- Maura Murray went missing on February 9th 2004 at approximately 7:35pm after having a one car accident on a sharp curve on Rt.112 in Woodsville New Hampshire. This video was shot 7 years later on February 10th 2011. This is the last 3.56 miles of that drive. Somebody knows something, bring Maura home.
Thank you for this video, i would never get the opportunity to see it otherwise.
💯💪🏽
hope you are still out there!
I don't believe she walked down the road as well. I have 2 theories, either she did accept a ride, and that person did her harm, or the bus driver who claimed to have talked to her, and the other guy who claimed he saw her walking on the road is flat out lying.
Well, there is one thing that you definitely know for certain. The timeline and other ignored witness statements do not match what the police and other authorities have stated. Now either all of the other statements and evidence are incorrect or a few major players along with authorities are lying through their eye-teeth.
There are no less than three or four different witness statements that indicate an earlier timeline (among other things) than that alleged by the authorities. All the discrepancies have been written off as either explainable gaps or unreliable witnesses, etc. with no further information as to the length of the investigation into the statements and leads or why they were dismissed and they deemed reliable only the statements closest in time to their story. If any information contradicted the authorities' version, it was dismissed. That behavior speaks volumes in and of itself.
Hi. The first recommendation is to view more videos and research some more. There are the alleged Westmans, Atwood, the Nurse (I think it was a nurse), Store clerk from down the road, Butson's liquor store witness (the alleged names are enough to crank ya) and others including family and friends, etc. Some are moderately corroborated and some are surmised to be highly probable as to veracity. What they have in common, though, is that they betray a possible different story and timeline than that espoused by the authorities.
I don't believe she went into that woods on that dark cold night. I don't believe the stuff about the bus driver. She got into a car.
The bus driver was the second person to call the police. Seems much to audacious a thing to do, even for a seasoned serial killer/psychopath. Then again, I recall the case of Ian Huntley, child killer, who brazenly made it known to media and police that he was the last person to see them alive.
All the trees witnessed her...
Beautiful video and perfect choice for the song. Its very helpful for those of us who are not familiar or from that area and unable to check it out for ourselves. Like others, I've followed the case for quite sometime. I have read and watched everything pertaining to Maura's case. Its definitely hard to come to a conclusion as to what happened to her. I have gone back and forth with 2-3 possibilities. I strongly believe 2 things at this point: I think the answer lies in the immediate area of her accident, meaning one of those residents are responsible. I also believe the police know who it is but have been unable to prove it. This is why they refuse to hand over info to Fred/family and why they have not provided feedback on possible evidence, results etc. They can't do that in fear of jeopardizing whatever case they may have. Obviously it's lacking and after 11 years, I'm sure they are hoping somebody talks or God forbid Mauras body is found. Lastly I believe Maura will be found within 1-3 miles of where her accident occurred. In saying that, my heart goes out to the Murray family and I hope one day the answers are forthcoming.
Now thanks to this video Maura Murray is forever tied to one of my all time favorite bands Sigur Ros. Thank you.
this looks dangerous during the day, much less in the dark. Thanks for sharing
277 Wild Ammonoosuc Rd. for anybody interested. Took the road trip via Google maps and I must say absolutely beautiful country there. Can't help but wonder where she planned on sleeping that night. Almost looks like she was gonna loop back south possibly and just make it a long overnight road trip.
This was the first case I ever watched on Disappeared and it has stuck with me more than any other case. It absolutely breaks my heart every time I watch it. I pray that she somehow is alive, whether she suffered memory loss, or (god forbid) is being held against her will, or SOMETHING that just results in her safe return. I watched the movie "Room" the other day and it made me think of Maura. I bet the dad has already done this since he struck me as a man that is doing everything he can for his little girl, but I would go to every single house around there within a mile or so radius and just question the crap out of them. SOMEBODY has to remember SOMETHING, even if they think in the back of their head it's not a big deal, but it could be what breaks the case
+Patricia Ryan I'm watching it now and he is going door to door just like I sad he should. Good for him! He seems like a great dad
+Patricia Ryan Thank you for your support.

Not a great dad, really.
Someone should do this when it's dark out.I wouldn't want to drive down there by myself in the dark.
3 The gas station was open that night until about 8pm. This would have been another obvious place to go for assistance. The person working that night never saw her. Every time I have been up there, there has never been more than about 30 minutes that a car hasn’t driven by. (On the 7 year anniversary of Maura’s accident) Feb 9th 2010 from 7:30pm to about 8:30pm we had approximately 10 vehicles drive by the area.
did the gas station or any business/home have security cameras on them back then?
