the reported phone call received by Billy is convincing evidence to me that Maura may have been taken and/or held against her will at some point prior to her confirmed disappearance.

Oh, speaking earlier of the storage unit set-up biz, I noticed tonight there's a couple in town from Delaware whom I met almost two years ago at a Brattleboro storage unit facility right after they had transported stuff north from the Philadelphia and Greenwich CT areas up to Brat to be sold in a local auction.(Never, ever sell near where the stuff came from.) Dark slate-blue Ford expedition, Delaware tags, with a U-Haul trailer. Trailer had Ontario reg plate M12-082. Were parked here on the 200 block of Federal St for a while.
The Brattleboro storage unit owner I knew held the paper on the Bowman property from which Tina and Bethany Sinclair are believed to have disappeared in February, 2001.
So weird to buy things at the local auctions that have so many connections to missing or murdered people. Not sure why that happens. I'll never forget being offered practically a library of books that had previously belonged to a convicted ex-priest rapist from the Worcester Diocese. Really gave me the chills, especially when I discovered that he was in frequent contact with people searching for Molly Bish. Very weird world.
And then I found out recently that the Springfield RC Diocese gave - totally free - in 1980 a building lot in Chicopee Falls to the brother of the woman who was imitating Frank Kelly on YouTube. Their father had shot their mother to death at a truck stop about 16 years earlier.(Ooops, I think I already posted this. Sorry.) The mother was getting ready, with the assistance of her neighbors, the Monahans, to leave her husband. Horrible story. The appeal is online. She is also investigating the Molly Bish case. She has worked for my brother's best friend's jet charter company, Key Air, the biz that bribed Gov. John G. Rowland out of office and into federal prison in 2004/2005. Ex-military, close quarters combat training, bartender in Amherst area... Sorry if I've mentioned this before.

Hi SW, I think the following is good thinking, I can't remember who said it: If Maura was kidnapped and held captive what are the chances that she would be able to access her cell and make a call, however brief? Whoever wrote this offered that it is more likely that she was on her own and just wanted to hear Billy's voice "one more time" before making the final break.
Which would be why he and Sharon heard sounds of her crying. Sharon said she has heard Maura crying when Billy leaves and she recognized these cry's as being Maura's. Very sad.
Good night all.

Hi Dawn ,i asked the same question and again we are back to Mauras ' prior life which was a mess.Amy Markopoulos joined MrMurray for a drink or dinner at the Amherst Brewing Co after a race in R.I.I have never been clear as to if they both dropped mr Murray off at his motel or it was just Maura or why did he expected her later.Nobody from Mauras prior life that actually knew Maura has ever posted anywhere.I have to think they just dont' care or they know something.When will they give that ATM video to mr Murray so he can see who is on it and if the saturn is visible or at least know if Maura was taking cash from the correct ATM.TAKE CARE PHILIP

There is no evidence of foul play (as far as I know) and I regret the years of speculating about the Rt. 112 neighbors who were good enough to come forward as witnesses.
I regret that the idealized image given to us of Maura didn't seem "real" since we all have flaws. It's too bad that being fed this image for years caused many of us to seek out the facts of Maura's life, as well our wide range of scenarios. Had we been given a truer image of this bright, beautiful athlete, we might not have been forced to continue with often wild and hurtful speculations. It appears one reason we were fed this idealized image was to keep us from even considering that Maura might have run away or taken her own life.
How many snippets of information (e.g., blood in the A-frame house) that had nothing to do with Maura (apparently) were dropped on us to keep us focused on evil goings-on in the area or a serial killer? There seems to be a huge whitewash here!!!(Sorry WHITE WASH!) And I would blame the whitewashing for bringing out our human nature --- looking for facts.

CW did not come forward, he was ratted to the police by someone in the neighbourhood, re: bragging how he saw a youth re: witcherville area on the 112.
The school bus driver told falsehoods, reA: drinking not drinking, lying to the family saying she was not drinking, telling police she was. Saying he was a former police man. His version of what he did after he left the accident scene does not match his neighbours.
So the impression you give of helpful neighbours is not one of truth, yes some neighbours were helpful, but not all.
Maura was not idolized, in fact every tom dick and harry has had their 15 minutes of fame saying horrible things about her and her family.
Law enforcement considers Maura's disappearance a criminal investigation, therefore, the notion that she ran away or committed suicide are out.

no, it is possible to meet with something sinister anywhere. But the fact that the investigation is centred in Haverhill says that she met with harm there, disappeared from harm. Who ever picked Maura up, picked her up near the crash site.

Skeletal remains found are too old to be missing Mass. woman
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
Union Leader Staff
www.theunionleader.com
A hiker out on a scavenger hunt Friday discovered human skeletal remains in a rugged and remote region of Mount Kancamagus east of Lincoln, state police said last night.
Police quickly ruled out that the remains belonged to Maura Murray, the Massachusetts woman who disappeared from Haverhill on Feb. 9. The remains are believed to be at least several years old.
“We’re looking into any missing persons/hikers reported missing from that area, and I’m aware of one and maybe two from the last decade who were in fact missing and not found,” State Police Lt. John Scarinza told the Sunday News last night.
Authorities hadn’t determined whether the remains were of a man or woman.
“We’re going to send the remains to the medical examiner for identification and cause of death,” he said.
A jacket and sneaker were found at the site. Scarinza said the items “appeared to have been out in the elements for quite a long time.” No further details were available.
The hiker reported his discovery to State Police Friday and authorities waited for sufficient light before heading out with the hiker yesterday to find and recover the remains in an area more than 3,000 feet in elevation, he said.
“It’s certainly safe to say he was bushwacking off the trail, which is probably why he had located the remains and others have not through some pretty rugged terrain up there,” Scarinza said.
He said the hiker, whose name wasn’t available, was participating in a treasure hunt....
Members from State Police, the New Hampshire Fish and Game and the U.S. Forest Service removed the remains from the mountain, which is located south of Route 112 in the town of Livermore, about 8 miles from the center of Lincoln. Authorities took approximately nine hours to reach the site and return with the remains.
The skeletal remains were found about 25 miles east from where Murray was last seen. The discovery isn’t unprecedented.
“In my career in the past 25 years, I know of at least several occasions where skeletal remains have been found in northern New Hampshire,” Scarinza said.
Meanwhile, the families of two missing women came together in Haverhill yesterday to plead for help from the public and federal authorities.
Fred Murray’s daughter, Maura, 21, disappeared on Feb. 9 in Haverhill after a car accident.
The Weymouth, Mass., man was joined by Bruce and Kellie Maitland of East Franklin, Vt., whose daughter, Brianna, 17, was last seen on March 19.
Also lending their support were Charlotte and Michael Riley of Chester, parents of 20-year-old Amie Riley, who was last seen leaving a Manchester bar in August. Her body was found last month in a marsh.

Two (2) times I called people on this stuff and was told to mind my own business or there would be hell to pay. I also called Concord and was told it would be looked into. Nothing was ever done about it so I had nowhere else to go with it. Corruption is a wonderful thing isn't it?
