I vaguely recall reading about an accident report regarding Maura's accident in Hadley. I never saw it. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
It would be unusual for a cop not to ask the driver of a vehicle that she wrecked to perform field sobriety tests, including blow into a portable breath machine, if she had alcohol on her breath. I don't know if the cop asked her to perform the FSTs, but if he did, she must have passed the tests, or he would have cited her for DUI.
She must not have consumed much alcohol during the course of the evening beginning with dinner at the brewery with her dad and ending sometime after the dorm party ended around 2:30 am on Sunday morning.
With that as background information, together with the SBD's denial that the woman driving the Saturn appeared to be intoxicated, I'm inclined to conclude that Maura was not intoxicated when she got into the accident just past the Weathered Barn.
Question: If Maura isn't a drinker, why did she buy $40 worth of booze before leaving Amherst?
Question: When she left the Saturn, why did she bother to take a bottle of vodka, bottle of Kahlua, and a bottle of Bailey's with her along with her phone but not the phone chargers or the diamond necklace Billy gave her?
Question: Doesn't that sound like getting together with a friend for the evening to share some mudslides and check on the car in the morning?
Question: Should we be looking for a female friend with whom she enjoyed sipping mudslides?

Mastermind, in his prior life, was a Mason who was determined to while away his days laughing at others that he viewed as being a Pansy. At other times, he just loved to say to others “Got your Goat!” Bart was a Beaver who loved historical figures such as Benjamin Franklin. ClaySoup also loved doppelgangers. And on and on and on.
After a while, true colors show themselves. Read with a fine and discerning eye.

It is most likely that Maura was driving Maura’s car at the car accident and it was Maura seen by SBD. The reason: It is the simplest explanation that fulfills the known information. I.e. someone who looks like Maura driving Maura’s car identified by an eyewitness who says it looked like Maura is a simpler explanation than the “Maura was abducted in Amherst and at least two people drove her car and another car so they could get back to Amherst from where they dumped Maura’s car to try to make it look like she drove there and then no one seeing the second car they fled the scene to return to Amherst where they are doing whatever with Maura” but never relating a single morsel of this master plan to anyone, ever, in five years.
To make it into a conspiracy complicates an already unwieldy story which is simply that Maura ran away from school, probably intended to be for a little while and in the process had a crash while very likely intoxicated. In running from the crash (very likely it was a second crash) she met with an unknown fate. Possibly by a bad choice she made or a bad choice she made in combination with the hands of another.

I suppose you have never laughed or told a joke in 5 years? And if Maura is found there are many other people out there that are missing for you to never ever joke again.
We both know that isn't realistic - but I'm not sure why you feel important to color a bit of fun into a crime. Its not a crime. All you hope to do is pick on Mason so he'll go away. I don't agree with everything he says - but I agree with more then I disagree - and when I disagree I say what it is I disagree with and why.
After your posts I still don't know what you disagree with - but if I or Mason knew - we might actually factor it in.

"Benjamin Franklyne," - The laughable sense of pride that you seem to speak with on this forum through the Internet to other virtual people indicates indubitably that your entire life revolves around the "Where is Maura Murray?" forum on topix.com . Instead of discussing and analyzing elements related to the disappearance of Maura Murray, you focus your entire existence on this forum around the other people who post here - who they are and what other nicknames they may have previously had on this forum, their relationship with the next person on this forum, whether they get along with the next person, what one person said about another one, etc. Rather than focusing on the context of what one is saying, you'll focus on them. You ostensibly don't have much of a social life, if any, in the real world in order to donate so much time to this site and be able to focus so intensely on what other people are doing. Anybody that possesses the ability to perceptively analyze can discern how pathetically serious you take what goes on in this forum, particularly in terms of non-Maura related material. From the posts that I've read from you which are impossible to eschew, and they seem to consistently appear every few hours for months, you care more about the other people in the forum than you ever will about Maura. I'm sure you'll dispute that to the death because, again, your entire life apparently revolves around this forum and God forbid your topix.com/Where-is-Maura-Murray reputation becomes jeopardized, but the proof is in the pudding. I remember commenting on something absurdly stupid that you said a week ago and I'm sure you became exceptionally butt-hurt although I don't remember what it was and I'm not going to scroll up. Do you pretend in your head that you're some type of admin on this site and so that makes you feel better?..To pretend that you have some level of power in some aspect of your life, albeit a web site dedicated to a missing woman? Stereotypical inferior complex. Why don't you just become a cop or a prison C.O.?
If you're going to spend your life on this forum, try to drop the inferior-complex and use your time and energy to analyze every single element that we know to be a fact surrounding Maura's disappearance in order to try and deduce something productive. "Mason" is a good example of someone who has spent their time and energy into creating very detailed, well-rounded and well-thought theories.

Obviously someone's been reading the forum and is upset that we might actually consider that she was drinking.
I don't care if she was drinking - what is more important is justice for Maura. No amount of drinking or anything else she might have done is more important.

What is the simplist explanation if the school bus driver didn't really see the driver clearly, didn't really talk to her - but later, said he saw Maura because he assumed that it was her because people were looking for her?

I've been thinking about Maura looking for directions to Attitash (Bartlett) Burlington (written directions) and Stowe. It sounds like a plan to get away for a few days or week. Did she ski? It does not sound like she is 'out of sorts' in any way. She finished a group project, returned some clothes, sent a few emails, etc...maybe her car had been repaired engine wise and she felt confident to drive it. She could have just gotten away to rethink some things...Also, I agree with Bill that following the accident with her dad's vehicle, most certainly LE would have tested her if he thought alcohol was involved.imho.
