Whats up DC! I think the intersting thing about the rooms is that both girls packed, both girls went, but they never really finished packing.

(a) the blood-stained knife given to Fred by someone who said his brother may have been involved - police received this knife and did NOTHING with it,(b) the carpet samples - same result as part a,(c) phone records - they refuse to release any,.

Mason, do you think Maura may have lied about her roommate because she did not want her supervisor to see that she had boxes packed up? I have often wondered what day she boxed up her belongings.

***Bottom line is still, the Haverhill, NH citizens do not want to know that Maura was harmed in any way within their township.***
You can take most of the credit for the anger (if there is any) with remarks like this one.
It is hard to not see your disdain for the people of the Haverhill area but it's going too far when you outright lie. Do you purposely try to anger the citizens with your nasty remarks so they will NOT want to provide any help. I just don't get you.For over 4 years you've called the locals names and accused them of things. Don't you think it's time to stop with the hatred and work together?
This remark is absolutely NOT true. From the people I have spoken with thru the years and including myself there was not one person that didn't want to know what happened to her and especially if it happened here.
Stop with the nastyness Shack. It might be of benefit to everyone.

The family was interviewing witnesses because LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS NOT INTERVIEWING witnesses that lived within a MILE of the scene of the accident. The family was doing the job that LE *SHOULD* have done immediately following the accident. I would have been infinitely more infuriated than the Murray family if I found out the police didn't interview witnesses that lived right next to the scene of the accident.
How in the name of God could you possibly even dare to criticize this family for interviewing witnesses and people in the area after LE did *NOT* do this? Because someone on the forum that works with the family hurt your feelings so now you are vindictive enough to the point where you're going to criticize the family to try and get back at Det. Columbo so you feel better about yourself? Absolutely utterly pathetic.

Evidence pointing to her being in a rational state of mind is the e-mail to her professors. Obviously her plan was calculated and she was thinking clearly if she took the time out to e-mail her professors and write a coherent message. She also printed out directions to where she may have been headed in advance. Although we might not know her motivation for taking this trip, that doesn't mean she was delusional. Additionally she took her keys, cell phone and back pack with her when she left her car behind that night. That says a lot about what could have happened following her accident.

We have talked this to death but here we go again.
If someone repeatedly came to my house. Or snuck around my house and was going through my trash AND IN PARTICULAR WAS MAYBE SCARING MY FAMILY repeatedly by showing up without invite. Especially after I have answered their questions repeatedly and still had people appear in my yard uninvited. I would be more than a little pissed. It would not take me long to want to not have anything to do with them. If they were lucky I would call the police. If I thought they were a threat on another level it would get ugly. They have no right of entitlement to talk to me or my family or trespass on my land regardless of what they might think. Not legally, morally or otherwise.
You next thing you need to do is answer the question how many times does someone get to ask the same questions from the same people and getting the same answers before they would be considered a pain in the ass. Like I have taught my boys. The definition of stupid is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Mr. Murray can be both a pathetic figure and a pain in the ass if he or his representatives have done this. If you don’t believe me give me your phone number and address and let me call or visit you every day, unannounced. I’ll just show up going through your yard. When I see you I’ll ask you whatever question you want every time and then ask it again the next time I see you. But I won’t believe you so I am entitled to trespass and maybe come back unannounced to talk to my wife or kids. How many of these visits would it take before you called the cops or it got ugly?
If that is what they people in the area are putting up with no wonder they don’t want to see anything or anyone related to this case. Remember, the only people they may have to talk to is the police and only then to a point. No one is required to talk to the family the PI’s or anyone else.

Good points.. points that just compound the mystery as to where she was going and why. However, I think Fred Murray's answer to that question is as sufficient as can be: "It doesn't matter. We'll never know."
I strongly believe that there is no correlation between her destination that day and her possible abduction. So where she was going is irrelevant. Although I do agree it is a tantalizing mystery.

POSSIBLE SUSPECTS 1
(1) the construction worker who lived kitty-korner from the SBD,
(2) the driver of the red truck with MA (or temporary NH) plates, and
(3) the Hospital Employee, assuming he lied when he said that he saw Sgt Smith ahead of him on Rte 112 and actually arrived there before Sgt Smith.
Note that the Hospital Employee, assuming he didn’t lie, did not see anyone walking along the road between the Stage Stop and wherever he lives on Rte 112. Therefore, if Maura left the scene on foot alone and walked along the road, she must have walked up to the intersection and turned right onto Bradley Hill Road.
If the construction worker was home, which I believe he has admitted, and looking out the window, he would have seen her. Did he seize the opportunity, approach and convince her that the cops would search for her along the road all the way to Benton and arrest her if they found her? Or, as previously indicated, perhaps he approached her while she was still at the Saturn after the SBD left her and persuaded her to grab some of her things and come with him to avoid arrest.
Keep in mind that she remained in the car until the SBD arrived, which had to be at least 10 minutes. Apparently, the idea to flee the scene to avoid arrest for DUI had not occurred to her or, if it had, she was not in good enough condition to attempt running away.

From time to time people have wondered about the telephone call Maura received Friday morning at 1 am when she was working at the dorm sign-in desk. The call upset her terribly and her supervisor actually walked her back to her dorm and recommended she see a counselor. When the supervisor offered to accompany Maura to her room, Maura declined saying that she didn't want to disturb her roommate. Maura didn't have a roommate, however. Subsequent investigation by campus police revealed that the call was placed by someone within the university system but that person has not been identified. Campus police cryptically said that whomever made the call had "moved on."
The best theory that anyone came up with, as far as I can tell, to explain her sudden decision to leave school for a week and drive north is that maybe Maura took a break from work and went to the store. While she was out driving the Saturn, she struck Petri Vasi in the intersection at Triangle and Matoon streets and fled the scene. Vasi was discovered lying in the street unconscious by the police at 12:30 am, which was 30 minutes before Maura received the terrifying phone call. He was admitted to Bayside Hospital in critical condition with multiple serious head injuries. He was in a coma for a month and when he could speak, he said he recalled nothing about the accident. Perhaps the 1 am phone call was from someone who witnessed the accident and this news sent Maura into her downward spiral.
Here's a post by Advocator (message 1391 @ p. 69) that addresses whether she had an alibi at work and I repost it for the group's consideration
"As to alibi, Maura had her security desk job as an alibi. Supervisors checked the security desk personnel approximately every 20 minutes (according to KMayotte, security supervisor of Maura that night, on the MMM forum). So if Maura did duck out and try to drive somewhere that night, she ran a huge risk of this being discovered.
Also, the entrance to the building where Maura worked was by "key card". These key cards became de-activated at 8:15PM and students had to be buzzed in or otherwise allowed in by someone already inside the building, so if she had left to take a chance and try to run an errand in 20 minutes, someone would have known when she came back because someone else would have had to let her back in."
Food for thought.
