Indeed, speculations of this sort have occurred a number of times. Did Maura stop for gas, and was she followed? Did someone take her and stage the accident? Was she in a prior accident on the same road, take off, then get into another accident further down the road? Did someone intentionally wreck her, take her, then plant the car further down the road? Was her car delivered to the WB by a truck? Was she ever in NH? Was she abducted by aliens? used in experiments for vitamin research? Taken or killed by friend, family member, local, professor? Possibly intentional possibly not? Did things in her personal life lead to her disappearance? From when and where did she check her voicemail? Is it possible that she didn't take the path that everyone thought? Is there really a video of her in a liquor store (no one ever saw it)? The entire trail from one point to the next has been looked over. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people on this forum know or have a good idea of what happened to her. It's difficult to say exactly who that would be, but the rest of the people are just left to form their own theories, and unless LE actually solves this case, they will all remain theories and there never will be a consensus. Mason probably did the most thorough analysis, but most of the people discredited him because they believe that he put up a pretense of objectivity when in fact he had an agenda the entire time. I think the people on here are still divided on that matter, but bringing all that up again will probably result in the forum being shut down anyway.

Bill,
Do you or anybody else here know whether the Stage Stop Store on Rte 112 in Swiftwater village possibly had gas pumps available back in 2004?
If so, Maura could theoretically have filled her car up there.
On the other hand, even so, it´s pretty likely that such a transaction would have been noted and remembered by the person/s in the store at the time.

You obviously had some real buttheads on here in the past, who did not give a shit one way or the other whether this is ever solved, and just chimed in for the sole purpose to humor themselves. If have been repetitive I apologize but I didn't have time to read what remains of the posts on here or know of anyone else considering the gas station theory. But you'd think the police having doing their job properly at the time of the initial investigation may have checked considering her gas tank was indeed full. This in itself would lead one to believe that car was filled up by someone in the immediate area.

My sons say no they did not and even if they did they close early, like around 6pm.

<quoted text><quoted text>If the car had to be towed back to Amherst and sat there for most of the time unused, then my guess is there were about 10 gallons in the car. If you can get 30 mpg, she could drive 300 miles before filling up. I would think that in addition to getting her money and goods, she'd fill the car up before she took off. Especially if my idea of what was in the car for gas was even less than 10 gallons. Let's say she had less, and filled up before leaving. Why would she feel the need to get gas once she made it to the area? And even more than that, why would she make sure to have a full or close to full tank if she were say 70 miles away from her destination. All this is sloppy stats for ya. Just saying,(to shoot the suicide idea down), why fill your car up from the first fill up if it's a one way trip?.........
??????????

<quoted text>Bill05478, I believe they were open until 8 and I do think they had gas.

No activity on any credit cards.....so she'd've paid by cash for any and all gas toward the end of the trip.
If she'd been drinking, why would she risk anything by making any kind of stop that she didn't need to? There are rest stations for personal breaks and as someone else suggested, mother nature, not just a gas station.

My sons lived on Carr Rd. which is almost directly across from the store and they beg to differ on the gas being there. I was there in 2001 and and there were no gas pumps there then as well. Also they insist that the store closes at 6 and whenever I go over to see them, which is often now, the store is closed quite early. Whether they closed early then I could not tell you, but they insist, my oldest son says the only time they stay open late is during hunting season.

All I can say is look at the photo it does not lie she has nearly a full tank with the car in an off position. Once you crank the key over that gas gauge goes up not down. So she obviously filled up. As far as your theory I live much closer to Woodsville then the distance she had traveled from Amherst and I use more gas then you are speculating she used, get real. So what you are saying is she drove from Amherst and only used a 16th of a tank?...NOT!!! The picture does not lie! The gas gauge as I stated before is located on the lower left of the instrument cluster: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/MauraM...

<quoted text>Maybe there is no gas. A poster from several years ago stated she left the store at around 8 when it closed.

It certainly looks as if Maura´s intention was to continue driving for quite some while, since she quite obviously filled up her car somewhere close to where her car was found.
My theory is that she might well have been heading to the Bartlett area, and instead of driving US 302 east from Woodsville, she chose Rte 112.
Why?
Well, it could be argued that Rte 112 looks like being the shortest route when studying a road map over the area.
Since Maura apparently had never driven this part of Rte 112 previously, she could not previously know the actual state of that road between the US 302 intersection and Lincoln/North Woodstock.

now, why would you make such a statement without verifying it? Bill has twice refuted this claim....but you just drop it and leave it.

I just received an email from MM's aunt and she told me the gas stations were looked into, but she does not know to what extent, LE will not release that or any info because of the ongoing investigation.
