Jerry says: "I’ve always reacted somewhat negatively to your posts and well as a few others."
That's clear and its out of character to a person trying to figure out what happened.
What is strange is the adversarial stance you take here. Because I haven't come up with really offensive scenarios like maybe she was a drug dealer or God knows what.
And yeah, they are possible too.
Instead I have:
1.) Suggesting that we should look for Maura somewhere else since we haven't found anything looking in the same place after four years.
2.) Recognized the clear evidence that Maura did some things without telling anyone and applied that to the situation. It stands to reason that she may have done additional things that no one still knows about. All I did was come up with possible reasons why. You don't like the theory - so now you say you are offended.
3. I analyzed evidence and explained how different possibilities could be ruled out.
4. I explained why I believed that the car had likely traveled straight to where it was found.
Jerry says: "There is one word that particularly troubled me…”accomplice”. The following are excerpts from a google search for the term “definition accomplice”
Yes her being involved in a crime is possible. So is her being victimized.
But I didn't have crime in mind when I wrote it. I used "accomplice" mostly in the "secret boyfriend theory" in which I speculate that she went to New Hampshire with a secret boyfriend that only she knew about (because she might have had an inner conflict in deciding what to do) and she either started a new life with that person or ended up having foul play committed against her (a crime) by harming Maura.
But accomplice doesn't always mean a crime was committed. And you knew that.
I'm not going to start footnoting words in anticipation of your hypersensitivity.
But on the other hand - just because you're doing some chest pounding doesn't make it impossible that Maura might be doing just fine and not want to come back.
That is a possibility too, just like her being killed is one too. I don't know why you would expect the folks here to not explore possibilities. Especially if they want to find her. What do you think were here for?
Jerry writes: "What exactly are you implying with your comments about an ‘unsuccessful attempt to accomplish whatever was accomplished” and ‘whatever was accomplished’ you can guess. I’m not being obtuse, I’d really like to know what you’re talking about…what could possibly have been accomplished by having an accident in her father’s car on Saturday/Sunday? And, if you are using the word ‘accomplice’ correctly, what exactly are you saying?"
I think you are reading too much into a possibility in which no reasons have yet been stated or explored. I'm just stating what I think could be possible.
This kind of reaction could prevent the actual solution from being found.
No one came here to pick a fight - but I've found it after I arrived, once the possibilities I provided were the ones you didn't want to hear.
It is only after witnessing these backlashes that I really have to wonder if there is more to the whole situation then meets the eye.