@@MotivationMindsetU I don’t think so😂
Maura is this ghostly celebrity it's so strange and bittersweet. I hope in my lifetime we all find out what happened that night on February 4th. Someone MUST know something! #JusticeForMaura
She was just a spoiled brat. Everything says that she wanted to run away. She didnt give a flying SHIT about her family.
Hey cutie
Also, GREAT music choice! Really sets a good tone for the subject matter.
What a long terrifying parenting nightmare with a void lived for seventeen poor parents!
this is heart breaking.
I really wanna find out what happened to her..
For most people it's set in stone that she was drunk driving but honestly seeing this road even in daylight I have doubts if she could have made it this far being drunk at night on that unfamiliar road in the middle of winter.
She was drunk
i believe the bus driver and another resident called the police when they saw the accident----"why would he go to the police" he didnt go to the police, the police came to the accident scene and he was interviewed--its not unusual for a perp to help in an invesitgation---he was the last person to have seen her, or have any contact with her--he should be the #1 suspect...people just dont disappear like that
1 There has been several searches at different times after Maura’s accident by individuals, groups and agencies. I believe that one of the officers and the bus diver drove around the area shortly after they realized Maura was not with her car. However response in the immediate days following her disappearance seems to have been poor, Fred was one of the first people to arrive expecting to join the search team to help locate Maura to find he was the search team.
2 If you look at the area there are several homes within a very short distance from where Maura’s car was. Any of which she could have easily walked to for assistance. Also exactly one mile west of the accident site was a gas station that was open. If Maura had been driving from that direction it would have been dark and easily spotted.
I accidently removed a question from another poster. I believe the question was: Was there ever a massive search done for Maura.
Math! If you are going 30mph you cover .5 miles every 1 minute. The video is about 7 minutes long. 7 minutes x .5 miles = 3.5 miles. The video is played back real time. the distance was measured using sat images and from the odometer in the vehicle.
@JCMySoulsBoast When we made this video last winter we thought the same thing. There are so many places she could have gotten help from. Also while out there at the same time of night as her accident we had 10 to 15 cars pass us. We speculated that it would be very possible for someone to have offered a ride.
was this recorded at the same time as Maura's crash? That's the only thing no one has shown.... whas it dark or still fairly light when she crashed? I'm not from that area so I don't know what mid-winter 8'ish looks like.
I am not here to convince you what the temperatures were that night. I would just caution you in believing everything written about Maura’s story. (Including that you read somewhere it was 11 degrees) I found that most of the reporting on the conditions of that night has been wrong. Don’t rely on second hand information including mine. I base my decision on historical weather data from the area that is corroborated by local people that remember the weather on that night.
2 I have also been told by local residents that many of them searched independently in the days and weeks following the accident. I know several days had pasted before police organized any official search. To date I don’t believe there is a good historical record of which group searched which area.
Know the area well. There is still alot of yes, no, maybe so but no one seems to really know what happened. When people pass by on the road and see a disabled vehicle they stop and help, 99% of the time. Had a case here a while back where a man from Ma. disappeared on a desolate road on the outskirts of town, he eventually turned up in Ca. People behave sometimes in mysterious ways. Won't go into worst case scenarios here. DON'T LEAVE YOUR CAR IF YOU GO OFF OF THE ROAD IF POSSIBLE.
Butch Atwood knows more than he's saying and Cecil killing himself was very odd.
One day.
Just one day…
🔹
Someone abducted her when she got out and started walking that lives right around there.
How do you go missing for 15 years after a single simple car crash?...Logically it's so impossible!
Going on 17 years now.
Doesn't make any sense unless someone ran her off the road, road rage. I've traveled that stretch many times and so many times have been followed too closely.
Why has no1 here mentioned Mauras credit card fraud. She was on probation when she was missing. Her probation was nearly up but because of the 2 crashes maybe they would have affected it. She may also have been involved in a hit and run a few days before going missing. Her father says he does not know why she took this route...maybe she took this route because she was drinking and thought it would be better to stay off the main road. I dont think the bus driver did anything wrong.
its not arrogance, i speak from having lived in NH, and my comment was "highly unlikley but not impossible"--the sources of the "36 degree night" were the recollections of the neighbors, 1 year after the disappearance-----sorry but a "neighbors recollection" doesnt cut it with me---i need a more credible source than that
I would have to watch the episodes all over again to fully understand this case. (So many films/ documentaries/etc).
