In watching a little bit of the disappeared series. Scarzienza states that the NHSP had a helicopter up in the air the next morning. That makes more sense than the nhsp getting involved on wed. He must have meant to say that he got a call at 6am on tues morning from Chief Williams.
"HAVERHILL, NH - Nancy Lyon and her canine partner, a 3-year-old malinois, Quicklie, spent most of Thursday morning scouring a section of Route 112 for a missing 21-year-old Hanson, Mass., woman.
Lyon and Quiklie are members of the New England K-9 Search and Rescue group. They were one of three canine teams taking part in the search for Maura Murray, a nursing student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
They were unable to turn up any sign of the missing college student.
A ground and air search coordinated by New Hampshire Fish and Game failed to turn up any clues in Murray's disappearance Thursday." This was in the Caledonian Record in Feb. 04
And this in July 04: "Scarinza also said when Murray left Massachusetts, she had with her a box of wine, and bottles of vodka, Kahlua and Bailey's Irish Cream.
The box of wine, most of which had spilled, was found in the car. Some of the other bottles were not found....Scarinza has said Murray told police his daughter was suicidal.
However, the first mention of Maura being suicidal was in a press release issued by Haverhill Police Chief Jeff Williams two days after Maura's car accident and disappearance.
Murray says he never told police his daughter was suicidal.
"I want to set the record straight," he said. "Scarinza is using (Howe's book) to reinforce his suicide theory. It's nothing like that.
"Maura liked the book," he said. "She was making her way through it. The reason she liked the book was because she likes several different areas in the White Mountains. There are all kinds of landmarks. That's all it was."
Although he is upset about Scarinza's comments, Murray isn't surprised.
"If he goes with the suicide theory, that means nothing happened on his turf and during his watch," Murray said. "However, when you have a bad guy (involved), it's in (Scarinza's) back yard and he can't solve it."
"He's pushing it hard," he continued. "He's to the point he's making things up."
Rausch, equally upset with Scarinza's comments, says, "It's pretty pathetic that 41/2 months later, the state police want to secure the evidence."
She says it's comparable to the state police not searching for Maura until 36 hours after she disappeared.
"They never did a forensics study," Rausch said. "And Lt. Scarinza is providing a lot of misinformation to the public - including that she ran away to a new life; she froze to death; she committed suicide."
"When I lay awake at night," she continued, "I wonder how well Lt. Scarinza is sleeping."
And Rausch is adamant when she says she never told Scarinza about "Not Without Peril."
"That angers me because this is just another thing that is a lie," she said. "Why didn't he ask me what that meant?"
Rausch was referring to Maura saying the book was her favorite.
"She told me (the White Mountains are) a favorite place she likes to go," she said, adding Maura told her,ÔAnd most of all it's my favorite place on earth.'"
Scarinza could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.
