Her transfer to UMASS and change of major to nursing is not to be taken lightly...as these changes can be VERY stressful for a motivated, goal-oriented, and normally high-achieving student. Even two years later.
Loss (having attending a more prestigious educational institution...and then a public institution)
Sadness (about the unknown)
Fear of failure (in choosing another career path)
These features and effects of such life-disruption cannot be minimized. Some of us are less sensitive, "tougher" than others...and can more easily cope.
As adults, we know setbacks are temporary and workable...but to a young adult with lofty goals for high achievement, the new path can be frightening.
Some students identify with their academic achievement more than their social status...and don't mind eating alone...perhaps their mental energy is occupied with problem solving.
Maura hadn't dropped out of school - she successfully made the transfer...and apparently was coping.
I don't know what happened to Maura Murray, but by all "appearances", she had a constellation of support and love that was sustaining her. I see evidence of a wonderful relationship between Maura and her father...it is tragic.
I prefer to believe, without evidence or proof, that she became a victim of random violence/crime.
Another thought - no one is flawless...but some simply endear themselves to us in a way that may seem as if they may be nearly ideal...especially under these circumstances.

Ok, let's talk about that again. Maura seems to have either packed, reorganized or never really unpacked. The *note* that was found could tell everything if it were relevant to her reason for leaving, but it was not. She was planning to call Billy later, Dad too.
If it was not Maura who packed up, emailed and left, how'd they know to get accident papers?
Was the jewelry and such kept in the car, still there from the holiday break? The nursing books would have likely been used and brought down to the car for the trip.
It's not unusual to change career choice several times before settling. Some go on to do anything but what they studied for/mastered in.
To say there was a family emergency is to say she had made up her mind to go do whatever it was she couldn't bring herself to share with anyone. She seemed to be in emergency mode to take the car *then* instead of going to whatever this was the next week when she picked up the car she had decided on Sunday
If I were police, I would track down the inside caller to security that night. I would go over everything with whoever called *her*. Why did she cry, what did you say to her......
I would also take that anonymous caller that either came though, didn't come through, but none the less "tried" to call her and grill them to the gills. To once and for all eliminate any possible connection to her decision to leave so fast.

<quoted text> Maura transfeered to UMass as a chemical engineering student and was making honors. She didn't transfer to the nursing program until January 2003 and UMass' Nursing program is very prestigious--it has very high standards for acceptance so her goals were still quite lofty--there was also took somewhere of her wanting to become a Physician's Assistant--again, a lofty goal. Emailing professors saying that you need a week off for a death in the family that didn't occur isn't acceptable in those ranks and a student would likely get thrown out of the program for doing that (I went there for some graduate level courses and still had to take my finals despite my father having passed away 2 days prior). Having her belongings packed in boxes in her dorm room doesn't appear that she had any intentions of ocming back. I'm not saying something wasn't tugging at her---its obvious there was something, but it was apparently something that was far more important to her than continuing her education at UMass and couldn't wait until she had a more dependable car--if in fact, she was the one who drove the vehicle away from Amherst.

Sophie Bean or anyone else,
It may seem that I'm going off topic but I'm not. In the intitial reports about the young man from Vermont being murdered it was reported that the man/homicide victim was found on state property.
I keep hearing the use of the word trailers in the reports. Is this by any chance a campground or is Lim Kiln Road just an area with diversified homes and structures?
I am not familiar with the area and Weeper's blow by blow witness report of following behind the responding officer from Cottage Hospital to the accident call has confused me even further.
I believe the first accident did happen (per 4 witnesses who heard the call and the cancellation of the call- woman left in private vehicle) and we've yet to determine the exact location.
Although it is pure speculation on my part, I believe Maura was driving her vehicle to this point. Hence, call cancelled, woman left in a private vehicle.
Would Lime Kiln Road happen to intersect with 302 Northeast of the Saturn's final resting place?
Petticoat Lane was also brought up in recent conversation on this board.

Hello paris,
Yes, those two calls (to the security desk at Melville dorm and the one to Maura´s cellphine from the Londonderry, NH, tower) may well be of the utmost importance here.
Could it even conceivably have been the very same person making both these calls to Maura?

When will the stupid sensless killings stop up in the Haverhill area?

<quoted text>Sure, and I say that because the person had likely moved on.........? How'd they figure that one and why let it go. Or as Quija said, it'll be kept from the public and we'll just have to keep wondering.
The way White Wash presented this info was that police had to obtain a warrant, something to that effect. When was this again, do you know? I had reason for needing my cell records and my provider said only police could get records before my billing cycle would show what I needed to see.
So what I'm saying is, why are we led to believe the last call to the Salamones was not the last call and that police didn't "bother" to check on it for so many months?!~ The unsuccessful call, was it the last and clearly on the statement? Either way, this person was how far from UMASS? Looking for the quick answer, help.
And thanks

Hello all,
I wish to return to the matter of the supposed acceleration and subsequent thud, as heard by the W-n family at the Weathered Barn, Swiftwater.
In my mind, a thud and a subsequent acceleration would make somewhat more sense.
Some posters have mentioned that the Saturn appeared to have been backed into the snowbank by Rte 112.
Just a wild speculation here, but could the driver of the Saturn (whoever that was) possibly have come from the Lincoln direction, driving west towards Woodsvill, stopping the car between the A-d and W-n houses, reversing/accelerating the car and smashing the rear end of the Saturn into the snowbank, facing west in the eastbound lane....
As everyone knows a reversing, accelerating car always makes considerably more noise than an acceleration forwards at a similar speed....

Thanks Wowzer,
O.K. so 116 and not 302.
Lime Kiln Road sounds like the area in which I live here in NC. Lots of different types of homes re: stick built, pre-fabricated homes, and trailers.
Thanks also for you description of Petticoat lane.

Right - "please clarify"
It is a perfectly clear statement. I do not regard MOST other views posted about Maura's disappearance - those which are not that she was a victim of foul play - as impossible.
I view abduction by aliens as virtually impossible.
I view abduction by a nefarious sekrit society as highly unlikely.
I do not believe that all persons in the local area are drug dealers, murderers and scum.
I have made all of these opinions absolutely clear in dozens and dozens of posts, and it is disingenious at best to suggest otherwise.
Is that clear enough for you?
If you need more clarification that that, it is really your issue and not mine.
kthxbye
