So, basically we have four different and competing groups on this forum:
1. Those who more or less suggest that there is some kind of cover-up within the ranks of the Murray family regarding Maura´s past and the events leading up to her disappearance and perhaps beyond?
2. Those who favour the theory of Maura as a run-away, either by premeditation or by default as a consequence of her NH accident.
3. Those who suggest that Maura fled from her wrecked car and by doing so perished in the cold due to "natural reasons", however horrible.
4. Those who suspect some kind of foul play, not necessarily excluding a possible rogue LE element.
It is interesting to ponder the fact that most private investigators involved in Maura´s case do seem to lean towards the foul play theory, one way or other.
I wish that one or two of these PI´s would consider getting involved on this forum again, as has happened previously.

The alleged duct tape and hair to my knowledge has NEVER been verified as being a true story and I believe ( not 100% sure ) when the poster was pressed about this he or she fell of the map.

The problem with the investigators is they have NO fact or evidence to back up the foul play theory. It seems some of them couldn't even get along together. I believe they based this theory on statistics and nothing more. Do I think possible foul play could have occurred, yes but no where near as likely as hypothermia. We have little to no facts or evidence after Maura left the scene other than the contractor believing he saw her miles down the road.
I tend to believe it could have been her because who the heck else would be in that desolate location at that time of night and it seems if memory serves me correctly he had the clothing description right as well as having a backpack. I try to keep it simple and go on what we have, alcohol, exertion, fatigue, and the elements equal a prime candidate for hypothermia.
I also feel the Murray's did leave some elements of Maura's life out as they felt it wasn't relevant and may tarnish her all American girl image portrayed by the media. I think she was a typical college student, decent kid and was somewhat lost in life and it got the best of her. I think the least likely is she left of her own accord and rogue LE theory. She would have needed help and financial aid to disappear under those circumstances and immense luck not to be discovered by now, but stranger things have happened.

<quoted text> That's a good question. The brother should have been questioned immediately by the police and he is the one that should have handed the knife to the police. After him and Fred and who knows how many others handled it it was pretty much useless as evidence. I don't think we know the full story on it. I think we only know what some want us to know.

I've read that someone had given Maura a phone card as a gift and I know that as a nursing student there may have been some type of situation whereby she was given a Red Cross phone card. However, first responders also have Red Cross phone cards (give to people in need, in emergencies, etc). This was even a greater practice after 9/11. I'm sure an abductor would not give Maura a Red Cross phone card, but she may have found one while in the trunk of his car or in building where she was being held.

It seems NH le restricted FBI involvement to MA? If this was the case, even the FBI might have been restricted from inquiring where the NH trooper was for that 2-hour period the evening of Feb 9, 2004.

Based on RF sighting and its credibility with NHSP that is why the duct tape might be important. It would be approx 2 miles from where he supposedly saw her and where the tape was found. very plausible.

The duct absolutely would be important to test for DNA IF ITS REAL! As I stated it seems NO one ever verified this and the poster seems to have ducked for cover when pressed. Some people like to push buttons, some like to look important and some are just plain idiots and that's what muddies the water in the Maura investigation and various forums. IF the duct tape is real where's the evidence of its existence?
