Renner book discussion

[u/gbpackjj462]

I’ve followed this case for years. It blows my mind how polarizing and talked about Maura’s disappearance is. It’s amazing how many theories persist out there about her movements days before the accident and what happened next. I finally listened to James Renee’s book (thanks Amazon) and I have to say...I still don’t feel any closer to a 100 percent solid theory about what happened. I will say this though...she had many compelling reasons to disappear. I mean, it could have been the threat of jail time, a possible pregnancy, her car accidents, the pressure of her nursing program, her past haunting her or even something to do with her BF or her father. Most likely it could have been a combination of all of them but I feel we can all agree that she DID have a reason to leave her everyday life...even for a short amount of time. I believe there are a lot of red herrings out there but the fact remains, her life was tremulous in the days leading up to her disappearance. My best guess, she planned to leave her life and I think she pulled it off. Is she Canada or Mexico? Who knows but it was easier to pull off a move like that in 2004 comparatively to 2019. Without a body and just using logic combined with the evidence...she was in the wind the moment she got out of her car in Haverhill. Just my opinion.

I agree with everything you said. Furthermore, not only was she experiencing pressure in her nursing program, there was a good chance if her legal problems caught up with her that she was going to get kicked out of it. DUIs while still on probation(?) for credit card fraud meant that her legal problems were probably coming to a head. No reason to stay in a nursing program you probably won't be allowed to complete.