However, my gut instinct is telling me something happened at that A Frame House.
Many people defend the bus driver.
I’m torn between him knowing more or having more involvement & him being innocent.
I understand that he was a bus driver & should be trusted, but, one never fully knows a person inside.
If it were me & I saw someone needing help - I would still stay around & keep watch over them from a distance- stranger or not, I would still do my best to make sure they were ok.
Being a stranger, yes, I can understand them turning down help. Which is why, if it were me, I still would have stayed in my bus & made sure the person was safe & ok.
Yes I would have done the same thing, I always wondered why he didn't considering the road and the weather?
He had to go home to call the police. Also his home is close by.
Search on RUclips: Investigation Scene tied to Maura Murray disappearance. The house where the cadaver dogs picked up the scent is the house on the left right before where the blue ribbon is.
i agree! Evidence points to her not coping with bad decisions & stress!
Wasn’t she driving from mass to Haverhill? I’m confused..... wouldn’t she be traveling the other direction? I just happen to know the area and am curious if I missed something? Did she already reach her destination and was heading home?
Some condo in Barlett, not far to the east, was suggested in the episode.
whats the name of this song man this case is so intriguing! i cant help but feel shes in the vicinity within 6 mile radius. has anyone heard of the book " true crime addict" its about this case
Why don't they have street lights in these kind of roads in US? I'm from India and these kind of difficult and "lonely" roads are usually given priority for street lighting here..
so the police would not find it in her car...but why leave the wine.... maybe she was near to where she was staying or meeting some1 where she crashed. People these days have many reasons to want to disappear.... some say if she didnt pass her probation she would be kicked out of college and then there is the hit and run... There are alot more question here that need to be answered.. I tink her family and friends can shed more light here in this story... i dont mean in a sinister way...
sad , this case has stuck with me for a while now , they need too search the woods better , where she had the accident going 10 miles out , especially the side where the car was ........shes in those woods ......hides from the cops , gets lost....maybe gets injured , we know she has been drinking , elements get too her .......no she wasnt abducted ffs , a killer just happened too be driving by at that moment or a serial killer , jesus get a grip people
The law enforcement agencies in this area really let the family down. I believe more resources are called for in this case and the cops were very reluctant, not sure why. I mean as a tax payer, this is where I’d like to see the funds used, not for more guns and swat teams
At a very minimum, they wasted valuable investigation time early in the case and evidence was lost or never processed. What they did and didn’t do with the car and its contents is inexcusable.
My god, this video is so sad...to end up at that blue ribbon tied around the tree and to know what it means. February @7:35 PM, it must've been pitch black out there on that country road. How terrifying. I so hope that she's still alive. But if not, I just pray that she didn't suffer.
They will get answers, just got to believe.
She isn't alive. Come on.
i went out for her 15th anniversary and you're correct. it is absolutely pitch black. idk how anyone could have seen anything.
@@danieltice3428 no wonder she hitched a ride. I would to if I was stuck on that freezing road in the dark.
the whole thing creeps me the fuck out.
Me too! There are to many unanswered questions and answers!
eileen gunzburg
the case is still open. hell, everything is still open.
I honestly don't think that she got succumbed by the nature or got into "the wrong car".
There was also one guy, driving down a road, he saw a girl running with the same clothes as she was wearing that day on a road and when he nearly passed her, she ran into the woods.
but there's also the theory that a companion was behind her and picked her up right after the crash.
neither, the whole thing is creepy as fuck.
I agree with you 100% I think friend or father. IMO! toatally creepy as fuck! just strange.
eileen gunzburg many people think that he has to do something with that case, but he's just a fucking creep that enjoys the attention he get.
eileen gunzburg Please understand that friends and family follow these threads too. It is not possible that her father was involved in her disappearance and it is always upsetting for people to imply this as a theory.
Not very many cars and this is during daylight hours.
6:29 No cars passing. What a scary road to be driving on...
They need to search deep into the woods.
They did, but found nothing
@@ankitnarayan31 Well search again.
I just watched this & did Google Earth. This is 1 Road you'd have to know at night. There's so many tight corners, minimum road, back roads & pitch black with a bad car. No way!!
I got chills up my spine as soon as you went around the corner/this was beautifully done/respectfully done
Is it possible that Maura got a ride with another car after the accident and then got murdered or is held captive somewhere?
Yes it is. That's one of the prevailing theories.
If only there were surveillance cameras on that road, of what she was doing...that night and time. Then we would have answers in no time!
