Where is MAURA MURRAY

THERE WAS NO NOTE TO BILLY FROM MAURA. THIS STATEMENT IS UTTERLY UTTERLY FALSE. It has also been retracted by its speaker, Lt. Scarzina of NHPD.
The following is quoted directly (copy and paste) from the Websleuths site, by "Peabody" who is a close family friend of the Murrays:
"It is a FACT that Maura did not leave a note for her boyfriend in her dorm room or in any other place.
LT. Scarinza in his remarks ***First**** said there was a note and alluded to the fact that the note was a suicide note. Because UMass Police told the family they found no note and the boyfriend was in the room and found no such note, the family insisted that the content of any such note be shared with them IF such a note was in existence. AFTER ***much*** insistence that he correct this error, and the boyfriend's mother publicly stating that Lt. Scarinza was a "liar" in the Caledonian Express in July 04, Lt. Scarinza posted a press release on the internet (which has conveniently been removed for some time) saying "I meant to say that there was a note from the boyfriend to Maura." He did not address the issue of his insinuation that it was a suicide note.
The boyfriend said all along that the only notes in Maura's room were notes and letters FROM him to her that were dated over the several years during their relationship.
FYI: For those of you new to this forum, I am a close friend of the family, and have been helping them since first learning of Maura's missing."
From Peabody on Websleuths

For one thing, at that point you were not able to transfer directly into UMass's nursing program (they have recently changed the requirements, per UMass's nursing school web site). One used to apply for admission at UMass, and THEN, once accepted, APPLY INTERNALLY to the nursing program. It was two steps. She could not at that time go directly from West Point's chem eng to UMass's nursing.
Also, I believe Billy had graduated West Point by that time. I know he was a few years ahead of her.

Peabody also stated (on websleuths)that Maura & Billy were on the verge of getting married. Which they were not even engaged. And Fred had no clue they were talking about an engagement, never mind marriage. I don't think Peabody's word is fact.

A question for all. Wouldn't it make sense to carpool with such a long drive to clinicals? My daughter went to nursing school many years ago and even then they carpooled everywhere! My brother went to nursing school in Tennesee and they carpooled 110 miles to clinicals. By the way, he received straight A's in his classes and dropped out because of clinicals, pediatrics at that!

Part Two
It's rather absurd for the PI's to say that these inquiries are not important when anyone with half a brain knows otherwise. It is a blantant attempt to detract inquiry. What's the pupose of this forum, if not to find Maura Murray? I'm not saying that anyone on this forum has a snowball's chance in hell of finding her, but why all the inconsistency? In my mind, someone like Mason or Alden will probably find Maura or who ever is responsible for her dissappearance before Weeper or Columbo. Anyone with half a brain here can see something is not right. Just go back and read all the posts on this thread and see for yourself.
Snowy, you are going to have to accept that not eveyone who posts or lurks on this site trusts the PI's, LE's, or family. The proof is in the pudding. You can read it in between the lines with certain posters, and the way the conversation is angled. The reason for this is that anyone with even the slightest analytical mind can see how conversation on this forum is controlled. The posters here often get frustrated with the impenetrability and stop posting. I'm guessing that many of us, like myself, feel very compassionate towards Maura because we have also been victims or no someone who has been a victim of injustice. We know how secrets can play a part in this. So before going into a "right to privacy" tirade, just think about how much injustice has been done in the world because of coverup and secrets. We know for whatever reason that PI's, LE's, etc., have problems doing their jobs when their objectivity is compromised. I don't doubt for a minute that there are posters on this board who know more than they are letting on, and participating in the cover up through their very clever detraction tactics. Like you, when I see something going on here that I don't like, I'm going to speak up. So your just gonna have to live with it.

Is something in the water? Have people been put in a trance and are now just waking up?
Some here have been saying for years that the phone call that upset her is important and may hold important answers only to be told that anything before she left Amherst wasn't important.
What makes it all of a sudden so important now?

Maura and Billy were planning a wedding for the fall of 2005. So, yes, in a matter of a few months (18 is, after all, only a few)

I recall this topic coming up awhile ago. Someone posted a copy of the West Point Honor Code and I believe I recall a discussion in which someone pointed out that a cadet accused of violating the incredibly comprehensive code is given an opportunity to withdraw, or face prosecution for the violation. If the cadet opts to withdraw, the file containing the alleged violation is destroyed and no one is permitted to discuss the matter again.
Another person pointed out that one of the ways sexual assaults at West Point were covered up was to threaten the female victim with an honor code violation unless she kept her mouth shut.
I understood the bottom line of the discussion to have been that Maura was accused of an honor code violation and she accepted the invitation to withdraw. I don't recall anyone stating that they knew what the violation allegedly was, or whether she was a victim of sexual assault.
Family members have stated that her decision to leave West Point was triggered by her realization that the Army wasn't for her.
I have attempted to put together a timeline beginning with when she graduated from high school, which should have been in May or June, 2000 (she turned 18 on 5/4/2000). First year at WP would have been fall semester 2000 and spring semester 2001. Her older sister, Julie, and Billy would have graduated and received their commissions about 3 months before 9/11.
I believe Maura withdrew from WP before the end of the fall 2001 semester and I don't believe she enrolled at UMass until the fall semester 2002. She could have been out of school for 9 months to a year. I assume she lived at home, but I don't know. I assume she worked somewhere, but I don't know.
I believe she switched her major to nursing at the beginning of the spring semester 2003, and she had completed two semesters at the beginning of the spring semester 2004.
I posted this timeline here on topix and asked for corrections and comments. There was no response, so I assume my timeline was correct.
If she was basically kicked out of West Point, I wonder how the family reacted to the situation? Could Maura have fallen from grace all the way from daddy's favorite to the family's embarrassment and everyone's pet fix-it project?
Did she choose to be a nurse or was nursing chosen for her because it would be the best fit for an officer's wife?
I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but I think the indistinct idea we have of Maura would sharpen considerably if we knew the answers.

Everyone,
This is synonymous with, "MY feelings get hurt when you smart people don't agree with my sci-fi fantasy conspiracy theories. I have these disturbed fantasies in my head where I WANT this case to be a huge, complex 'mystery', filled with all sorts of twists and turns, starting out with Maura's personal life and escalating into her delving deep into alcoholism while driving while suicidal through NH all while reading 'Not Without Peril' out loud to herself.' If you people don't agree with my ridiculous theories to help pamper my self-confidence, then I'm going to just say your theories are wrong because you did it to me!!"
mastermind, you can cry all day and night when people call you out for your stupidity. Everyone has read between the lines. Every single investigator, whether independent or hired or LE, that has done their work and analyzed the *FACTS*(keyword) of this case have all came to the same conclusion, which is that she was abducted to some extent. You don't seem to be able to comprehend yet that the reason everyone laughs at your theories is because you are convinced you see something that isn't there. No one is holding back information from you; this isn't some huge conspiracy to prevent the "mastermind" in Boulder, CO from solving the case and finding out the sinister truth!
Go watch "National Treasure" some more you little dweeb.
