Some random, rambling thoughts... Why did Maura bring so little with her on her trip north?
I don't know all of what Maura brought with her, but these are some things I'd bring on a one-week get-away (or even for 3 days). Living simply, there are things I'd bring that i'm not sure Maura brought:
a few changes of clothes if i knew there would be access to a washer and dryer (this i think she did)
my own soap, powder, shampoo and conditioner (since motels might have crummy stuff)
Creams, lotions, minimal first aid stuff like bandaids and bacitracin. Nail file, clippers.
"flip-flops" for the shower or walking around in a motel room....
camera, binoculars for hiking... maybe a field guide for birds or wildlife.... trail maps...
some bottled water for hiking (to avoid paying $1.25 a bottle when they are 20 cents each in a carton) since Maura wasn't a spend-thrift
magazines or journals (that've been piling up)... something for idle time, like when on the phone, like word puzzles or Game Boy or portable CD player, whatever...
some kind of boots for walking or hiking outside.
Or if she was going to just relax in a motel you'd think she'd bring a cozy robe or extra long t-shirt and fleece socks to laze around, study those nursing books that were in the Saturn, whatever...
blank notepad and pen
ziploc bags for leftover foods, box of tissues, paper towels, empty plastic bags (left-over from store purchases or else a real box of "kitchen trash bags") for car trash or even hiking trash to put in backpack
some postage stamps, return address stickers, address book, just in case...
I really don't know --- did Maura bring this kind of stuff? What was she planning to do on her get-away? She'd want more light reading than she brought (you'd think)?
There's something strange about the things that she did not bring. IMO. Please let me know if she actually had this kind of stuff with her. Thanks.

Brian Rooney was working in the area of Haverhill when Maura went missing. I know this for a fact as I know his employer and he told me this in person. He was also driving a red pickup back then, a coincidence, I think not. It will all come out soon HOPEFULLY.!!!!!...Rooney is a sick person and capable of just about anything. Someone needs to go see Rooney and talk to him, maybe he will confess seing he is in prison for LIFE.

No one has demonstrated even a little, tiny bit that a murder took place. Is there any FACTUAL information that Maura Murray was murdered?
If it had been your daughter who had disappeared in THAT Haverhill area? THAT Haverhill area? Maybe some people don't quite like the sound of THAT.
What is it with all the hatefulness? You go first, since it all comes from you for the purpose of staging a town/gown conflict more intriguing and distracting than any so-called staged car crash.
The time-line, when corrected, reads like a long list of zeros. She called an unknown person and left a message of no importance. She called an out-of-order resort phone line and spoke with no one. The car she did not own was found at a "crash" site where no crash occurred, in a town she had never seen before, and on, and on, and on, and on. She didn't live in her dorm room. She did not have a roommate in the dorm room. She did not work at a non-existent gallery. No one on her dorm floor remembers having seen her. She did not dine with others. She did not compete in almost all the UMass Women's Track Team races despite a history of competitive running. No photo of her at an undisclosed ATM was shown to even her immediate family for the purpose of positively identifying her.
The list of zero descriptive factors pre-disappearance is absurdly long.
And yet when this barely existing person no one knows disappears, anonymous tips should be sent to a PO Box south of Boston - a PO Box no one knows anything about - instead of conveying the information to the local police in the town in which it is claimed she disappeared!
A phony crash took place in a town totally unfamiliar to Maura. You want to siphon off information from the local police, castigate them for not doing their job, then piss on them for not providing what information they do have so that the whole world can learn what the police know and do not know.

You've got more information about people who you think may have murdered Maura Murray than you have that she was, in fact, murdered at all. You don't even have ANY proof that she was even IN Haverhill, let alone murdered there.
This one story alone could put Stephen King out of business forever.