This is what I think happened. I think she would have been desperate to catch a ride especially in the cold and would have gotten in the car with someone she normally wouldn't have. I just think if she committed suicide or succumbed to the elements we would have seen something. She would have dropped something, I think it's most likely she was taken to another location and that could be anywhere.
I don't know why she would think that this was a good idea? Not with a poor running car. Wrong place & the wrong time is my thoughts. I can't stress enough to young women to be careful & watch your back always. Unfortunately too many freaks roam around. Get a gun ladies & protect yourself.
Getting a gun just means there's a higher chance someone will shoot you with it or you'll shoot yourself. Taking basic safety precautions is best. I agree, not a safe road to drive at night with a bad car in the winter.
Maybe Maura wasn't the one driving the car.
I know this area very well. It's not far from me. She was definitely heading for the White Mountains. I-91 is very near to her college and getting on that then going north into upstate Vermont and getting off at exit 17 would have taken her directly to route 112 in Woodsville NH which then leads you directly to the White Mountain area in Lincoln. She had that destination in mind for sure.
In addition to shooting this video in February of 2011 and because we also had a want to know what happen we considered some of these theories that many of you talk about in the other comments. We also thought Maura may have hiked down the road in an effort to get cell signal or to look for a house that seemed more inviting than going to the bus drivers home. We also suspected that she may have hidden in the woods in an effort to avoid the police that would have been responding because she may had been drinking. So while there we retraced her steps as if she had kept going to Bartlett (East on Rt112) We immediately found out a few things. There was more than enough ambient light (Even though the moon was not up) to find your way down the road. We suspected that she was not prepared for the cold weather based on the fact she took such few things when leaving the car. She didn’t take her gloves and from what we understand was not probably not heavily dressed. She also left most of her things in the car as if she was planning to return shortly. The night she went missing it was 36 degrees. The night we were there it was 15 degrees. It struck us as odd that she would go far at all, being there was so many homes around the area near her car. In fact I thought it was lucky given the area that 3 different homes reporting seeing her at the car after the accident. We also think she may have been wearing sneakers as I was on the night I was there. The first thing I thought of was why in the world would I want to leave this paved road and trudge through the snow in sneakers, it just didn’t make since. Also even though I feel its possible footprints could have been missed it seems that none where ever found. After being there I think the most likely thing that happened is she accepted a ride from somebody not far from her car.
+david stiles Not if ill-intended.
fuck me. why he have to do that kill an innocent she was trying to live and that some of bitch kill her #JusticeForMaura
.....very nice video, that song is so appropriate, good choice! That turn is quite dangerous, I can easily see someone losing control and spin out of control.
Regarding Maura, my take is that she was pregnant (she did do some research online about alcohol effect on a fetus) and was going to get an abortion. That decision/situation was probably related to why she freaked out at work 3 days before disappearing. Something went down, the sperm donor, who wouldn't have been the boy friend, may have threatened her or at least put a lot of pressure on her to get this abortion for fear of a scandal. Maura would have called her dad for help, he then scrambles big time to get the 4,000$, and then goes to umass to see her daughter. They meet on Saturday and he leaves on Sunday. Next day Maura leaves, just like it was planned. In my mind, her dad knows a whole lot more than he's saying.
There was no looking for a car, she never mentions it to anyone, no record of it anywhere and her dad never mentions what he did with the money. Plus Maura didnt have a lot of money left in her account, if any, after withdrawing 260$ on the day of her disappearance and spending 40$ on booze before hitting the road. Common sense will tell you that you can't go very far and for very long on a couple of hundred bucks. After gas and maybe some lunch, she would have been almost broke come destination. This confirms she was getting help from someone. Remember the 4,000$ would have already been committed.
Unfortunately, she gets into an accident, she grabs her back pack containing the money and hits the ground running in order to avoid the police for fear of DUI. She's a runner, top shape and in fact, somebody (Rick Forcier) spots a girl with a back pack running along that very same highway 5 miles from the scene of the accident. Her intention was not to run all the way to where she was going, all she wants to do in the short term, is to get as far away from the accident scene and as quickly as possible before the police gets there. The police came in from the west, she ran towards the east.
She hitched a ride and she either met with fowl play right there and then or she made it to destination where things got complicated or it seems. She hadn't booked a room, she had just scoured the area online for condos etc...., therefore that means somebody else did that fir her and may have agreed to meet there, possibly the sperm donor. Maura wouldn't have left umass without some type of reservation if she was acting alone, it doesn't make sense, it's in the middle of winter and you need a place to stay before departing. Therefore, the places she looked up online should have checked. A list of guests at those establishments on that day and next, could have shed a lot of light on her disappearance. I don't know if this check was ever gone. Nobody just gets up and leaves for a week, with very little money like Maura did solely because she is upset; she's a bright girl, she left with a clear purpose and an important one at that and someone at the point of destination was waiting.
