Where is MAURA MURRAY

Thanks!
I believed there wasn't enough information when
first presented to AMW but maybe now there would
be enough to get it aired.
Can't hurt to contact them again right.

hi white wash and all .in 2002 umass amherst started to install cameras at every entranc and exit to every buildin.When they were installed and if some of them were replacing existing cameras i dont' know.THEinstallation was to be completed by the end of 2006 and was to cost a half a million dollars.Just one student that was there then could tell us if Kennedy had cameras.Where are all those people .Petrit Vasi said he would help if he could .Can someone here ask him please .take care philip

We have no proof that show didn't run it
we have seen nothing published by AMW that
the LE didn't provide information to them.

Sadly our Fish & Game do not have an wealth of funds not to mention it not very easy to search
at night in NE with what little man/woman power
F&G has.

LE made numberous attempts to make contact with the family that night and on Tuesday and it wasn't until early after noon after the search
they knew for sure it was Maura and the BOL was
issued.

Also - I did reach out to the admin at mauramurray site. The family did provide AMW a CD to feature the case - they chose not to. They forwarded me an article - it was featured in June 04 of Seventeen magazine. I don't understand how the LE would not want it profiled - only one reason - showing their mistakes for taking so long to search for her.

'America's Most Wanted' Producers Decline To Profile Missing Woman Case
Seventeen Magazine To Publish Story

HAVERHILL, NH - The television show "America's Most Wanted" will not profile the case of a 21-year-old University of Massachusetts nursing student who disappeared the night of Feb. 9 after she was involved in a one-car crash on Route 112 in Haverhill.
Maura Murray, a resident of Hanson, Mass., and a junior at the UMass Amherst campus, was driving a black 1996 Saturn at about 7 p.m. when she failed to negotiate a sharp left-hand curve and went off the right side of Route 112 after driving past The Weathered Barn.
Jeremy Cohen, managing editor for "America's Most Wanted," says Murray's case will not be profiled on the Fox network's TV show.
"I know about the case," Cohen said. "I have been aware of it since it happened. Unfortunately, we can't do many missing cases at all."
He says the show devotes most of its missing people air time to cases involving children.
"As for adults," Cohen said, "we only do it when there is clear evidence of a crime."
Unless it's clear to the show's producers a crime has been committed, a case won't be aired.
"It's been our experience when we can't tell our viewers what to look for, we don't get a response," he said. "We save our space on our show (for a case) only if it would be successful. Unfortunately, we turn down a lot of cases."
While "America's Most Wanted" officials are refusing to profile Murray's case, Seventeen, a magazine geared toward 12- to 24-year-old girls and young women, is very interested.
Members of the magazine's staff have been interviewing Murray's friends and family members. Elizabeth Dye, a spokeswoman for Seventeen, said there isn't a run date yet for the story, though she feels it should resonate among the magazine's subscribers.
"We feel like other young women can learn from circumstances from everyday situations," Dye said. "We also believe there is a community of readers out there who may be able to help."
She said Seventeen's readers will be able to identify with Murray.
Dye said Seventeen's circulation is 2.1 million readers, but she estimates the magazine actually reaches about 14 million people through its presence in doctors' offices, libraries and other venues.
Fred Murray, Maura's father, has been searching the area where his daughter had her accident every weekend since he was notified. He was not happy with the decision of "America's Most Wanted."
"I am really disappointed," Murray said. "It has an extensive audience and is so influential."
Lt. John Scarinza of New Hampshire State Police Troop F and Haverhill Police Chief Jeffery Williams both have said they, too, would welcome the TV show profiling the case.

part 2
If the show did profile Maura's disappearance, he said, maybe someone somewhere in the country, who may have been traveling through the Haverhill, N.H., area the night of Feb. 9, may recall seeing something. Or they may remember having seen her get on a bus somewhere.
"It's just the national scope of it," he said. "Plus, it would put pressure on the state police to call in the FBI. You have two close to one another, geographically and chronologically."
Murray was referring to not only his own daughter, but also to Brianna Maitland, 17, who has been missing since leaving work late the night of March 19. Maitland's car was found with its rear end in an abandoned building about a mile from the Black Lantern in Montgomery, Vt., during the early-morning hours of March 20. She hasn't been seen since.
Murray, though, is happy Seventeen magazine will be profiling his daughter.
"I will take any help I possibly can get," he said. "Everything helps."
Sharon Rausch, whose son, Billy, is Maura's boyfriend, is also glad Seventeen is interested.
"I am thrilled," Rausch said. "This has been in the works for awhile."
She said the magazine had sent an e-mail to Maura Murray's Web site, www.spbowers.com/mauramissing.html , leaving a message they were interested in publishing a piece.
Maura is 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 115 pounds, and has blue-green eyes and curly brown hair. Anyone with information should call the New Hampshire State Police at , or the Haverhill Police Department at .

Why did Maura need extra clothing?
Wasn't anyone at the apt they stayed ever interviewed?
<quoted text>

She needed the extra clothes because the weather was bad and they stayed overnight unexpectedly, from what I've read and heard.

Dunno if that apartment's occupants were ever interviewed. It sure as heck couldn't hurt, could it.

