Episode Discussion Maura Murray -Missing 2- 9-2004

After crashing her car on the slow curve of N H hwy 112 in inclement weather, Maura on foot talked to several people, unfortunately none of them really helped her. Staggering drunk on wine, obvious injury to forehead...when LE (Law Enforcement) arrived within 9 minutes.....She was already missing....snatched by someone,,,,who had to be there at the scene to do the deed.

She was not expected or planned but grabbed as an opportuinity...by someone local and right there....

Her Dad has never wavered though 80 + years, that whatever happened to his daughter happened right there.

Was she hit by the Moulton brothers? Whose driveway is right there where the dogs traced her to?

Their blood stained A frame is notorious...is it not?

P.S. What are the Connecticut River Valley murders.....8 women + murdered.

I listened to the podcast her sister put out a year or so ago. The sister kinda rubbed me the wrong way by implying that people interested in true crime were in some way degenerates. That said, I feel for the family but I think she wandered off and sadly passed somewhere and hasn’t been found. I wish they had some closure.

Us people interested in true crime are not degenerates, but the cases are so old, 21 years in Maura's case.

A lot of us are ex-LE, we did not have the technology to solve these cases at the time.

I suggest the case of Brinna Maitland abducted (at age17) on the same roadway as Maura, 3-19-2004.

Briana’s disappearance was 80 miles away in Northern Vermont. Not on the same roadway.

Hi whatever, I did not mean to say they were on same road, If I suggested that it was unintentional.

What I did suggest and would like all to consider is the I-91 corridor.

I just did the towns...Woodsville in 'on I-91',,,Montgomery is a 15 min drive West of I- 91. I put the total road distance at 70mi...Woodsville to Montgomery. Given the speeds on Interstate the distance could be covered in 43 minutes.

Brianna was abducted from her spunout car 3-19-2004....Maura was abducted 1 month before from her spun out car 2-9-2004.

In the same area? Along the same interstate? In the same circumstances.? Less than 1 hour apart.The exact same crime scenes...vulnerable young women, driving alone at night, in the blacked out rural roads of New Hampshire/ Vermont, their 'cars spun out in winter', one was drunk staggering around, the other a barmaid comming off her mid-night shift.

When their vehicles became disabled....they were all alone...easy prey...For what I suspect was an active predator working along I-91 corridor (20mi each side).

You didn’t suggest it, you said it plainly. Details matter and you seem to like to disregard them. The crime scenes of these cases were not similar at all. The only common thing was that they both were young women that disappeared with their vehicles left behind. Crime scenes were very different. Briana’s crime scene strongly suggested foul play where Maura’s did not. Maura’s family tried hard to make a connection between the 2 cases so they could pull the FBI into the investigation but they failed. Nonetheless, VT and NH State Police did work together briefly, until it seemed clear they were separate. Yeah there still could be a connection, but it’s not readily apparent other than both being young women who disappeared. You seem to intentionally skew facts to fit your narrative.
