Detective Columbo, who is a private investigator, has stated it was not Raykel. That was not enough of an authority for you?

Speaking for myself and no one else I wonder how he came to the conclusion that it definitely wasn't Maura. He may say it wasn't but why doesn't he say how he came to the conclusion?
Did he go to the church and talk to them, did he see a picture, did he talk to the man that saw her?
I think there would be so fewer questions if statements weren't thrown out as facts with nothing to explain how they became a fact.JMHO

Hello FireCat,
Sorry, but will all due respect to Det Columbo, that is still not enough of an authority for me.
Once a journalist, always a journalist....

Can you provide the time that Fred dropped her off on Sunday the 8th? We need to update Wikapedia - it says time unkown. That would help with the timeline.

Here's a quote from Maribeth Conway's article in the Whitman-Hanson Express regarding the scent trail.
"Wednesday's efforts did produce one significant lead. The lone search dog on the scene was given a black leather glove from Maura's car to sniff. Though the dog did not get any hits in the adjacent wooded area or from nearby homes, the dog did track Maura's scent near the intersection of Bradley Hill Road 100 yards eastbound from where her car was found.
***
The abrupt loss of Maura's scent in the middle of the road prompted officials to speculate that Maura got into a passing vehicle. Whether she did so voluntarily or was forced remains open to question."
Now you need to figure out where her car was and measure the 100 yds from there, which you can do with Google Satellite. From a combination of sources, I've estimated the crash site to be halfway between the curve and the Bradley Hill intersection, or 125 yds from either one. The scent trail, therefore, must end 25 yards before the intersection. I'm not satisfied this location is 100% accurate, but don't know how to be more precise without police reports.

What makes you say that? This web site is not for UMass Boston or any other UMass campus. It is for UMass Amherst.
UMass Boston, for example, has its own website, its own school of nursing and health studies, and its own clinical requirements; to wit, from the UMass Boston College of Nursing and Health Sciences handbook (http://www.CNHS.umb.edu/current/handbooks/doc... )
General Statement Regarding Clinical Policies and Procedures:
Nursing students are introduced to patient care, the health care system, and the nursing and health care professions through clinical experiences. CNHS offers clinical experiences in a variety of settings including Boston area hospitals, community organizations, and other health care agencies.
The CNHS maintains contractual agreements for clinical experiences with numerous agencies.
I hope this clears up any questions, moose.

I don't understand this. I honestly don't. Every time it was asked (usually by Philip, actually) it was ANSWERED. Answered answered answered, except when I and others got tired of answering it. Yet every time it was answered, the rejoinder was that it was impossible. It's not impossible. It's A FACT.
Go back and reread the earlier pages of Topix. Those of you who apparently have some pages of the MMM forum archived--of whom Philip is one--go back and see. Helena answered this the first time it was asked. And many subsequent times. I answered it myself a number of times in the past four or five months--that it was KNOWN. I'm not the only person who answered, either, because I couldn't remember the name of the location--someone else answered "norwood."

Hahaha --- FireCat, that's EXACTLY what they'd be thinking!
How can I doubt what Helena said since I've got no other information!? But it never hurts to express what your (i.e., MY) common sense questions.
I am still curious about liability for accidents and injuries of nursing students sent far distances. Maybe Mason know the LAW PART. I mean, they make you sign waivers when you take a swimming class in case you slip on the tile!

Hello....
You must be mistaken...... I believe that I have not mentioned Raykel or anything about her in any of my posts. If I am wrong, Sorry, but my memory has no recollection of discussing this or any other forum.
