I've been reading some old info online,came across the stuff pasted below&find it eerily like the "nose to nose with cruiser" scenerio that a passerby to mauras accident reported&the unusual damage to her car.
"police car and another vehicle, "bumper to ass, guess would be the best way to put it."
The pair spotted the two cars on Route 116. "It's not like a normal stop, where you see a car pulled over and a cruiser behind it kicked off a little," ***** says. He says ***** police SUV was "pushing the guy up against the bulldozer, uh you know, with his car."
"***** is asked to draw a map of what he saw. He said he was curious about the position of the cars, and how the police cruiser had ****** car pushed up against a bulldozer so it couldn't move"

<quoted text>You should probably have stated that the text you quoted is from Greg Floyd Sr.'s police interview in the Liko Kenney/Bruce McKay murders and has nothing to do with the Maura Murray case.

Can you tell me what is so odd about the cruiser being nose to nose with Mauara's car? I could never understand that.
Coming around that sharp curve the cruiser would have been heading toward the front end of Maura's car.
Unless he went up the road and turned around to place himself behind her car it makes sense that he pulled up facing her(nose to nose) to protect her car and any passerby from running into her car.He did the smartest thing IMO.

As I recall the report by the contractor RF seeing Maura was initially considered suspect by LE, however after it was investigated there were a couple things that made it appear very likely that the person he saw may have been Maura.
No one knows for sure, but my understanding was that it was more likely than not that he saw Maura that night.
That is all I can really offer on the subject of the sighting.

I have read alot in the last few weeks about this case. I would say however that I possess minimal knowledge.In keeping with my previous post about keeping it simple,and working with next to no knowledge,I'm constantly drawn back to fact that Maura was seeing two men. Engaged to one of them. This is such a classic situation that has ended violently thousands of times through out history. Am I correct in assuming that this has been thoroughly examined early on in this thread and I just can't find the pages?

<quoted text>The track coach said that when Billy wanted to get together(fall of 2003), that Maura dropped him fast and without notice, wouldn't call or answer his calls. Her friends said that ultimately Maura loved Billy and was willing to move to Oklahoma. Yet Kathleen said there was trouble building in the relationship again, and that Maura probably wanted to get away to the white mountains to think about things. If the police even knew about the coach, I'm sure they checked him out. The FBI went to UMASS and Hanson. Maybe one of her friends who wanted her to see the coach instead of Billy fessed up to it, and gave his name?
I don't think anyone has really examined the coach on this thread, but then I may have missed it.

Thanks just me. I guess my question would be; How long before she disappeared did she end things with her coach? Also, was she still actively on the track team. I have looked for these answers on this thread, but, have been unable to find anything . They may be here and I just missed them.

New Renner post & docs up... Quote:
"At the time Maura went missing, she was on probation for this. If she had stayed out of trouble for three months, this conviction would have been erased. The accident the weekend before she went missing may have caused this charge to stay on her record, essentially ending her nursing prospects."

Very interesting incident reports re: credit card fraud. It was a misdemeanor...although not ideal, hardly something one would flee over.
I hate to mention Occam's but.....
Doesn't it seem logical that, given the high probability that Maura was facing a DUI that fateful night, knowing that would necessarily preclude the court from dismissing these charges - Maura ran off to avoid the repercussions of the DUI/accident...and ran (somewhere) into the woods...where she (tragically, IMO) perished?
I simply fail to grasp why this latest revelation (and it isn't much of a revelation at that, just offers the intricacies of the investigation) doesn't, in fact, support the theory I listed above. How does this tie into any type of a run-away scenario? C'mon. Who runs away to avoid a MISDEMEANOR? Sure, while drunk, she may have ran away in the IMMEDIATE to avoid the police - but really, to think that she is living it up in Canada, all to avoid the fallout from some two-bit theft charge, is illogical. Then again....
Illogical = wickedly popular on Topix.

According to UMass Nursing School guidelines (available online, google it), it would be enough to get kicked out of nursing school/never being able to become a RN.

She admitted to having used the CC approx. 6 times, according to the police report. Not a one time incident.
Her departure from Amherst and disappearance in NH took place exactly 3 months to the date from her police interview regarding the CC fraud.

A conviction, yes. But the charges were going to be dismissed (pending no further arrests). She could then have her arrest record sealed and it would not be eligible to hold against her. It would be as if it never happened.
Although I agree it COULD have potentially gotten her kicked out of nursing school - the school could not, and would not, take action until the case had a resolution (conviction, dismissal, etc.) She would not have been convicted of this misdemeanor UNLESS she was facing another arrest...which I admit that the DUI @ the accident scene (potentially) could have been. That being said, I think, as Bill said - this was the straw that broke the camel's back. It wasn't about nursing school, or about her family, or about her self-esteem, or the drinking problem, or the guy problems - it was the sum of all these issues that drove her off into the woods that night.
I think to suggest that this makes a case for runaway (not assigning that view to you, Hannah, just jumping off your post)- is to ignore the facts. If anything, this solidifies the likelihood that she WAS, perhaps, suicidal - at worst. And at best? She was deeply wounded at this point in her life. And all these things came together at precisely the wrong time.