The point of destination should have been focused on more in my view. It's likely that something may have happened there as much as something may have happened in and around the scene of the accident.
Hope you enjoyed reading my take on this disappearance.

Hope you enjoyed reading my take on this disappearance.
+fernand robichaud Hey. Thought I would reply to you on here cause its the vid you told me to watch. Yes, I do believe Maura may have been pregnant and this is the reason she left town. Thats what i had come to. At first I thought she was involved in a hit and run that happened near her campus, a man named petrit, but there is no evidence it was her etc. We know she left town for something, its figuring out what happened to her on the way. I do believe slightly that maura did meet with foul play but apart of me still believes she ran because she had been drinking and the recent string of bad luck and decisions caused a bit of a breakdown, then just went too far and succumbed to the elements. But where did she think she was going? She knew it was cold. Would you run in the snow, in February? Although maybe something happened that caused her to run. There are witnesses to this crash. The husband and wife who called the cops, said there was a girl in a car outside across the road. Also the woman said it looks as though there may be a man smoking a cigarette but it could be a cell phone light or something. Also Butch Atwood, the local bus driver who stopped and asked maura if she needed help. She told him no, she phoned someone but he lived a couple houses down and decided to call the cops anyway of course. Also another neighbour was witnessing this from their window. So we have all these people watching and reporting to cops and suddenly whoosh, shes gone. One minute they are saying shes in the car, couple mins later shes gone. People turned their backs for a second. Its all very bizarre and I highly suggest you watch the Missing Maura Murray podcast. Its long and lots of episodes and you definitely get sucked down a rabbit hole. You would love it. But I most definitely agree with your theories on why she left town. And it is obvious the family knows why she left town but I truly believe it has nothing to do with her actual disappearance. If her family thought it did, maybe we would all know but its none of our business really and maybe they wanted to keep some privacy and dignity in her life missing or not. With that being said I would absolutely love to know why she did leave town so abruptly, as thats what adds so much mystery to this. Oh yes and the $4000! She was on some sort of mission thats for sure! Anyway, hope you get this:)
From what I read.....it sounds like she was in a depressed mind state. But I dont believe she was suicidal. I think she wanted to get away and clear her mind. I think after she had accident someone kidnapped her while she was walking along the road.
Having watched this case on dissapeared, my gut feeling is this beautiful,energetic girl who had a tremendous love for life, who had fantastic support from her family and friends had everything to live for was simply in the wrong place wrong time and an abduction took place.I hope the family find closure especially her father who seems an extraordinary human being.
Omg imagine if someone has her hostage all these years 😳😳😳
I saw couple of gas pumps on a left side of the Rd 112 @4:34 just ONE mile from the accident site. If Maura's Saturn had full tank is it possible she pumped gas there, just one mile before crashing? She would have definitely known that place if she wanted to walk/run somewhere. Did she get a lift there?
It's called Swiftwater Way Station, 533 Wild Ammonoosuc Rd.
after reading more on this case------was the rusty stained knife that was allegedly given to mauras father, ever followed up on? or how about the A framed house where the cadaver dogs went bonkers? why is there no other info on these what seem to be key elements in this case?
this case really give me the creeps. imagining her all alone on that road at night. it's so sad. you wouldn't think something bad could happen in such a beautiful place
8 years late but I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be to be out in 30 degree weather a car that won’t start and at night with not much around you except woods and a few houses.
wow, they weren't kidding when they said there's very little civilization on that route. would have hated to have been broke down there at night, especially after an accident, like Maura was. thanks for this well done video. very emotional.
Maura had gotten into two accidents in basically 3 days. One on Saturday night/Sunday morning and the second on Monday (Feb. 9th 2004) when she disappeared. (In both of these accidents air bags deployed) I have heard about the theory that she was involved in a hit in run concerning another student at U-Mass. From what I have learned about this theory it seems totally unlikely that she could have had anything to do with it.
the track being lost in the middle of the road goes with my theory that she accepted a ride & that person killed her or she died due to alcohol related causes and the person panicked and disposed of her body
She was killed
heartbreaking.
Within the 10-minute period from when the bus driver saw her and police were called and arrived at the scene she was able to flee the scene. Obviously, she was picked up by a passerby and whisked away.
