Maura Murray, 2 1/2 Years After Her Disappearance;
A Letter From Her Family

A Northcountry News Exsclusive -

Our thanks to the Northcountry News and its Publisher Bryan Flagg for allowing the family of Maura Murray to ‘speak’ to its readers. As many of you know, Maura disappeared on February 9, 2004. She was last seen on Route 112 after a single car crash. Much has been said about Maura in the media and local coffee shops over the last two and a half years. Many of you have formed opinions of what happened and of Maura and her family based on what has been presented in the media and sometimes based on inaccurate rumors.

Maura is so much more than what has been presented in most of the papers. She is more than a missing person. Maura is a Missed Person, she is a daughter, a sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend. My favorite quote about Maura is by one of her friends: "If you wanted to make a person, you would make her just like her." said Katie Jones a close friend of Maura’s since grade school.”

I hope everyone here reads that article. Maura sounds like a wonderful, charming girl. People should hold still with rumors. Maura was smart, kind, an important member of a family. The essence of her rings loud and clear. I have always felt that Maura had a wonderful family, who worked without pause to find her. Her dad works continuously to get access to more information....that is with held. Other family members are constantly looking for word of her. Life is not easy....
But, her life is not what happened during one certain day. Maura is loved and missed by many........her family needs answers.......one small clue might help.
Pray for Maura, Laura, Bri and the others missing in the NE area. Our hearts are heavy with their loss. What if they were your daughters? Missing from
Gods green earth.........God Bless.

I am unable to get my computer to access the video, but it is my understanding that the "email" in question is the one referenced in the recent North Country News wherein Maura was quoted as saying in an email to her boyfriend, Bill Rausch, "I love you more." The original email has been in print before and here at Websleuths.

as Peabody says these new news stories while welcome are old news.

I believe the email was released and made public as early as April 2004 in a Seventeen magazine interview with Lt Rausch?

Anyway I keep wondering about several aspects of the email, specifically why "more" and if "stud" was just a regular humorous intimate way of addressing Lt R that was sometimes used by Maura?

The "more" seems to refer to something in his messages to which she had not responded from Sunday night--it was now 1pm on the Monday afternoon of the day of her disappearance when she sent this email reply.

Yes, the first public release of the email was in Seventeen Magazine a few months after Maura went missing.

I have been informed that Maura often referred to "Bill" as Stud - perhaps this was a pet name/ nickname - I really don't know since I have also been told that their age group also uses " Hey, Stud" as a greeting for one another just as my generation said, "Hey Buddy" ...........

As to what Maura meant when she said "I love you more", I can only speculate. Factually, none of us have an answer.........I do know in one of my own relationships, that my significant other always told me that he loved me more than I loved him.......it was never a put down of my love for him, but an explanation of how much he loved me since it was understood that I had great love for him.........from my perspective and pure speculation, it would seem perfectly natural that Maura meant: "I know you love me, but I love you more".

Yes, very, very, common to say.....
" I love you, more" ......I think I said that a hundred times myself.
I dont' think you need to read into that. Just a common phrase.

 

[Peabody]

With prayers for Maura and her family


...........missing 2 1/2 years today

 

[Peabody]

Maura has been missing 2 1/2 years today.

I pray for her and all of those who love her.

My gratitude to all who keep on searching for her!

 

[curious1]

I am so glad that link was posted. I have never once believed that Maura just walked off. It is so obvious what a wonderful caring person she was. I do not believe that she would have left her parents like that to make them suffer so much. JMHO

 

[Kelly]

My thoughts and prayers are with the family today, as always.

 

[texasgirl]

Thinking of Maura's family today and all those who love her...

Every day I hope that "today" will be the day we know what happened to her!

With permission, I am posting a message that Sharon, the mother of Maura's boyfriend posted today at <modsnip - no longer a working website>

"Hello All,

Just spoke to the producer of 20/20

He says that the 'Vanished" show about Maura and Brooke Wilburger has been one of the highest rated shows of the year.

Also, the show is tentatively schedule to re-air on Friday August 25 - if not that date, then the following week on Friday on September 1

He is to call me to let me know if the showing will be 8/25 or 9/1 -- I promise to keep you posted.

Don't know if you are aware, but a recent national show was the reason that Laura McKenzie was located - let's pray that this second airing will give us some postivie results in locating Maura!

Sharon"

Please mark your calendars

Please keep telling people about the 20/20 airing. It is so important as you know. I want to be sure to watch it....we need to have answers on Maura and Bri....Someone has to have a clue to this. They are in my prayers.
Their families need answers.

That is 100% right......and it took ONE aware person. Just one tip that was ...the perfect one. To bring Laura Mac home. I hope everyone watches so you have that "one" grand moment when the call becomes the answer to your prayers. Maura needs to be home too!!!

I marked it on my calender for both dates and wrote ABC. I'll just start checking about 7:00 and check each hour. Darn Digital TV doesn't even have a guide to check for things. I really dislike it.
