Hahaha, I know. Maybe we should start looking for those 4 horsemen, or something.:)
Actually, much of what you say here makes perfect logical sense as a possibility....and the truth of the matter is, I *do* have partiality to one side, in terms of having strong personal and emotional connections to some of the family members. That's a bias that, alas, cannot be entirely avoided.
I've specifically tried to avoid saying anything about NH residents, because the bottom line is I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED OR WHO DID IT.(if anything, indeed, was "done." and there you have it, as close to what I think happened as I'll probably ever come right out and say.)
Whatever happened to Maura, if we can assume it was indeed she who was driving and spoke with SBD, happened in NH. Does that mean I think it was necessarily someone from that community? No--why should it? Maura wasn't from that community, and yet she was there that night. Why couldn't someone else from another area just as easily have been there?
Do I think Maura was the victim of a serial killer? I have no (freakin) clue. If she was, does that mean I think the serial killer was local? Heck no. I've periodically mentioned that the FBI well knows--and has for a while--that interstate corridors make for handy travel routes for serial killers posing as (or actually being) truckers. Haverhill isn't all that far off the interstate, in the grand scheme of things.
I try to steer toward the middle SPECIFICALLY because I want to remain open to any and all reasonable possibilities. Could she have run away and started a new life? Yes. Could she have killed herself? Yes. Could she have run away intending to start a new life and then run into trouble elsewhere? Yes. Do I think any of these are what happened? It's not what my instinct says, but my instinct has been wrong before.
Do I trust LE? Not totally, because they've done some pretty weird and/or questionable things, but I don't necessarily think they have odious intentions either. I really don't have enough specific facts on that aspect of it one way or the other.
One of the things that I am MOST INTRIGUED about, I will say, is that there are huge chunks of police dispatch log that are considered evidentiary and that Jeffrey Strelzin refuses to release them. THAT'S something that makes me go hmmmmm in a really big way.

PERI As a student of comparative religion I could if I chose educate you on the definition of the word KARMA. But I choose not to. It is not my job to. But I can assure you that it might be a good idea if you familiarized yourself with the meaning of the word before you sought to ban people for the use of it. Also look up the word fascism. Fascists censor the writings of people they do not agree with.

PERI A Hint - the word karma is from the Hindu and Buddhist religions.

Oh my god. First Nazi-ism, now I've been accused of trampling on the Bill of Rights. As well as being lonely, and old.

First - I didn't find John from Alexandria any more special then anyone else.
Second - Characterizing Firecat's activity on these boards as primarily for flirtation is extremely disingenuous.
Third - Just like Peri, Firecat and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum in opinion, but that is her right.
Fourth - when an ad homenim attack is made - its wasted effort, you're participating in a hamster's footrace, running in circles.

true, indeed, that on one occasion there was an extended exchange between FC, john and also Mason.
it occurred just prior john's leaving, and was followed by some heated debate the next day.
while Beagle was attempting to make some points about Maura, if i recall correctly, the conversation was diverted to ... yes, flirting. call it what you will, Ben.
no one could get a word in, edgewise.
i don't know who "neutral" is...but great to see my perceptions weren't off the mark.
anyway, Ben, why not just take a seat in the audience...and be impressed? what's YOUR problem?!!? LOL ;-)
question of the day is....WHO will be writing a book?
i know your position on this, EWB...and it's not something being encouraged...but i'm beginning to wonder. hmmmm. several have, are in process, and claim to have previously published.
