Brian Rooney kidnapped her off a street in Burlington late at night when the bars were closing. He then murdered her and threw her body over a bank at The Huntington Gorge. Her body was found a few days later by hikers.
NOTE: BRIAN ROONEY was living in the Haverhill NH area at the time Maura went missing. He also hung out with alot of the drug crowd and stayed over at peoples houses for days at a time. He had a wife and kid in Gilman VT. just accross the Conn. river from Littleton NH. He drove a red truck (his personal vehicle)and worked for a guy doing landscaping and snow plowing.
Once Rooney was arrested they found a van at his house in VT. with Rags soaked with chemicals. LE surmised these were probably used to render his victim unconsious. It was later found out by LE that he even drug his wife and step daughter and then have intercourse with their lifeless. Scary thought.
I might add that THE RAG IN THE TAILPIPE found on Maura's car was certainly suspicious.
So there is a possibility that Brian Rooney could be responsible for Maura's disappearance. This info is known by LE, so one would hope they would have questioned Rooney about his whereabouts on the night of Feb. 9th 2004. If they have nothing has come of it thus far that we are aware of anyway.
Something to think about....speculation.
I will post a link to the story.
Columbo I have NEVER read a source referencing Rooney's living in NH as you claim. Are you able to confirm this information as factual? Here is some pertinent information about Rooney's chance meeting with Gardner-Quinn and prior history with women and female children known to him: Rooney is accused in the affidavit of molesting a girl in 1996 and 1998, when she was 12 and 14, respectively, and it says he made advances toward the girl's sister. Rooney is charged with lewd and lascivious conduct with a child, accused of fondling her in 1996 while in St. Johnsbury. He has also been charged with sexual assault, accused of drugging the girl in 1998 and having sex with her at his home in East Concord. "We have an individual who was preying on younger and weaker victims," said Vermont Assistant Attorney General Matthew Levine. Rooney's ex-wife, identified only by initials in the affidavit, obtained a restraining order against him in April 2000, according to the affidavit. She accused him of drugging her "many times so he could rape her." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/17/nat...

Can Det Columbo please tell in what area of BHR the red truck with the person walking around it was seen? Just wondering how close it was to my friends house. Since I'm not asking for names or anything personal it should not be a problem to answer this question.

It seems that many knew about the red truck at the store seen by RO but only a handful seem to have known about the red truck on BHR with a man walking around it. My question is why did several posters that have been following this thru the old forum and now Topix seem so surprised to hear this information? Why wasn't it talked about more? Why did the ones that say they knew about it let the people here run in circles over the RO truck and not mention the second truck? Why did this little tidbit of info just happen to pop out now? Things said here makes less and less sense every day.

I remember the info about the red truck on BH on MM site, wish I had it here to research. Brian Rooney working in the Haverhill area during Feb. 2004 was a suspicion after learning he worked in the Haverhill area off and on. Maybe he stayed with friends at the A frame? I did not hear about the van before. Try to bear in mind that gossip can be prolific, so you have to wade through the muck! Anyway the red truck on BH has been out for a while. There certainly appears to be reason to stop an unusual number of red/maroon trucks subsequent to the accident.

Columbo ***NOTE: BRIAN ROONEY was living in the Haverhill NH area at the time Maura went missing.

Did he stay over at people's houses in Haverhill for days at a time? Thanks

Dangle some info in front of everyone and get them going in that direction. An example...... Bradley Hill Road, red truck,man seen walking outside of red truck, Brian Rooney who supposedly according to Det Columbo was staying in Haverhill when Maura went missing. Hmm, what should people think?????

I stated Rooney lived in the Haverhill NH area at the time. He had residences in St Johnsbury and Gilman VT. These places are not too far from the acc. scene. He worked in the area for the landscaping and plowing guy. The former employer also stated firsthand to me that "He had picked up Rooney for work in the Haverhill and Mtn. Lakes area." I do not know any exact addresses or names as former employer would not share this info. Columbo

Weeper,
I especially like the tag line beneath your moniker that you chose for the new forum. It is very befitting.
Especially after reading the last several posts on this forum.

I did not interview the people on BHR, but was told the red truck was approx. 1/2 mile up BHR from rte 112 parked on the right side of the rd. Driver was out of vehicle.

Much different than him working in the area was a suspicion when it was learned he worked in the Haverhill area off and on. And MAYBE staying with friends at the A Frame is again much different than stating he was living in Haverhill. So which is it Anne, fact or just suspicion? Hopefully Det Columbo can verify these facts he has stated.

Columbo Thank you for answering. I'm a little confused though. The few plow guys around here drive their own trucks and don't hire outsiders to plow for them as it is their livelihood and extra money for heat etc in the wintertime. Since there's no landscaping in Feb. do you know what he did for work in this area?

Don't recall a red truck parked or seen on Bradley Hill Road EVER being discussed on the MMM forum. And I read every word of it back then ... maybe this particular discussion was held behind the scenes. If Brian Rooney had ever had Maura in his truck or other vehicle, I'm sure there would have been some kind of evidence, DNA or somethin', and since he's not out running around free seems like the public would be told he is suspected of having taken Maura.

When Rooney was arrested for the murder of gardner Quinn in VT. he no longer owned the red truck. This was 1 1/2 yrs later.
Rooney was working for the plow guy doing driveways, shoveling roofs and etc.

Wowzer, I have seen that you feel deeply insulted by comments concerning this. I have tried to state what I have heard aside from any fact available to me. It appears to me it makes no difference. And this would induce anyone to come forward? I wish I never had. Truth.

Rooney was working for the plow guy doing driveways, shoveling roofs and etc. And this plow guy was in Haverhill? Funny that no one around here has ever mentioned that fact. In such a small area as this it would have been BIG news if Rooney had worked here.

Excuse me for stating facts. Unless his former employer lied to me so he could be associated with a killer. I don't believe this to be the case. Also take a look at the pix that elsewhere posted, see the red truck, it is consistent with what RO stated she saw that evening. Thank You....Columbo
