Where is MAURA MURRAY

What is bothersome about the BOLO is that it decribed a woman with long black hair.
Maura's hair is brown and as Weeper stated before cut in a bob style which is below the chin/shoulder length tops.

the house - parked on the other side of Bradley Hill pretty much
blocking 1 lane of traffic. They went along the road behind my garage
and down towards the river. Too bad they never stopped in."

hi all,i keep thinking about a few things.The key for the saturn was used to drive the saturn to N,H,and where and when did the liquor go form the mystery liquor store.I dont think there was enough time for Maura to get from the mystery liquor store and go hang out with someone.Maybe she was headng over there and was grabbed.Maybe she was going home to her mom and was bringing a gift.I am stilll wondering which one of her friends said she 'did not want to get her in trouble'when she was asked about Maura after she vanished and what did she mean.I wil see ifi can dig it up.take care philp

Not making a reservation because she/they will have a place to stay, or find one along the way.

For the most part, I've kept close tabs on my kids (as if I could keep them safe from a distance!) and liked to know their plans for weekends if they traveled away from campus.

I don’t’ get too rattled by things like that.
Many people expect that everyone will say the same thing and that everything they say will be entirely correct. This is almost never the case. People don’t see some things. Sometimes they (or their mind) fills in blank parts. An example, when police have eye witnesses they will usually use the combination of descriptions because there is really no way to know who has the most accurate. They will all have some differences and if they don’t its time to suspect that the witnesses got together and rehearsed their testimony.
Maura would wear her hair in a bun most of the time. The fact her hair was down just lends credence to my belief she was hit with the airbag during the collision. Her hair color at night. My hair color is actually dark brown which was very clear when next to black hair. Well it was when I had it and before what little is left is turning grey. Almost everyone says it black. At night I wouldn’t be surprised that anybody would call Maura’s hair black.
Small discrepancies don’t worry me. A female in her 20’s driving Maura’s car in New Hampshire, to me, is Maura until something very clearly changes that. I also have trouble filling in “the why” someone who stole Maura’s car would bother locking it and taking the keys if she had no vested interest in protecting the vehicle and contents.

I think, goat, that he's just saying that we shouldn't judge Maura or blame her if she was drinking and driving, or even had an alcohol problem--that neither of those things means she "deserves" what happened to her one bit.
But, yes, it would indeed explain that reluctance. So it might be important on that level. Just not on the level of she doesn't deserve to be missing.
I am explaining this so very, very poorly. Forgive me. But do you know what I'm saying?

I believe that the nose stays the same but not the eyes.My eyes look different than what they looked like 20 years ago. I believe eye shape changes with age, weight gain, weight loss etc but that's just my thought and I could be wrong.
I can't help but skim faces of young women when I go to restaurants here and in Maine. I look for that dimple that Maura has in the pictures when she is smiling.

Wowzer, I haven't read the posts after this, in case it's already been said, but I understand that a person's ears remain the same over time.(the upper cartilage more than the lobe that can sag over the decades...) I can get "documentation" on this if you want! But it's an ear-tight case.

She even went the additional step that many students don't bother--that of at least calling and trying to make reservations a few places.

Oh good lord I can't tell you the number of times I left campus for the weekend (once flying to Chicago 100 miles away) without my parents ever knowing. Unless of course they're reading this now.:)

I don't think documentation is needed nor do I want any. I only stated my opinion and said I could be wrong. The dimple on her face to me would be much more noticible than someone's upper cartilage on their ears. This is just something I happen to look for when in stores and restaurants. This is just my opinion. It is not documanted anywhere.
Jeesh people are testy today. Time to shut the computer down.

I learned through a NH Liquor Commissioner decades ago that the eyes and nose of a person never changes and to focus on this section of the face during the identification process.

Referring back a few pages -- someone had posted asking about a couple of photos in which Maura is shown with another dark-haired woman. In one photo, that woman has her arm thrown across Maura's shoulders, and in the other photo both of them were wearing black dresses. While I'm not positive, I think this other woman may be Maura's sister Julie. On the MMM webpage, there is a link to photos of Maura from the Early Years (something like that), and there is one picture showing all the children -- sister Julie in that childhood photo has features that (to me) closely resemble the woman the poster was asking about.
