NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - # 5

[Truthful Lies]

Just read the complete story on South Shore Express...interesting ideas in there.

 

[Rle7]

It has been three years and nearly seven months since Maura Murray's black Saturn went off a rural road on a cold, dark wintry night in the town of Haverhill.

Murray, who at the time was a nursing student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, was nowhere to be found when police arrived and has not been seen nor heard from since.

Now, an Arkansas-based group, Let's Bring Them Home, is trying to bring to light what happened to Murray, who was an accomplished athlete in track. The missing person's advocacy group is offering a $75,000 reward to help accomplish its goal.

Found this as I was looking though the paper at the other local tragedy.

Maybe $75,000.00 will loosen some lips.

I am just now reading up on Maura's disappearance. My prayers to her family! I hope she is found soon.

bumping for Maura and those who love her. We will never forget

Too long for any family to not know where their loved one is....

It looks like they are trying to cover their butts by not allowing her father to have the records. It doesn't appear to me, that the police tried very hard to find her. I think that town views Fred as Aruba views Beth. I have great respect for both, without them, their cases would have been buried. I hope he finds her soon. And the persons responsible are prosecuted.

Bumping for the Murrays...........

Does anyone else here think that Maura's case could possibly be related to Meredith Emersons?

I think it should at least be looked into, and also the case of missing Brianna Maitland.

In the SouthShoreExpress story (link above), one witness was sure they saw her at a store, with a man in his 60s, mouthing "help me".

Just imagining seeing someone do this gives me goosebumps.

This is a link to the second part of the 4 part series of Maura's missing.

I enjoyed reading that. Maybe "enjoyed" isn't the right word... but I was able to get a lot of info reading that (as well as many of my own Qs).

I also noticed one similarity between Maura and the Route 29 Stalker. The route 29 stalker had told his victims to put a white object somewhere outside the car so someone would know the car was disabled. Maura's car was found with a white towel in the tailpipe.

 

[CyberLaw]

The man who was and is suspected in the Route 29 case(s), was in a jail cell at the time when Maura ran away.


Although a great idea, the time line does not match.

Brianna Maitland's father, Bruce, and Fred Murray of Weymouth, whose daughter is also missing, became friends as they searched for a possible connection between their cases, though police agencies have ruled that out. Maura Murray, a 21-year-old University of Massachusetts at Amherst nursing student, vanished after crashing her car into a snowbank in Woodsville, New Hampshire, near the Vermont border, the night of February 9, 2004 -the month before Brianna's disappearance. The fathers' newly forged bond is based not only on a mutual effort to find their daughters, but also an unspoken understanding: "We don't say, you know, 'Poor you. Poor you,' " Murray says. "Everybody's grief is personal. He knows how I feel; I know how he feels."

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has a support group for searching families, called Team HOPE, but many families, like those of Brianna Maitland and Maura Murray, create their own informal networks to console and assist one another through the overwhelming trauma. Bereft parents, siblings, even aunts and cousins call and e-mail one another with encouragement, link to other families' websites to publicize their cases, print and distribute missing-child fliers and buttons, participate in searches for one another's children, and send sympathy cards and flowers when a child's body is found.

The damage to the windshield of the car does not seem to be consistent with the rest of the damage. For some reason it looks like it was caused by something other than the initial impact that caused the frontal damage to the car.

Steve Huff has a huge summary of the Maura Murray case today, along with an article by Christopher King about unsolved cases in the White Mountains.

luthersmama,
Thank you for the heads up. Maura's disappearance is another case that just makes no sense. I'm glad Steve is keeping the case in the public's eye.

 

[luthersmama]

The article had alot of info I had never heard before, like the rag in the tailpipe and the cadaver dogs alerting at the nearby house.

Totally changed my mind about what happened.

Thanks, luthersmama. I look forward to reading the articles and seeing what may have changed your mind. I used to follow her case so much and then got tired of the disagreements over whether she left voluntarily or not. I can't believe it's been over 4 yrs now since she disappeared.
