I do think *most* of Maura's prior life should remain private, but not all. Knowing every single thing about her life isn't necessary, certainly. But knowing her general habits in terms of her weekly school schedule at UMass, including whether she in fact attended classes on Friday Feb 6th (day after the upsetting phone call she received) and also on Monday the 9th, would be helpful and might provide more clues to her state of mind. For example, if she went to classes as usual on Friday and Monday, then maybe after all she was not AS upset by that phone call as we have surmised. If classes were canceled due to weather (which was suggested on the MMM forum), then what did she do on those 2 days?
Also, it could be helpful to know what her reading tastes were, and what she liked to do with her spare time other than running.

I think it has been easy to "assume" that Maura drove the Saturn to the Haverhill area because otherwise it would be awfully coincidental that the Saturn ended up in the White Mountains very near areas that she and her family were quite familiar with, i.e., the White Mountains were her favorite place. While it can't be claimed as a Fact that she was driving the car up there, it's pretty logical that she did.

LOOKING4AMOOSE, can you say where exactly these public access points for ATV's are in that area? I would really like to know that. I can post an email address if that is better than a public posting.
In one of the most amazing coincidences I have ever had I was talking with an uncle this weekend who I haven’t seen in many years. He owns property (2 acres) in the Mountain lakes area. He bought it in the 70’s before the whole thing went bust during the oil shortage. Never built on it but he used to park a camper on the property during the summer. It sounds like he hasn't been there in a while.

Still, several of us now have trips set up for Haverhill and Amherst/Hadley, and I'm tracking down people to talk to who are spread out all over the place by now,

Not to be argumentative but, although the assumption is that Maura may have been returning to a place that was special to her, the reality is that Haverhill is on the other side of NH (haverhill is far west bordering VT, Bartlett is much more eastern...in addition, anyone familiar with the area would most likely choose NOT to travel 112 in the winter as the other end of it (the Kancamagus Highway) going east towards Bartlett, Conway etc. can be intensely stormy with little to no notice...a more treacherous road than the western end of 112 and there are no houses or services available for many, many miles. 302 to 116 is a far better and faster route, although it may be a longer distance.

Good example of a deliberate disconnect.
FireCat refuses to answer the question. Just likes to pretend I said something he knows I did not say. Which says a lot.
Firecat IN HIS OWN WORDS said that Maura disappeared from Haverhill. This is not known.
Fred's Saturn was found in Haverhill. Maura was last RELIABLEY seen, according to published reports, in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Maybe Maura drove the Saturn to Haverhill and maybe she did not. If you want to go on the assumption that she drove the Saturn to Haverhill, then go for it. That's a totally legitimate line of thinking.
But there is NO PROOF that Maura disappeared from Haverhill. Or from Amherst.
So if some posters want to pursue Maura's diappearance as mainly an Amherst event, then so what?
No one is stopping you from talking about Haverhill. Go right ahead. Personally, I welcome responsibly acquired information about Haverhill and all other places. Haverhill is a good place to concentrate on because that's where the Saturn was left. But it's not the ONLY place to concentrate on.
Firecat claims as FACT that Maura disappeared from Haverhill. It is certainly possible that Maura disappeared from Haverhill; it may even be probable, but it falls far short of FACT.

Beagle Bart, GET OVER YOURSELF. FireCat (who is not, in fact, male) has not stated as fact that Maura disappeared from Haverhill. FireCat CORRECTED HERSELF IN THAT SELF-SAME POST AND HAS TAKEN GREAT PAINS TO REESTABLISH THAT CORRECTION IN SUBSEQUENT POSTS.
The person who has continued to harp on this disconnect is not FireCat, it is Alden, aka BeagleBart.
Since we're talking about facts here.

Therefore, Maura Murray disappeared from Haverhill, NH?
If I get car-jacked in my father's car after having stopped at a local liquor store, and the perp dumps my dead body down a nearby ravine, where no one ever looks for it, and then the perp drives the car 150 miles away until it fishtails off the road, at which point he abandons it and runs down the dark road ahead in a hooded sweatshirt, how have I "disappeared" from the location where my father's car was abandoned?