Doesn't anyone here from the prior Maura Murray Forums remember the hell and anxiety that Helena went through just to get this private post office box...? Days of filling out multiple forms, standing in line...? One of the many stress related times that sent her to the hospital...? I don't know WHO picks up the mail...whether it is family or FBI, or whether is the MASP/
NHSP/local MA/NH LE. Perhaps NHLI/MA PIs....?
Citigirl...I don't know if you can or will answer this question. If not, I truly understand.(You know that)
Maura's family, Dad and Mom do have attorneys, so I don't worry about the legalities. What I do worry about is that a scum bag(s)and consorts are thinking that they got away with murder.
If this had been my "non-existent" daughter who disappeared in that Haverhill area,I would have been locked up by now, either in restraints and/or incarcerated.
Maura is either gone because of her own stupidity, or of circumstances.
What difference does it make? What is it with all the hatefulness...?
I remember why I started here..as I hope all FIT folks do, "keepin' on".
Maybe there should be a Topix, "Bash Maura Murray Forum" (sickening)

philip, I believe the phone pings were discussed several times on the highly desecrated MMM forum. I still appreciate WW efforts. I believe if you look back over the MMM forum you will find a list of items that were in the Saturn. Or, maybe White Wash can get the list.

Oh oh wait a minute....sorry, I've taken a short break and just now back, but HELLOOOOOO!!!! And for a different reason.
I'm going to list a timeline here. This is a very important timeline, and I'm referring to everyone reading this (Shack?), so pay very close attention to the dates. And the YEAR. This year has been corrected before but it has been ignored.
2004, May 29 - Maura's dorm items and computer retrieved from her dorm room by family.
2004, June 15 - Fred Murray files 1st Freedom of Information Act.
2004, June 22 - Fred Murray is informed that Major Crimes is involved in Maura's case.(hope!)
2004, June 25 - SIU of Major Crimes (State Police) go to the home of Maura's sister and retrieve items for which there is a signed receipt.
At the same time, the computer is retrieved. Receipt of the computer, by NH State Police, is NOT noted.
The items in Maura's dorm remained there until May 29th, 2004. Fred Murray had the hope that she would return. A parent's hope. He left her items in the dorm so they would be there when she returned.
What does one have if you don't have hope? You don't have a daughter. As Sharon has said, you lose your luggage, you don't lose a child.
Fred Murray has been played like a fiddle.

The number one drama queen from day one has spoken once again. No one is bashing Maura Murray.
The only thing sickening here is you the queen of drama,bash and hatefulness.
Can you show any proof to this forum that a murder was committed in the Haverhill area? If not then stop bashing the people and the town unless you know for a fact a crime was even committed here.
Holy crap I'm sure glad you told us about what's involved to getting a PO box in MA. Days of filling out papers and standing in line long enough to cause enough stress to send someone to the hospital. I'll be sure I never move there as my mailbox that sits out front of my house causes no such stress and so far hasn't caused me to be hospitalized.

Thanks so much for providing an address for anonymous tips. I just have a few questions.
Sorry for being so insecure, but in what way are these tips kept anonymous? Are they anonymous if they contain really important, relevant information? Even if the sender licks the envelope?
Who is "us?" As in, "Write to us." A different LE organization? Hockey Moms? A religious group?
Don't go to local police? Why not? Why should the public provide tips to a PO Box instead? Who reads these tips? Do you want useful tips sent to the PO Box so that local police don't intercept useful information and keep it from... the police? How would local police handle an anonymous tip differently from the "us" you refer to?
Would an important anonymous tip ultimately be turned over to ANY law enforcement agency or office? If not, how would it ever have any value? Or do you act on some of these anonymous tips yourselves?
If some anonymous tips are conveyed, directly or indirectly, to LE, who determines, and how is it determined, which tips go to LE and which do not?
And what about those controversial Amherst Tips? Should they be sent to a special place such as Box 777, Cement Shoes, Connecticut? Or should they be called in to sevensevensevensixthreeoneone? Hard to tell the difference sometimes. When I think of guys like John Connelly. And all his buddies.
Thank you.
