Maybe a Freudian slip ? May have been mentioned before, but IMHO the video contains footage of the Saturn and it's condition before it left Amherst.

Just failing eyesight.

Whiston brought up a good point about people that used the ATM before and after Maura may have seen something, and my point was that LE didn't have to publicly appeal to everyone to get an idea if they saw something. LE could have contacted these people directly from info obtained from the Bank.

SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR:
Joining us this morning from a motel in Wells River, Vermont, which has now become a home base for the searchers, Maura's father, Fred Murray, and her boyfriend, Army Lieutenant Bill Rausch.
The details are bizarre. Maura disappeared on Monday under very strange circumstances. Why don't you describe what you know about what happened?
LT. BILL RAUSCH, U.S. ARMY, MISSING WOMAN'S BOYFRIEND: Well, as far as we know, we are not exactly sure what did happen. However, I did receive a phone call from Maura as well as an e-mail Monday afternoon that said that she wanted to talk with me and for me to call her back......
I received Tuesday morning last week right after the accident another voice mail, a chilling voice mail that was what I believed to be Maura whimpering and crying in the background.
O'BRIEN: Did she say anything in that message, anything specific? Or was it only what you can hear was crying?
RAUSCH: I could only hear breathing, and then towards the end of the voice mail I heard what was apparent to be crying and then a whimper, which I'm certain was Maura.
O'BRIEN: Mr. Murray, let's back up a little bit.

Maura had taken some money out of the ATM, had e-mailed her professor saying that she was going to miss some classes because of a family situation, and gotten in her car and headed north. Does anyone have any idea where she was headed, where she was going?

FRED MURRAY, FATHER OF MISSING STUDENT: We think because of the general direction she was traveling that she was going to an area that she's familiar with, which would be up in the White Mountains where we used to camp and hike. But the whole thing came on so suddenly that I know the night before she had no such plans. I spoke to her, and she was due to talk to me Monday night, but I don't think she was able to.

O'BRIEN: Was it typical at all for her to throw stuff in a car and say, hey, you know, I'm going to get out of town for a couple of days and just, you know, make a snap decision like that overnight? Or would that be very unusual for her?

MURRAY: She had never done it before, and no one that knows her can explain it. She's a very dependable kid, and she follows through on what she says she's going to do. And, again, I don't think that she was able to in this case.

O'BRIEN: She called you on a voice mail, Lieutenant Rausch, after this accident, and a local person stopped to help her, and she kind of waved them off. They say maybe she had been drinking even, but waved them off and said, no, no, no, I'm fine, I'm fine. She had sort of plowed into a little bit of a snow bank. Give me a sense of what the locals have been able to tell you about what happened after that, the last person who saw her, because other people saw her around the car, isn't that right?

RAUSCH: Yes. In fact, according to the local authorities, as well as eyewitnesses, Maura was seen at the vehicle not more than a minute before the authorities arrived at the scene, which leads us to believe that she was either picked up by an individual immediately after eyewitnesses saw her, or she walked up the road and was picked up then. The police themselves conducted a very thorough search with the Fish and Game folks here in the area, and with a dog scent leading only a few hundred feet from the accident and abruptly stopping, which again suggests that someone did, in fact, pick her up.

O'BRIEN: So, with her professor saying that nursing students are notoriously reliable young people, what do you think has happened? Do you think that there has been foul play at all? Do you think, especially in light of this phone message that you have of crying and whimpering, do you have any theories on what might have happened to Maura?

RAUSCH: Well, we're uncertain obviously of exactly did happen. But as Fred said, this is completely out of character in regard to her not being able to contact us. She had planned to call Fred that evening, her father. She had planned on calling me, wanted me to return her phone call. And if she were able to do so, we are 100 percent certain that she would have done exactly that.

O'BRIEN: Well, we're showing her picture, and we're certainly hopeful that if anybody has seen her or anyone has any information about Maura Murray that they will get in touch with you immediately. Obviously lots of people are worried about the status of this young woman.

Thank you for talking with us this morning. We certainly we wish you the best of luck in your search.

RAUSCH: Thank you.

Are you referring to Liquors 44 on Russell St?

I think it is very possible and probably likely that maura would use an atm at the same location as the liquor store.

Thank you, but if you posted the link it would help. Never saw that before.

This is why I get so confused about this case. Didn't people, her friends, say that she did this at least once before? I thought they actually said she did this fairly regularly? Yet of course, the people that supposedly know her best say she never did things like that.

LD said she had done it once before. Took a trip to Boston for a day without telling anyone.

Keep in mind an answer to this could be very different depending on who you ask in Maura's life. Just because she took a trip to Boston without telling her friends - "anyone" to LD - doesn't mean her family didn't know she was there. LD isn't going to be talking to FM everyday so information like that falls between the cracks of two different "social circles" that Maura had.

I think you have to take every generalization a friend or relative makes about Maura or her tendencies with a grain of salt. I think most people have very different lives when it comes to what their friends know about them compared to what their families know about them.

I have many times gone through a mental list of the many revealing details Maura's family must know that are still being debated publicly. Small details but details that if known for Fact would allow the many intelligent people in this and other blogs to move on to other aspects of this case. Before LE decided they might have a murder investigation in their hands they must have given Fred many "small " important details not known to everyone. It is for this reason that I think the family's refusal to even share those details is uncalled for and rather selfish. Sharring those "small" details would not in any way compromise her privacy because they would have to do strictly with allowing some rather important issues to be discarted or included in trying to find what happened. I dont mean to be hurtful or disrespectful of this family. Is just that I think they could set the record straight. That would be a nice gesture on her behalf.

DT?

Green is going nuts over at Rennerworld tonight. Hard to find where the insults stop and the investigating begins.

Renner would be smart to ban him and delete aloof his comments/posts.

DT??
