence and said that his brother's live-in girlfriend began acting strange around the time of Maura's disappearance.
Fred tried to turn the knife over to police but did not get beyond the plate glass window at state police headquarters, "I have what could be evidence in a capital crime," he recalled saying to the dispatcher, but the dispatcher said no one was available at headquarters to accept such evidence. Fred was told to come back during regular work hours. Fred then mailed the knife to state police along with all the information he received on the suspect. A few days later Fred received a proof of receipt that his package had reached the police but was never contacted by police regarding the knife or the possible suspect."

If (and that's a big if - don't take my post for anything more than speculation) the person under discussion is involved with what happened to MM, and also the owner of the knife, then - keeping in mind the reputation of said person's family - would LE's seemingly total disinterest and inaction regarding this potentially
very important piece of evidence start to make sense?