Hi. I've just seen this case on Discovery ID. My interest is increasingly growing in this case and I feel really sorry for the family and the friends of the girl. I would seriously work on this case and do the very best of my capabilities, but unfortunately I'm not even in United States. Nonetheless, I pray for the safe arrival of Maura and all my hopes are with the family and friends.
Keep the hope alive.
Omar, 17, from Egypt.
I believe she’s still out there to be found in the large expanse of the wilderness, they searched but they could never search every inch it’s way to big out there, then you got land that’s private and land owners that would not let people on the land. Hope the family find her to bring her home.
knowing there were plenty of homes around what id like to know is if you hear a car crashing into the woods wouldnt a neighbor hear the sound of the impact and check out to see what happend? not to mention if it was cold outside instead of her leaving her stuff why didnt she just go to someones house and ask for help?
Ya that's the point maybe she did and she met her maker there
How do you know she didn’t?
being close to Mauras age at the time of her disappearance & having turned to alcohol to relieve stress, and regretted it I can totally relate to her. I think she was super stressed at school, had made some mistakes that she was feeling the pressure of, and just wanted to get away. She got her booze & headed out..didn't care or want to be bothered by others. She started drinking wine while driving, drank too much and wrecked. Instead of getting a DUI I think she started walking and got a ride...
Just think on February 8th 2004 this was just another road in new Hampshire. Now it’s infamous.
The odds of a psycho killer being there at exactly the right moment within that small window of 10 minutes is extremely hard to believe. After the disappearance, cadaver dogs used the scent from her gloves that were left locked in her car to search the nearby area. The gloves scent led the dogs about 100 yards up the road and then abruptly ended.
So many love her, look for her, wonder where she went. This precious angel was taken by someone. Someone will figure it out. Still looking...
if she was going to bartlett like her dad says,she had a good hour or more drive from the begininng of rt 112, which is were the video starts----to Bartlett NH..keep in mind this was at night, in 11 degrees on incredibly remotre roads...she really must have been quite fearless
She was a beautiful girl R.I.P MAURA❤️
I wish someone could get footage like this but around the time she crashed. Could give us more perspective on what she could have seen at night
the fact that this case has seemed to stall after the appeals hearing,and knowing Nancy Smiths comments about the "identified individual whos disappearance is being investigated" and knowing about the for sale sign on the front lawn, and knowing the bus driver is somewhere in florida...i dont know, but it stinks to me....too many coincedences
May 23, 2020 and she is still missing. There is now a no trespassing sign under that blue ribbon.
With all due respect of this video, but can someone tell me the name of the song, it's just too perfect.
It's called Untitled 4 ('Njósnavélin') by Sigur Ros. The whole album is great.
Crypticc Thanks! I might listen the album, really aprecciate it.
That song was in Vanilla Sky, very haunting in the scene and in this vid. Always gives me goosebumps
Did you watch 127 hours? It's the same band that made the song played at the end of the movie.
aljaca98 It borrows heavily from New Order's 'Ceremony' for me.
This really took me there.... beautifully made 💙
There have been several private investigators that have looked into Maura’s case as well as various New Hampshire State agencies. To this point none of these people/origination have made it public whether or not there has been any activity concerning her SS#, credit cards or cell account. However I don’t believe there has been any activity.
If you were to drive from U-Mass to Bartlett, rt. 112 would not be an unusual way to go. It is about an hour from 91 through Woodsville then Lincoln and over to Bartlett. Because I have looked a lot into the exposure theory I believe most of the media reports have been wrong about the weather. I believe it was 36 degrees at the time of her accident.
I find it disheartening that not a single said nosy neighbor bothered to step outside and ask this young accident victim if she was okay and/or would like to come inside and call AAA/paramedics/a family member, esp. considering the severity of the accident/condition of the vehicle/her confused state of mind/the twilight hour/cold weather, etc. Seems everyone just hid behind their curtains watching the show thru their reality tv windowpanes till the excitement wore off and Maura wasn't there anymore. I live in a hard hood, and even so, we step outside when an accident occurs nearby, call 911, and do what we can to assist, if possible. Backing it up, whatever motivations led her to that point in time, in or out of her right mind, I've a feeling this girl came to a bad end not of her own doing.
+TheSWolfe Besides the bus-driving gentleman, that is, and even he delegated contacting emergency svcs to his wife & then went on w/his evening business while Ms. Murray remained in the street alongside her wrecked vehicle. Then again, at least he did that much.
