Where is MAURA MURRAY

Are there any "off the grid" communities in the North country?

I'd steer clear of Osama Bin Laden, if you happen to see him before he sees you.

Seriously, I don't know anything about Maura's religious beliefs, although I have reason to believe that she's a deeply spiritual person.

If anyone knows if she was a regular church-goer, even if it was before she went away to school, please let us know because she may attend the same denominational church now.

She may have been raised Catholic, since she's Irish, so I'd check-out Catholic churches, if that's true.

Didn't someone mention that the phone call was made from a campus payphone? Anyone remember?

I don't recall reading that it was a payphone. A poster who was a student at UMass when Maura disappeared said there are campus phones in the common areas of the SW dorms that function just like lobby phones in hotels.

Aren't payphones another extinct victim of the War on Drugs? I haven't seen any around for several years now.

Shame on you! Sarah Palin would go. Who would pass up a chance to learn to speak in tongues?
Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
Seriously, can we rely on the statement that she never returned to the church?

Mason,

I wouldn´t rely on any statements in this particular context.

According to Maura's friend, Sarah Alfieri, Maura has a great sense of humor and she loves reading The Onion.

That's all I know about her. I wish I knew more, but since her personal information has been dismissed as unimportant, I guess that's all we're going to have to work with.

Shucks, I almost forgot to mention that she's the All American Girl, a description that really pisses her off, I suspect.

Hello all,

Since there was no "up-take" on my post # 12577, I take the liberty of re-iterating my question:

Regarding the disputed "Raykel" sighting in the Barton, VT, church:

I remember that somebody on this forum once mentioned having seen a girl looking very much like Maura on the website of some kind of religious community near Irasburg, VT, which is not far from Barton, VT.
Apparently the picture in question is no longer available on the relevant website, so there is no way of checking this out.

Anybody else remembers this discussion back in the summer (?) of 2008?

Touche, EB.
But my source for the remark by Kathleen is Sniffin, who overheard it and even Citigirl passed up a chance to controvert what I wrote about towing the Saturn to Amherst. Yes, I was sarcastic in the manner that I expressed those facts, but as always, the facts speak for themselves.
I just wanted to compliment you on the shot you took at me. Nicely done.

If you are going to listen to an ignorant local (I'd gladly say this to your face 'sniffin)observing a family member of a missing person under quite of a bit of stress, anxiety, and anquish so bit it.

I'd re-check your facts though regarding sniffin's statement. You seem to think Maura has just one sister and this is not the case.

I am not here to fence with words or play games.

I am here to support Maura's family and the the persons whom are out there on foot searching for Maura.

Not knocking this thread at all, but IMHO if Maura's disappearance is to be correctly understood it will require a more detailed knowledge of Amherst.

MA and federal LE has some of that knowledge, but they seem stalled out. Maybe not, but that's the way it looks.

How come?

EB,

My remark was in response to a post in which the poster said Maura did not receive an upsetting phone call because, according to Kathleen, Maura just put on an act to get out of work early.

I also said that I do not believe Kathleen hates Maura, but there's some kind of jealousy issue apparent from what she said about Maura, so everyone should consider that in assessing her credibility.

Wasn't Kathleen the sister who sobbed uncontrollably as she held Maura's shoes in the motel room after LE released Maura's stuff?

Love is complicated. I know that. Please don't take my remarks out of context.

EB,

BTW, I also said that Fred didn't hate Maura. I said his conduct showed that he was very angry at her.

I believe that is a reasonable conclusion to draw. Jeebus, I didn't even speculate about why he may have been angry. I don't know, so I didn't say anything.

You folks need to read before your nimble fingers start moving.

Oh many one your back - as Beagle...

Nope, none at all.(beholding the irony).
It could be anyone who uses a proxy server and is able to route it through Tampa.
It could be you, Alden.

There are sound conspiracy theories, but this isn't one of them. Sorry.

Just had brain transplant. Old one too split. Had to use too much tin foil all the time. And the med bill was multiple times higher than it should have been. Received excellent group discount from surgeon. New brain works pretty good, very unified, focused.

Didn't the picture seemingly disappear from the website around the time the discussion started?

I've had several years to read up on the facts and statements made by Maura's family members and loved ones. Your 'reasonable conclusion' is unfounded.

Mr. Murray is directly quoted as saying that the accident Maura had with the Corolla was not a big deal.

Yes I do...

Who was in her dorm room first? Hard to say because there were probably several people with keys to the room.
