Just some things I noticed with that geocities post... The writing doesn't seem familiar to me.... Doesn't seem like anyone who posts here regularly....
Examples:
1. Maura is living a content and satisfying life in the Province of Quebec.
"Content" instead of "contented".
"Province of Quebec" instead of the way most of us just say "Quebec".
2 and 3. Maura's being asked to leave West Point and all the ensuing criticism by her father was the beginning of a certain line of thought for Maura, culminating...
Don't remember ever reading the phrase here "a certain line of thought"
"Maura's being asked" vs. "Maura having been asked"
4. Maura's relationship with William Rausch was near its end. According to Maura's sister Kathleen, they were having 'serious problems.'
No comma before "Kathleen"
Not the usual quotes around 'serious problems'.
5. On the night of February 5 2004 Maura took a break from her job at the security desk at a UMass dormitory to go and briefly get coffee and some food.
Odd word order... "to go and briefly get coffee..." instead of "to briefly go out and get..."
Odd that there's no comma after Feb. 5.....
6. Sometime between 12 MN and 1 AM Maura driving her Saturn struck and critically injured the UMass student Petrit Vasi leaving him for dead.
I have never seen anyone here use "MN" for midnight.
7. Between 2 and 3 AM on the morning of Sunday Feb 8 Maura had a second motor vehicle accident wrecking her father's new car.
No comma after "accident"
8. Fred Murray's new car was towed around 3 AM to his Hadley motel room. Maura arrived at Fred's motel at the same time as a passenger in the tow truck.
Leaving out a comma after after "same time" makes this sentence unclear.
9. Fred was not happy with Maura to put it mildly.
Weird there's no comma or dash after "Maura"
10. Fred Murray has a history of domestic violence.
This is interesting because it's something a neighbor, LE, a P.I., or family member would know about from when Fred lived there and this occurred.
11. She and her new boyfriend travelled in tandem to Route 112 in NH (He was already in Southern NH).
Poor grammar/punctuation in dealing with the material in the parentheses...
ANYway, this seems to have been posted by someone whose writing I'm not familiar with, someone who didn't go to college or wasn't in advanced classes in high school, someone who just quickly wrote this and didn't really care about getting it "right", or someone disguising his/her writing. Don't know what the heck that means...

should the statements made as facts in the post, along with validating the post's contents and assessing its overall merit lie with establishing the identity of the poster?
surely, we are influenced by the reputation and previously stated positions of posters in this (or any) matter; but i'd think the content of the post would be the first consideration to address.

Outside of TOPIX posting, there has been talk of disturbances at the Murray's home. I have no idea when that was taking place, but it seemed likely it was before the divorce. That is why I left that part of the post unquestioned.

how disturbing. if i understand corrrectly, "peri" is an anonymous internet poster from nova scotia (my paternal grandmother's roots), who chooses and encourage others to manipulate the limits of free speech and free thinking by suggesting it is criminal to write a statement of opinion on a forum of opinion.
more disturbing, still, is the intimation that she is associated with and respected as an unnamed, but recognized psychic by police authorities by her contributions to several investigations nationwide.
talk about smelling something foul....
peri, your accusation to the poster of the geocities link is threatening, and if you disagree with the statement made, do so by refuting it in fact. otherwise, you're bullying.

Maura Murray was seen in Quebec City, Quebec Province. She is alive and well. Very well. Her new squeeze is a hunk.
Tourist in Canada East Walpole, MA
Wednesday Apr 8
I saw Maura Murray alive and well in Sherbrooke Quebec, I approached her and said "Hi Maura". She turned toward me and said "Hi" then gasped and looked like she was going to pass out from shock. I have no doubt this was Maura Murray. She is apparently alive and well and living in Canada. When I saw her she was with very handsome young man.]
These 2 posts were posted on the Amherst page. The Geocity page & this poster IMO sound like the same poster.
Which IMO, they are just playing games. First they claim to be a tourist. Like Maura would really confide in a stranger. Then goes on to state, "apparently" alive & well. And seems to stress the fact that her new BF is handsome.
Then in another contradictory statement claim to know that a certain circle of people know this to be true.
Bunch of bullshiz.

Where does it say Maura confided in anyone? All it says is that this person responded to the name Maura.
Where is the link to this?

Has turned into a "sport"
The search for Maura now is more like The Hunt for Red October for some.

I think everyone who posts here -including the guys who claim to be private detectives working on the case (and breaching confidentiality agreements with their client by posting here) have some kind of morbid fascination with the case and nothing more. The most sane posts consistently come from people who admit that they are simply interested in the case.

I have been watching the posts on this forum since about page 650.
The one thing I have observed is that there is no tangible instance of this forum having in any helped in the search for Maura. As such, I don't understand why some people continually get angry at others for not sufficiently respecting the search for Maura. I don't disagree with the idea that some true lunatics post true lunacy here. But beyond this being is a group for people to discuss a topic mutually interesting to them, I am not sure it has a larger purpose. So why don't the people who participate in it just relax, ignore stupid posts and read and think about the ones that interest them. Beyond that, there is no purpose to this forum.
I think everyone who posts here -including the guys who claim to be private detectives working on the case (and breaching confidentiality agreements with their client by posting here, so like, yeah, um, I kinda doubt it) have some kind of morbid fascination with the case and nothing more. The most sane posts consistently come from people who admit that they are simply interested in the case.
I also think it is interesting to note how this forum amounts to a peice of data in support of that theory that people just LOVE to talk, speculate, think and play private investigator about missing people who happen to be pretty young white women.

I have lived in Hanson MA my entire life until 2007. Everyone knows about FM's domestic abuse issues. Maura is communicating with certain people from her childhood. This is the proper link:
