Maura Murray

A guy with NY plates showed up at the Stage Stop asking the owner some questions. He left in a similar manner as did Mr. Renner.
Prior to that a local had seen a contractor vehicle with NY plates in the vicinity of the weathered barn. They wrote down the plate number, which I might still have. Or maybe "just me" might have it unkowingly.

mcsmom,
Very interesting post with some information that I have never ever seen before, despite having followed the MM case for years.
May I ask what you source for this is regarding the NY guy making enquiries at the Stage Stop Store and the contractor vehicle with NY plates seen near the WB curve on Rte 112.
When was this supposed to have happened?
Thanks!

Back to the considering suicide theory..... Last but not least, she buys a LOT of alcohol,I read she also had sleeping pills, she has the book, and last BUT NOT LEAST, she has Fred's comment which is basically, WHEN I'M NO USE ANY MORE I'M GOING TO THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN WITH A BOTTLE TO DIE!!!
.... Maura has the alcohol, the pills, and the mountains, a place she may have felt at peace and wanted to die in a place so special to her.

The Stage Stop owner told me herself.
The contractor info came from a couple of locals.
The Stage Stop occured in spring 2006 or 2007 need to look back at my notes.
The contractor sighting was before that.

mcsmom,
Thanks for this additional information.
Do you have any idea at all whether the NY plated vehicle might have been one and the same in these two instances?
Any description at all regarding the man in the NY plated vehicle who was making enquiries at the Stage Stop store?
Young, middle-aged, elderly?
Thanks again.

Just for the record, I believe the pills were actually reported to be Tylenol. Not sleeping pills, so far as I recall.

I saw that also, It would be worth the trip if I were there folks.

The Stage Stop was a car, she might have said
a Volvo with NY plates, and that the guy was claiming to be a journalist.
The contractor vehicle was a private electrical truck.
I need to check my notes though for accuracy.

Many thanks again for this information, which is all new to me.
So, likely a Volvo at the store.
A "typical" car in East Coast academic circles, which kind of ties in with James Renner´s blog post today. Just saying...
Someone from NY state who feels strongly enough about Maura and her unknown fate in order to travel to Grafton county and stopping at the Stage Stop store in Swiftwater village in order to make enquiries about Maura, likely pretending to be a journalist.
And this happens two or three years after Maura´s disappearance.
Interesting and intriguing, I would say.

I see that Renner took down the Gollum post. Good. I thought it was totally irresponsible of him to do such a thing.

Not an entirely unexpected development for sure.
Well, the professor has rightly or wrongly been "outed" on a public web page, if only for a day, so one would hope that Mr Renner at least has some kind of justification for having done so in the first place.
Even though the blog post might be down for good, the damage can´t be undone to this individual´s reputation.
However unfair or not the name RMSMcD will now be tied with Maura Murray´s, one way or other.

I seriously doubt Maura or anyone hiding or on the run would allow their picture to be taken and publicized. There was a girl in Hillsboro NH that worked at Shaws Supermarket that VERY easily could have been mistaken for Maura.
