Where is MAURA MURRAY

In my experience (haha), the MMM forums were cliques. Anything referring to Amherst, to Maura's entire prior life, to the police procedures followed that night being acceptable, to alcohol, to suicidal ideas, to running away, to family interaction problems, etc. were ignored or belittled. Same even if we ventured to suggest that perhaps Mr. Murray's attitude engendered a distancing of the local PD. Those forums were set up by extended family, so, altho "public", a part of their purpose was to control the direction things were going. I don't think that was unusual --- trying to create an image of Maura that everyone could admire and not find fault with. You really don't want discussion labeling her as "just a troubled girl" that the public would then dismiss.(Maura was not in that category IMO.)
Basically, tho, posters who weren't part of the old group were just left out, ignored, "spoken to" in PMs, etc. Although this forum is often totally out of control, posters get it together themselves and eventually get back on track. The new forum too allows thinking out of the box.
just my 2 cents' worth.

Wouldn't you want the perp arrestted BEFORE they strike again????????
I have always found them to be interesting. Sometimes almost scary how close they are to the real deal.
People always leave clues - there has to be some that have been over looked OR most likely case is that LE has not let them be known. After 5 years I would think it would be time to let out some info and follow the trail.

The only profiler I have worked with is Brent Turvey. I worked with him on the Guy Rasmussen case in Pierce County during the late 90s.
With the exception of Brent, I haven't had much regard for profilers. You could even say that I'm predisposed to not believe them. I'm also critical because the profile they develop in any given case can lead investigators to foreclose certain avenues of investigation which, if pursued, might have led to the perpetrator's arrest before the perpetrator struck again.
Profiling isn't very scientific, in my opinion.

PWAH! Thanks for the warning. Of course, having read it, and being a cat, and thus filled with curiosity......
....I looked.
AAAAHHHH! You used the word "panties." Please, in the future, refer to them as "prim white cotton undergarments for the behindular region." can be abbreviated to PWCUFTBR.
For those of you who think I've gone off the deep end, a while ago I caused a kerfluffle for using the word "drawers" because I have a deep-seated (oh my, excuse the pun!) personal aversion to the p-word.
Thanks for remembering, WW. I think.

The profile for the DC Sniper was one white male, it turned out to be two black males, well at least they got the male part right.

To whom did she turn for companionship? Someone of like mind who would understand how she felt? Or did she just immerse herself in study and work?
Questions like these fascinate me because I've experienced those states of mind. They changed me forever and I knew with absolute certainty that I could never go back.
