Good Academic Standing Isn't this the same as saying she wasn't failing? Semester grade reports from my university would list "good academic standing" if the students grade point average was a 2.0 or higher (on a 4.0) scale, basically a "C" average. GPA's lower than a 2.0 were listed as...

I agree. The dog either picked up her scent or he didn't. Dogs don't pick up scents and then lose them because their reference item was too new. Wasn't it Fred's contention that the gloves were too new? And also that the dog lost the scent 100 yards east because a local dirtbag took her off the...

Some other questions I have: Wasn't Fred's Corolla towed after the accident? What became of it? How (and when) did he leave Amherst? If the car was damaged to warrant repairs covered by insurance, then I'm sure it wasn't fixed on Sunday. Especially if Fred didn't find out about the accident...

I went to college two hours away from home, and my parents visited a couple of times. But they never got a hotel room nearby, they'd just drive home. And the semester had just started two weeks earlier. She would have just seen him over winter break, don't you think? Kind of soon for a visit...

He did seem awfully sure she was going to Bartlett. I think that was on the Disappeared episode. How could he be sure unless he already knew? Going back to what you mentioned upthread, carpanthers. If he was so convinced she was suicidal, then why did he leave Amherst? Why not get her some...

I do think that's possible, carpanthers. I'm not sure I believe that money was intended to buy Maura a car, or that his visit the weekend prior to her disappearance was for that reason. But I don't know what other reason there would be, unless he was just visiting. I think something happened...

What reasons would Fred have to withhold information? Some possibilities: 1. He's the reason she disappeared, he knows it, and refuses to admit it. Did he harm her? Kill her? Abuse her (physically, sexually, mentally?) until she'd had enough? 2. He helped her run away for whatever reason...

I'd love to know what happened to that $4000 too. Something that has always stuck with me was the part of Fred's story where he said they found a car but he was going to return the following weekend to purchase it. Supposedly his whole reason for visiting Maura that weekend was to buy her a...

From James Renner's post above : "I don't believe anything about Fred and Kate's official version of that weekend. It's possible the party on Sat. night was essentially a "good bye" party. Her father urgently called 911 (not to get an update) but to pass along information about Maura when he...

Great questions, carpanthers! Hi all, I'm a longtime lurker and first time poster here. I've been following this case for a few years and still waver back and forth on the many theories of what happened. I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on the idea of Maura starting a new life in...
