<quoted text>No, I don't think any of that was ok, being dragged through the mud, etc. I feel bad about the whole thing, angry even. I can see the problem from all sides now.... Each person has valid points, complaints...and some with each other. And no one is really wrong except the ones who did not hesitate to insult or trash someone knowly.

Sorry, been away at a conference for a couple of days so trying to catch up. Like I said rule of thumb. BUT, for me to disregard Occam I need to have a couple of elements. First, Occam can’t fulfill the facts fully. Second the more obscure theory must fulfill the facts better than the simpler theory. The few things that we know can simply be explained by her crashing her car, likely with alcohol involved and then running from the accident possibly with her crashing her car minutes before that crash and driving from that crash to the second crash.
Another thing that I will mention. At the conference I was at, one of the classes was on crime scenes. The officer teaching the class was a patrol officer who had eventually become a sergeant and then moved into SWAT were he attained the rank of Lieutenant. I had asked him about the circumstances of Maura’s crash and his first thought on hearing the description of the scene was that she ran away from the scene probably with alcohol involved (I should point out that I DID NOT mention anything about the alcohol found in and around the car) and was not likely to be treated as a crime scene. I then explained the later circumstances and of course he was taken aback and at that point obviously he was thinking that it needed to be treated as a crime scene. This was not a small town cop either. So again, I don’t believe any officer would look at those circumstances and think that any crime (other than fleeing the scene of an accident) was committed. Having seen my share of runaways from accidents I know I wouldn’t.

This is why I believe the odds against Maura encountering an opportunistic serial killer who just happened to show-up during a period of less than ten minutes that elapsed between the SBD's departure and Sgt. Smith's arrival are so astronomically high in her favor that one can almost say such an encounter is impossible.
I'm going to briefly revisit the issue of the red pickup truck to bury it. I cannot believe the cops and the PIs failed to thoroughly investigate the possibility that the driver was involved in or witnessed Maura's disappearance. In fact, I think it's impossible they failed to do that.
Detective Columbo has some splainin to do regarding why he brought it up recently and why he failed to answer some obvious questions that I'm sure he could have answered. For example, did this incident happen on the same evening in during the same time frame as Maura's disappearance?
I believe he deliberately tossed us a red herring and I am furious.
From now on I am going to presume that everything he posts is a calculated effort to keep us running like hampsters on a wheel.
Columbo, who's your master?
Why are you deliberately trying to obstruct our effort to solve Maura's disappearance?
You're representing the person responsible for Maura's disappearance, aren't you?
You're covering his trail by dropping false clues to attract attention to Haverhill, aren't you?
That means the answer will be found in Amherst, doesn't it?
You're disgusting.

There are 2 excellent posts by WTF on the new "move on from Murray" thread. And then there are of course the usual sentiments from the usual people about wanting an unknown person captured, tried and convicted for a heinous crime, a crime with no evidence that it was ever committed.

I do not know who KB is but I do know that the family of Nicholas Garza was absolutely hell bent on insisting that his disappearance was a result of foul play. They made it into a huge town/gown (Middlebury College) conflict. It turns out that a very inebriated NG slipped and fell into a fast moving stream. His death was an accident. But his family to this day still blame the citizens of Middlebury Vt for his death.

Thank you very much for your reply, Bill! This makes a whole lot of sense from many angles. Still - if she was a "runaway" under those circumstances, it was still a very cold night and a pretty lonely place. A prompt search was still warranted. I "understand" that LE could assume that "well, a drunk runaway from a crash - is a search a priority?" BUT I don't think that excuses a lack of a search. I also can understand later information regarding it as a crime scene - but why no mention by NH LE that it was NOW viewed as a crime scene? Isn't a car abandoned at a crash site a crime scene already? "Leaving the scene of an accident"?

Not THAT Bridgewater.(there are bridgewaters all over the Eastern states.) There's apparently one in Grafton County. Just read the log. It's there, I promise.
