Lady Gray since you are the family spokes person and seem to have so much information.

My question is this was the inventory listed as
sports bra? Or UNDERWEAR? UNDERGARMENS?

What exactly was the termnology used on the inventory list?

Maura spent extended amounts of time at the home of Billy. Sharon has confirmed, with me last year, that while at their home, Maura would do her laundry, and, yes, she wore underwear.
Underwear was not included on the inventory.

Part 1
Mr. Frederick Murray
Governor Craig Benson
Office of the Governor
107 North Main Street
Room 208
Concord NH 03301
Governor Benson:
My daughter, Maura Murray, went missing after a one car accident on February 9,
2004 at
approximately 7:00 PM while she was heading east on Route 112 near North
Haverhill, New
Hampshire. Eye witnesses place her at the crash site at one (1) to two (2) minutes
before the
local police arrived and no one was seen to stop and pick her up in a vehicle. This
means that
when the police reached the scene Maura could have been no further than a
couple of
hundred yards up the road around the first corner walking away. Another witness
who stopped
and talked with her reported to the police upon their arrival that the driver of the
car was a
young woman of approximately twenty (20) years of age. He added that he
thought she had
been drinking. There was an empty beer bottle found in the car and in addition,
there was a
spider hole in the driver’s side of the windshield indicating that she had struck her
head at
impact. The temperature that evening was twelve (12) degrees.

Given these known facts it was grossly negligent of the police to not dispatch a
cruiser in
active pursuit in a spirited effort to retrieve an unsuspecting and vulnerable girl
with a possible
head injury and subject to hypothermia because of alcohol and frigid temperature
before she
wandered into the pitch black of the national forest looming just ahead.
The police had full knowledge that if she were to encounter someone with ill intent
that she
would have no place to hide, no place to run and absolutely no help available.

Furthermore,
duty as well as common sense obligates the police to call ahead to the next town in
the
direction they had to assume she was heading. They knew they had not passed
her as they
drove east to the accident site during their response to the “911” call. The
Woodstock police
were not notified nor asked to send an officer to intercept her by driving west in the
direction in
which she was approaching.
She was figuratively and nearly literally “right there” readily available to be rescued
and saved
from whatever fate has befallen her. All that the police had to do was to expend
minimal
mental and physical effort and my daughter, Maura would be safely here with me
today. But,
unfortunately, the police neglected to make even the most basic effort to find her,
and I remain
without her now and perhaps forever.
The onus of this irresponsible and possibly fatal lack of action lies not only with the
North
Haverhill force, but also with the New Hampshire State Police who responded to the
“911” calls
from the neighbors as well.
Recently, nearly three (3) months after the accident, a motorist who was driving
west on Route
112 at about 8:00 PM on February 9 reported seeing a young person acting
furtively heading
very fast in an easterly direction at a point about four (4) to five (5) miles away
from the scene
of the crash. The time line and description of the individual’s appearance and
clothing fits
perfectly for this person to have been Maura.
This witness lives within just yards of the accident site, but said he had been
confused about
the exact date and time of that event because the state police had not interviewed
him until 10
days had passed. As hard as this is to believe, it is actually true since an
investigator helping
the family questioned him on Sunday, February 15 and he said the police hadn’t
been there to
talk to him yet. At this point I appealed directly to the state police to pay attention
to
rudimentary procedure and turned our notes over to them. This apparently
prompted a
belated response which led to the questioning of this witness on Thursday,
February 19.
That this nearly immediately located neighbor who could have been a prime
source of critical
information should have been questioned in a timely fashion on the very evening
of the
accident or, at the latest, on the following day is a fully reasonable expectation of
adequate
investigative policy. If this had occurred this person would have had immediate
recollection of
the sighting of my daughter and a “hot lead” would have ensued.
Statistics, which are very well known by state police agencies, indicate that cases
get solved
from tips received in the first two or three days or they can go cold forever. To
wait ten days to
speak to such an obvious source of potentially crucial information based on his
proximity to the
event will be hard to explain even for those adept at this skill. It is no wonder that
the state
police are reluctant to release to me their accident report to which I am probably
legally entitled.