+TheSWolfe Maura told the bus driver she called AAA already as she didn't want the authorities called because she was drinking. The police dogs lose her scent 100 feet from the scene which most probably indicate she was picked up and given a ride.... I personally think it was a local that abducted her. Sure she had problems in her life but if she did commit suicide surely her bones would have shown up somewhere in the woods by now.
I feel that area is really creepy, and watching this gives me a bad feeling. I know places like this...rural and isolated, and the people who want to live out here are just weird or suspicious and plain creepy! These backwoods are no place for normal well adjusted folks to live, less travel on these roads. Plus, no-one called to help, nor see if she was ok, it is just normal for these rural residents to not want to be involved. Believe me, they have plenty that they are hiding. Girls alone, or mom's with children need to seer clear of this rural nightmare...
@@TheSWolfe No disrespect, but, he was the only person that saw her an had a conversation with her. If you want to believe his story. She disappears an only one person inter whole time saw her an spoke with her.
@@zemzem8323 I don't know if any woman want to drive that far to commit suicide. But, wait, before I do it, let me get my 280.my vodka, khalua, Bailey's, wine. Stick a rag in my tail pipe. An drive 2an half hours listening to my music an bring my books so I can do my college studies. Good Lord. I low it's snow on the side of the road. But, I am a good driver. What the hell.I will be back to school in a few days. So one offered her a ride. Yes, because I am not willing to freeze to death. The rest is history.
she may have accepted a ride, and that ride may have been from the bus driver who IMO, knows more than hes stating---his story doesnt jive with me---i think she may have gotten on his bus, not a passing motorists--- which would explain possibly why her scent was lost mid road practically in front of the bus drivers house. of course its possible she may have accepted a ride from a passing motorist, but thats a stretch considering where she was, and not knowing where a morotist would take her
Sorry but personally I dont believe in foul play. Could she took a ride? Sure, but foul play seems too big of a coincidence in this case. She is walking at night in the middle of nowhere in a place rarely with civilization, and at this hour there are a few cars passin by, and out of these little possibilities she got into the car of a murderer? Seems too big of a coincidence to me. If she DID accept a ride, foul play is unlikely, but then again, why shouldnt the driver come forward with that crucial information?
I still believe in the "frozen to death in the woods"-theory. She was drunk, it wasnt the first time that she had an accident, in fact it was the second time. She not only feared the police, but also the serious discussions she would have with her father. In a state mixed with trepidation, anxiety and desparation, she ran away, and froze to death somewhere in the forest nearby. The fact that no remains or clothes could be found doesnt mean that she died in the forest.
Maura is speaking to us through her actions but we're too busy projecting our own theories to listen. She has an emotional breakdown at work on February 5th. She packs up her belongings in boxes and leaves them stacked on her dorm bed. Her boyfriend has recently admitted he's cheated on her, and she leaves a printout of his emailed confession on top of the boxes. On the night she disappears Maura is drinking and driving, repeating the same behavior that caused her to crash her father's new car just a day before. She has already been told by a judge to stay out of trouble for six months or face prosecution for credit card theft. Therefore Maura's drinking and driving on the night of February 9, 2004 tells us:
A) She's just trying to clear her head.
B) She's obviously making a fresh start.
C) She's in a self-destructive frame of mind.
It doesn't matter WHY she got there it matters WHY she was never seen again after that accident site. Someone possibly even herself it seems took advantage of her fragile state of mind and dire circumstances. If it was not a suicide..someone knows something. We try to believe eventually light will be shed on such a dark set of circumstances.. #JusticeForMaura
@@natybats7089 Yes we do hope light will be shed ! I pray we find out what happened to her ! I lived Just across the border in Vermont at the time I heard of Maura, but I was laid up with a broken leg, I wanted to go help look for her!! I was especially interested , because almost 55 years ago, my aunt disapeared in almost the same exact circumstances, just vanished without a trace!! Everyone family and her friends believed foul play must have happened as I did at times!! But something in my gut told me, she wanted a new start, away from everyone that knew her? I never stopped looking for her, I searched every jane doe that wasn't identified etc.. I never gave up hope that until, they found a body,, that she still could be alive somewhere?? I hear a lot of thoughts on Maura,, but not much that she still could be alive? Well let me tell you she could be!!! After all these years I found my Aunt she had been living in North Dakota, and recently died in Feb. 2016 She disappeared in 1964.. Never a trace of her until this week. She disappeared when she was in her 30's she just died at the age of 86.. she had a wonderful life after she disappeared I hear from her friends in ND. They never knew she was missing.. When she disapeared all of her things where found in her apt. including glasses she couldn't see without, her purse.. her car was found beside the road, nothing, not a trace. Her parents my grand parents died without ever knowing what happened to her! I wish I had looked harder and believed more that she was still alive.? Maybe I could have found her before she died.? Plz excuse the spelling and grammer but I just found her this week, and still really upsetting!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Tina-fu8si Sometimes this is the only way women escape domestic violence, to just start again somewhere else. I am glad you found her and found peace... Delia Morris
you should talk to our Polish, the most famous clairvoyant Krzysztof Jackowski. He is very known from his impressive results of seeking lost persons. Even Romina Power was his client when she could not find her daughter..