Oh--and Dawn, welcome to the mysterious disappearing/reappearing long first post phenomenon here at topix.:D

White Wash, I know you mentioned in your JO article that LE tried starting that night to contact the Murrays. Have you seen the phone records?

And before you ask or even wonder, it's not about you, and whether or not I believe you. You have your reasons to trust HPD. Others here have reasons to mistrust them and want proof. That's the only reason I'm asking.

Do you know because they told you that, or because you have first-hand knowledge of that (either because you heard the phone calls or because they showed you the record or whatever)?

I'm not being accusatory here. I'm really hoping you'll say "Yeah, they showed me the dispatch log."

I just looked at more photos on the mauramurray website. if you go into the picture 3 link - at the bottom you can click on the link of the photographer - this takes you to her site. click on the black and white photos and it brings up pictures from the search of her family. heart breaking.

I wish there was something we could do to bring maura home. This case has really gotten to me. I think about her alot and her what her family is going through. Someone knows the answers too.

Anyone here have a copy of the Hadley Accident Report? If so, could you please clarify by checking the intersection street names where Maura crashed Fred's Toyota? According to the Whitman Hanson Express it was at the T intersection of North Maple Street and North Hadley Rd. However, when checking with Google Maps, North Hadley Rd connects between Sunset Ave and Lincoln Ave, not North Maple.
Perhaps they meant Mass Ave, as this one does come to a T at North Maple.
Thanks.

This has always bugged me!
I could never ever get the time to match up!
Thanks as I re-read this DING!
My question is this if
Sgt. Smith 01 went by the witness on Goose Lane
then again on Swiftwater Road with there being
no traffic why wasn't this witness behind Smith?
Where did this witness go from the intersection
to Westman's that Smith was so far ahead of them?
This has never made sense to me and now it makes
even less!
<quoted text>

sounds like smith maybe took Cemetary Road to 112 instead of continuing to the intersection of Goose and French Pond to 112. Turning left onto Cemetary would put you just a bit further west onto 112 but still very near the area.

No calls were taken by AAA that night. With so many cars slipping off the road, this doesn't add up.
Something doesn't make sense here.

So many cars slipping off the road that night? My recall of that time frame was there was no new snow, that would lead to sliding off the road.

White Wash wrote:

I don't think many companys took AAA back then!
I think now most do around here.
Or the way to see it was there wasn't many accidents.
<quoted text>

Tic Tac Towing definitely took AAA in 2004. They towed my Suburban from White Mountain Road to Lisbon Chervrolet two weekends prior to Maura's disappearance

hi loking fora moose and all Lavooies was also a AAA towing service as of 2000.I now know if you call AAA about any towing for grafton county n.h. on feb09 2004 they have said numerous times there were no calls.White wash there are and were AAA towing services in the area.How does someone get AAA to hide the facts. Mauras AAA membeship was issued through Marengo county AAA in ohio through William Rausch, i assume Billys dad, they have 1 call for the Hadley accident on record.On the old forum Sharon mentioned at least 1 other time when Maura called AAA.They have no record of it. They say they only have one record of Maura using AAA on file.Something is really wrong with this story.Also the Rausch family provided Maura with a cell phone.Sharon or Helena any chance we can be deemed o.k to know what else was on the phone bill.I am not sure who you would need an o.k. from to put that information out but hazard a guess.take care philip

Thank You very much for posting this!!!
Very interesting!
Welcome and keep it coming!

Far Cry from LE holding up the show!
Does this really sound like people who
would turn the FBI away?
And coming from Gary Lindsay the Family's favorite writer.
So with that said I have more times
like this that prove LE to right than
wrong.
Lt. John Scarinza of New Hampshire State Police Troop F and Haverhill Police Chief Jeffery Williams both have said they, too, would welcome the TV show profiling the case.

What Chief Williams used for information was the police report
and files when I interviewed him
I did not see actual phone records
but ask to nor do I need to.
Sgt Smith spoke to Kathleen at what 4:40
and she calls Fred at 5.
Fred calls Dispatch at 6.
Fred has admitted to one call on his machine at 3:26. If they left one why
not the others?

For me trust has zero to do with this!

It's about making the information work.

If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem.

Sorry I don't have AAA and a little
spoiled on the towing issue so can
you explain how this works?
You are on the side of the road you have an 800 number and you call they
send a tow truck or do you pick?
We just had a teenager start driving
do you think AAA is worth the cost?
Thanks

Ok so let's say Smith took Cementary
Road which takes him to the lower part of 112 he still needs to come
by the bridge and up over the hill.
So the "Witness" is on a much shorter
route so the "Witness" would pull out
in front of Smith.

Sorry we drive Goose Lane a lot from
Woodsville to Mt.Lakes.

The whole exchange on Goose Lane isn't cutting it for me.

So this "Witness" should have been right on top of Maura if this timing is
all correct.
But they claim to have not seen her?

Well Whiston good questions.
I'll try to get some actual answers but
I thought the towing company billed
AAA and AAA paid the towing company.
So honestly they wouldn't get paid.
But what if it was a family AAA plan
and the calls where made under Fred's plan and not Maura's?
Call back and see if you can get all
cars listed to Fred Murray.
