Her personal computer would be an entirely different matter and almost certainly would need a search warrant.

Judged: 2 2 1 Beagle used to post links to his blog here on Topix. He had his photograph and real name on the blog - since Renner outed him on his own blog, Beagle has removed both from his blog. In the video of the man playing the keyboard, that man looks like Beagle's blog photograph. I personally compared the background in that video with the background in the photograph, and am certain both the photo and video were shot in the same place. There may be other things I found while researching him that prove he is Mr.112Dirtbag, but at the moment I don't recall what they were. I am curious too about his disappearance from cyberspace. He may have just gotten too many people trying to find him and is scared to post any longer on these boards. |

I'm stating that, IMO, the July 12, 2004 request from Fred to UMASS for "all information and data" was a turning point. The data from the computer was extracted within the first week of her disappearance. Copies were made. The physical components to the computer were given to Kathleen, with what remaining available data, if any, to extract I don't know. But you don't know what you can't have until you ask for it. |

Judged: 3 3 2 I will work harder in trying to familiarize myself with this case. I realize that you aren't being rude. I just want you to realize that in my opinion Maura is the only ID disappeared case that I know about who ran away twice. Once from school and didn't tell anyone, and then from the car in NH. They're many questions in my eyes that need to be answered that happened at UMASS. Was MM car really that bad? How come her friends don't recall any new car talk the weekend her father arrived? Wouldn't someone be excited to go car shopping? Why would he bring $4000 cash? Was the "new car" a cover for $4000 cash to be removed from a bank account? If her car was that bad then why would she drive it? And if she did drive it when it was that bad than her reason for fleeing UMASS most have been really important. These are just some of the questions that I would like answered. MM left UMASS and didn't say goodbye to anyone so why did she have to disappear from UMASS? To me right now the bigger mystery is why did she leave UMASS in the first place? |

Judged: 4 4 3 I can't speak to why he left, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is afraid, and I don't blame him for leaving. Seems no matter what he said or posted, there were always people who wanted to twist his words or actions around to point to him as a bad guy -- starting way before the videos. I think it's a shame that people suspected him of any wrongdoing with nothing pointing to him being involved in any way, and that they treated him the way they did for so many years. He's a smart guy who was trying to help find answers, just like many of the posters here over the years. I miss his posts, because he had some interesting theories, but I can completely understand why he might not want to post anymore. Personally, I like him, so I hope he is ok. |
Judged: 4 3 3 "The items have already been gone through once," Scarinza said. When asked whether any of the items, including clothing and books, had been analyzed for forensic evidence in the beginning of the investigation, Scarinza said, "You don't just send a bag of stuff down there." Fred fully cooperated in giving whatever LE wanted back. At this juncture however, he was entitled to whatever information they had garnered based on the FOI Act. Why would LE want stuff back that was already processed forensically? |

Judged: 4 3 3 I agree with you, why did she leave UMASS? |

Judged: 4 4 4 This statement is not likely correct. Also you stated before that Fred won the case initially. That is not correct to my remembrance either. The court stated that the state couldn't just say that nothing was releasable because they said it was related to an active case. The state needed to go over it and determine what might be able to be released. Which they did, and released a small amount of items. Most is still not available, as far as I know. At least that was what I remember. If someone has a different interpretation I'll listen. Bill |

Judged: 3 3 3 That has always been one of the most pressing questions, that might hold the greatest promise to find out what she was doing. It also was one the family did everything they could to obfuscate and mislead on every turn. The issue of the computer may have contained answers that they already knew. Like what her intentions were, where she was going and what she was doing, like lighthouse 101 said. They have never been forthcoming about any of Maura's activities so it wasn't a surprise to find out that information wasn't shared, even though they might have known what was on the computer. Especially if it showed Maura in any other light than Fred and family wanted. Bill |

Judged: 4 4 4 I agree. Remanding it back to superior court wasn't a win. It just forced the state to further explain, which they then did. That's why most of it is still under seal. "Accordingly, because the respondents have not met their burden to justify withholding the requested documents, we remand the matter for a new hearing. On remand, if the respondents continue to resist disclosure, they must make a presentation that will allow the superior court to determine how disclosure of the requested information could interfere with an ongoing investigation or enforcement proceedings." http://www.courts.state.nh.us/supreme/opinion... |
Judged: 2 2 2 I didn't say he won the case, this is what I said below: Eventually this was settled in court, initially in his favor. Initially the burden was on the state, and some documents were eventually released. |

Judged: 5 3 3 I always find it hysterical that when someone who KNOWS something relevant and relays it to the group in a responsible fashion to try to educate. There is always one or two morons who don't write why they disagree, or admit they don't understand. Instead they throw out unlit bulbs and peanuts. What morons. Anyone who would like to challenge Amy's expertise on this subject, try writing a response. I am sure you will do fine against her. Actually, I am thinking that she could probably be in a coma for three days and still out think the peanut throwers here. Bill |

Judged: 4 4 4 I was disputing both statements. I didn't consider that a favorable outcome but if you did, OK. This second statement confuses me a little more. He is still not entitled to anything new unless the State says releasing it won't harm the case. As long as they maintain it can harm the case, it doesn't need to be disclosed. At least that is how I interpret what the court said. Bill |

Judged: 2 2 2 Forget the court case for a second. What about the car? Doesn't it strike you the least bit odd that the vehicle that your daughter was last in, who might have picked up a hitch hiker or has been car jacked may have some clues, you surrender? He gives up the car, but wants more information? He gives up the car, but wants the FBI? I'm starting to think that orginally people knew she was running away, and even new her destination, but once she didn't check in, then people became frantic. |

Judged: 1 1 He also said that why she left or where she was going didn't matter, to just find her. If you didn't know the answer of why she left or where she was going, then I think it would matter. |
Judged: 2 2 2 If LE assured him that they did forensics then what would Fred need the car for?The Car is a bad reminder that he didn't buy her the new car that weekend they went shopping. You want to insinuate that Fred doesn't want information to come out and that goes against everything fred has Fought for. |

Judged: 4 4 4 Haha. Thank you, Bill. I don't think it takes any expertise to read the court decision or the applicable laws. It's all right there in black and white for anyone to read. By the way, as to your point of whether Fred was entitled to info under FOIA, the Assistant AG makes it pretty clear in his letter to Fred Murray of November 12, 2005, that FOIA does not apply to requests made on state agencies, but that under RSA 91-A (NH's "right to know" law) that the materials Fred requested were exempt from disclosure because they are investigatory files. The exception was the logs, which the AG says he is entitled to have except for the parts pertaining to Maura's case (which would be redacted). So basically, he didn't have the right to know anything useful, because it's an open investigation. The letter I'm referring to is on pages 13-14, if you or anyone else would like to read it: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7_atAFvowRhd... This was of course later confirmed by the court decision. Hope this helps. |

Judged: 2 2 1 Exactly. Why would you not want to know where your daughter was going? If your searching for someone knowing point A and point B would be very helpful. |