Just curious, is there any information on how much fuel was still in the gas tank of her car? Or where she last filled up?
I hope someday the family can find peace and know what really happened......not knowing is horrible.......I pray for Maura and her family.
Beautiful song. So sad.
I've read there were police dogs to help to find Maura too, but their scent drew a blank. But were there any evidences there was another car, besides Maura's driven one and his car who wanted to help? This happened so long time ago but I wish this will be determined!

My God what happened to that poor girl?????
I think its very possible that you could be correct in your thoughts about the accident. I investigated the cracks in the windshield, Two accident scene investigators that I spoke with believe the cracks where made from the airbag. I believe one of the only ways she could have succumbed to the elements would have been if she had been injured in the crash.
My heart breaks for Fred and the whole family..Never knowing has to be torture..Just to get answers would help them so much...I pray they get some kind of closure, one day.
Exactly 8 years ago right now Maura left her car and was never seen again. Exactly 1 year ago today a friend and I retraced Maura’s last know steps at exactly this time. I know that like I many of you out there wish for answers as to what happened to Maura. Please share Maura’s story and this video with your friends and family. One day we all hope to have the answers. My thoughts go out to Maura and her family.
Maura is presumably where she chose to be 20 years ago
Last night I saw a dream that Maura was found. Kind of shivery to see that kind of dream. But still, we must hope this will happen that Maura will be found after this long time anyway!
Just some other facts: It has never been proven that Maura made the phone call 2 days after her disappearance to her boyfriend. You can walk the road in the middle of the night. In the police accident report the road conditions are marked as “Dry”. I spoke with a local person that remembers that night clearly and says that when they checked the temperature at about 8pm it was 36 degrees and clear.
1. We now know that she did not make that phone call. Someone from the Red Cross did.
2. It was 29° at 8:pm according to wunderground.
3 I participated in a search for an autistic boy in Virginia that had been missing for 6 days. By the end of the search there were over 1500 people a day searching and over 10,000 total people, in a grid that was less than 2 square miles. To everybody surprise the boy was found ok only a half mile from where he had originally gone missing. So in my opinion, No there was never a massive search for Maura executed.
You should drive down there when its dark.
Just watched the CBS report on this tragic case and came across this video too. Very sad report. I find it incredible that there were so many properties close by, that she never managed to get to. Also why didn't the driver offer to give her a ride instead of just offering to make a call? if she refused a ride with the bus driver (someone you would potentially think was safe) it makes me question why she would accept a ride from a complete stranger in a car?
If you think this case is erie google Nicole Morin dissapearance.
Or also actually Brianna Maitland as well
@joannajean The music is Sigur Ros. I belive it's the "Nothing Song" There is also a link to the song right under the video.
I want to believe she's alive and well, somewhere in Canada, leading a new life. I want to believe that. But I'm finding it so hard to believe this wonderful, sweet girl would have let her family suffer like this. I never met Maura, but all who knew her paint a picture of a caring, compassionate person. If she were elsewhere, I still believe she would have contacted her family and ended their sufferings. Unless she is being prevented from it, in which case leaving this road was not her choice.
Why do you keep harping on the fact that it was 11 degrees and keep saying that it could not possibly have been warmer at night in NH. The reported temp at Whitefield, NH (closest WX station and further NORTH) was 36F on the nose at 6:50 pm. It had been cold, well below 0F, the morning of 9 Feb and warmed up significantly through the day as a high built in from the west. Weather data does not lie and is readily available. I'm a meteorologist and if you want more detail, reply to this comment.
So sad about Maura!!! But this video its beautiful. I hope her family find peace some day!
Well thank you... i was not aware of that. Now I have doubts... but it still doesn't add up. How soon was if after she went missing do u know? Such a strange case... very disturbing!
