Green's new blog post today is mostly a waste of time. This teammate of Maura's sounds like she didn't really know her very well. According to the UMASS Women's Track Roster for the year Maura was on the team, there were 60 girls on the team. Since the teammate "MN" describes Maura as "friendly but private and tended to avoid detailed conversation about Billy," and MN only met Billy briefly, it does not sound to me like they were really friends, more like acquaintances. It would be nice to know if their acquaintance lasted beyond the end of the 2003 track season.
The only information that has any value or can be thought of as "facts" are:
"Maura was not running well during her one year on the team."
"During winter break 2002-03, the team returned several weeks before spring semester began to practice. They stayed in a local hotel. Billy visited Maura for a few days during which they did not socialize much with the team. MN recalls briefly meeting Billy and that 'everyone liked him.'
The team was told about Maura's disappearance on a Saturday, February 14, at a track meet."
"MN knew Hossein, saying he was 'friendly and liked to joke around.' If they were dating, MN said,'nobody knew about it' and it must have been a closely held secret as 'gossip like that would have spread quickly.'"
"During the spring season, on Maura's birthday, Kate organized a moment of silence for Maura during which her teammates released balloons."
Everything else is supposition by MN, and has as much value as any guesses made by all of the MM websleuths.

If you guys don't think that in general different detectives handle a missing person and an endangered missing person then idk what to tell you.
Something like 4,000 people go missing a day, something crazy like that, the vast majority of those people turn up unharmed after short amount of time. The same guys that investigate murders & abductions aren't going to waste their time on cases where they don't think the person is endangered. How can you guys NOT understand that?
To me this shows a willfull decision to not admit what is blatantly obviously true, it's called denial & it is clearly evident on this forum. Not only do you deny something that is just undeniable you also attack the messenger, GREAT people you guys are. Lol
Yea that makes A LOT of sense, the same guys handling murders also waste their time handling missing persons that they don't think are endangered missing. Yea maybe Sometimes a lead might be followed by the murder guys but that would be rare. A different person holds files for suspected foul play than the missin persons where foul play is not suspected. It looks like theres some crossover in the nhsp but that's the exception not the rule. In reality you guys are showing how little you actually know about what your talkin, if you guys only knew half of what you THINK you know...

Hey Lighthouse, What is with the infatuation with Jenkins? Seems like every one of your posts is geared unkindly towards Jenkins. I realize that you aren't really interested in the Maura Murray case, but the forum is about Maura Murray missing and not about Jenkins posting.

Lighthouse 101's are actually very respectful and nice compared to what Jenkins writes. Jenkins uses inflammatory language and directly questions others intelligence in nearly every one of his posts. If you want to chastise someone for their posts, Jenkins is a much better choice than Lighthouse 101. She should be commended for keeping it cool in her responses.

Jenkins at least tries to talk about the case 95 % of the time.

Lighthouse actually has very well thought out and informative comments. Just because someone points out serious flaws in logic or manner of thought doesn't make someone negative. Those are actually useful and should be applauded.
And sorry, but jenkins in particular and a few others contribute harmful diatribes that are often posted as things he "knows" or "facts" that he has found when examined, are totally incorrect and if taken as useful would throw people even farther afield. Anyone identifying posts that are offered as fact and aren't are to be applauded in my opinion. I think that jenkins has been proven repeatedly that he posts totally incorrect information so much so that I don't really bother reading what he posts.

Well, in reality he's only talked about the case maybe 5 times and the rest has been repeats.

I agree. And I posted a comment that says as much. But I'm certain it won't be approved.