part 4
I get nearly physically sick when I wake up each morning and the thought of how
really little
effort it would have taken to rescue my daughter automatically flashes through my
mind.
It has been over three months since her disappearance and the only leads
developed have
been handed to the state police by others. Yet still these guys maintain that they
don’t need
any help. The FBI offered its assistance during the opening week of this case but
have only
been utilized in a very minor way such as interviewing family members and high
school friends
in Maura’s hometown of Hanson, MA, and also a couple of college acquaintances.
These
state police officers are great people personally, and I like them and respect them.
They are
the type of men and women that both you and I would be very pleased to have
living in our
own neighborhoods, but the inescapable reality remains that they clearly need
help in finding
Maura.
The finest resource in the world is available and you, sir, should direct Lieutenant
John
Scarinza and Troop F to accept its offer. There are corollary cases in Vermont
also and this
entire situation begs for central co-ordination and investigation by an agency
which is not
bound by the confines of the configuration of Grafton County and the Connecticut
River.
The young women in the northern region of your state are not safe and it is clearly
imperative
that you act decisively before you lose another. Deep within themselves, your
citizens are
nervously apprehensive and anxiously awaiting your response to this threat.
Respectfully,
Fred Murray

And one School Bus Driver who
offers to help her!
Fred Murray firmly believes HPD should have
active pursuit a spirited effort to someone
who I remind you LEFT THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT
on someone's private properly.

This letter makes it sound like we left this poor child out side!

People stopped to help her there was shelter around and she herself personally could have LOCKED HERSELF INSIDE HER CAR to wait for LE.

And we neglected this girl according to this letter.

Hmm, 33 burglaries and 73 property crimed in total the same year Maura went missing. This post from a local resdident in light of the stabbing death of Christopher Gray in the Woodsville area makes a lot of sense to me.

"WTF is happening in our community? When are we going to stop turning our heads to the trash that drags us down through fear tactics and random acts of violence? We all know who the perpetrators are, the ones who steal from our properties, intimidate and run havoc within our neighborhood. I hate to say it people as I am not talking at you but speak to you in hopes you'll listen, in reality many of you know where the problem lies and from whom it spawns but won't speak out. Now that you see the price paid by the loss of a young life and the tears of a shattered parents heart, there in lies the promise of more to come... are you ready for another useless tragedy? Are you ready to receive that call about your child? I would say that no, you are not, and no one should be.

The answer lies within.. wanting revenge or wishing to cast blame is healing for a moment though in the end delivers no real remedy, just like a band aid on a gaping wound, the gesture is nothing more than just that.. this is our future people, believe it. The time to stop this is now.

Cancer never "goes away", time is never forgiving and fear mongering malcontents never know the meaning of boundaries until you show them without question, clarity and decisive certainty.

This brand of dysfunctional unrest has no place in my back yard, in my neighbors yard or down the street from my home. If we learn to speak out, we may save a life, maybe even our own."

Very well said WW.
I can't tell you how many times I have heard of an accident happening around here and the driver leaving the scene because they had been drinking.
It is not uncommon for a driver to flee to try to save themselves from a DUI.
It is evident that Maura did not want to be seen or found that night.I think the police did all that they were supposed to do that night considering that there was no evidence of a struggle or fight taking place.

While I'm on it!
Seriously please within reason take an educated guess on how much WE the tax payers have spent on
this case alone?
I am not saying there a price tag on a life but
tell me HOW MUCH OF YOUR OWN CASH have you put towards this case?
It's really easy to sit back and judge or do this or that!
But when it comes to people putting their CASH where their PIE HOLES are not many stepping up.

Do you remotely understand that Maura was one of the 73 causing property crime?
So because she left an accident and is now missing
you believe that is ok?
I just don't understand where you are coming from
when if she had stayed with her CAR which was her RESPONSIBILITY we wouldn't be having this CHAT would we?
Can you atleast step up and admit to that fact seriously.

lol..........My family pays through the nose in NH property taxes let me assure you of that.

I have one uncle who pays well over $30,000 a year in property taxes. He has no vote because his ocean front home is not his primary residence.
Now isn't that a find how do you do and a boot in the arse!

I donated $25.00 to the 2006 volunteer search.

hi quija and all,just thinking about what was found and was not found in Mauras room.

...

I think that someone in the Murray family has an inkling as to why Maura left.they know here history
FYI - I once had a _best friend_ that I talked to every take off and planned to kill himself.

I was clueless. His whole family appeared to not have an idea.

He didn't succeed.

10 Years later I thought he'd never try it again - he did - I was clueless and he did kill himself - at age 32.

Not to Phillip - but in general - I don't think I can do much here.

Also, the bashing here is pointless - but you all are free to waste your time.

No I don't understand what type of property crime Maura committed.

Did she hit a gaurdrail, maybe 1-3 miles from where the Saturn was found at the Weathered Barn?
