Airbag deployment can crack windshields. There are videos on YouTube and elsewhere to that effect. Much data out there too.

The question might be: was epithelial matter found on the windshield?

The other interesting point is that an officer at the accident scene involving Toyota in Hadley(?)/near Hadley(?)...believe "inattentiveness" was documented by officer? The inattentiveness and so many accidents within 2 or 3 days. Wondering if she may have sustained a head injury, or possibly having some type of ongoing neurological problem. Why I say this is because of some statements made by those who knew Maura. Some of them had noticed something different about her. They had noticed a change in Maura. Change in affect? Even Billy mentioned that in his last phone conversation he thought there was something that seemed a little unusual, as though something else was on her mind. Wondering if these people in Maura's inner circle could have been observing signs and symptoms of head injury and were misinterpreting their observations. All of these people were noticing something different about her, change in her behavior, something out of the norm and she'd had so many accidents within a very short period of time.

So the translation of this is that they commit suicide, just not as often.

you are making excuses to justify her actions. yeah, something was wrong....she had a meltdown, lied, left her academics/family/friends without telling them her plans, and has disappeared. seems doubtful it was an undiagnosed head injury. more likely, another circumstance or relationship caused her to leave UMASS Amherst.

To all those people suggesting LE should have searched sooner for a girl who crashed her car, refused help from a passerby, and then fled the scene on foot within minutes of a cop arriving?
Absurd, she left for a reason and it is impractical to suggest that cops should have mounted a search immediately. If you do, then don't bitch when your taxes quadruple because we are searching for every drunk who wants to avoid a DWI pinch...
Thank god someone else has a clue. I remember asking some of these people what they thought an appropriate response should have been. Did they think that helicopters and the national guard should be called out? K9 search and rescue teams should immediately start scouring the countryside?

There are some that actually think that is appropriate. They live in a fantasy land. That will never happen. One the is the incredible expense that would be incurred and two, You will grounds these teams down to nothing if you responded in that manner. Constantly activating and de-activating these groups would eventually demoralize these volunteers to the point were you likely would get no or inadequate responses. Many if not most of these groups are volunteers.

Yes but one of our opinions is based on lots of facts and experience, the other is based on nothing more than uneducated speculation with no experience whatsoever. How many searches have you conducted, or been on again?
I'll let you guess which is which.
I also have done or been involved in many searches. I have also run searches. I have read, taught and used search theory. I am the lead SAR for my fire department. I have searched for people and sign in both the military and civilian SAR.

FrmLE is right, jwb is wrong.

Her head did not impact the windshield, there are clear indications when this happens and in this case there were none.
Again, this has been repeated by me, almost with the same verbiage for the last eight years. It is correct. People that look at these things like FrmLE and I can state that was not a head strike.

And yes, aftermath is out there.

Frostman,
If you look closely at the damage to the windshield, it's positioning and pattern is not that of airbag deployment. The head did not exit the window; victim may have had closed head injury, concussion. Also, the possibility exists that she may have had additional accidents other than the known number that were reported, known to have occurred in the 2 or 3 day period preceding her disappearance. It would be of interest to review her driving record over several-year period and compare the incidents, frequency to the number of accidents in which she was involved over the 2 or 3 day period prior to her disappearance. A lot of people in her inner circle had been noticing something "different" about her, she'd had at least one observable tearful episode (significant enough it warranted her supervisor assisting her back to her dorm room), her bf interpreted her behavior/conversation with him as though she had something on her mind, these accidents within a 2 or 3 day period, inconsistencies based on her normal behavior, presentation. Given the damage to the windshield, possible tbi and resulting confusion, disorientation, would make it more likely that she may have wandered off into the forest....and she had experienced one other accident previous to last known accident. Then of course the possibility exists that it may have been her driving away from another accident earlier that evening on Route 112. Head injury is common in auto accidents and she had at least 2 or 3 within a day or two.........and possibly others? that may not have been reported. Refer to www.mcdonoughvoice.com (Teen with Head Injuries Wanders from Crash Scene).

so there is no argument here from at least 2 sources who have direct experience with LE / Search and Rescue....that it is impossible for public servants to be the "keepers" of all individuals all of the time.
we are as safe as our whereabouts that are last known to our loved ones in most circumstances, and as safe as secrets allow us to be when it's time to backtrack and unwind whatever thread became knotted. in this case...it is a disappearance.

Speaking for myself. I have actually done this. I have acutally been in searches. I have been in the woods. I have been out at night, during sleet and rain. I have hard won knowledge based upon actual experience. I have the respect, acknowledgement from peers, subordinates and superiors that I know what I am doing because in these situations I an put in charge. PEOPLE WHO NEED THIS DONE, PICK ME TO RUN AND BRING THESE OTHERS HOME. I am not better than anyone else. But I have spent nearly 35 years working my ass off to be good at this. The people who need to explain what happened to families pick me to run these events. The people that are answerable as to what happened and what did we do and who must make the decisions pick me to run these events. When they want a search and rescue done in my county and they look to someone to run these event they pick me. When they want wilderness medicine taught in my department or they need and EMT they also use me. Does that mean anything to you? Does that mean I feel superior to everyone else or am I just the most qualified person for the job? Or does it have nothing to do with us and is it that you just feel inferior to us in training, experience, and knowledge?

I expect and have seen relatives get emotional. It comes with the territory and as a Emergency worker you learn and are taught to not take it personally. Usually it isn't. While it usually isn't personal, it seemed that Fred went out of his way to make it personal.

Just like the family of Patric McCarthy went berzerk when we didn't call the FBI in......

Until of course the FBI WAS called in and supported the position of New Hampshire Law Enforcement, then they DIDN'T WANT the FBI's opinion, lol....

Such a joke.

Well Sir, lol, let me put it this way.... WRONG!

lol, again I have no idea where you get your info but after extensive review the windshield was in fact cracked by the airbag deployment and not by the head striking it.

Let me ask you this, just a question for all of you who have never been in an accident with airbag deployment.....

If the airbag did deploy in the accident, which is certainly did, how in the world can any person fit their head over top of the airbag and strike the windshield? The airbag deploys, inflates in a fraction of a second, and is literally a huge mesh barrier between the driver and the steering wheel. That is it's job, to prevent contact with the steering wheel.

So how can the airbag inflate and Mauras head go by the airbag, by the steering wheel and dashboard, and strike the windshield?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

And btw, it wasn't just that she didn't want BA to call police, it was that she lied to him and then comitted a criminal offense by leaving the scene of an accident when help was coming.
Lord love a duck, not this biased gobbledygook again.

Who said she left the scene of the accident? She could have been lifted right from the car while trying to fend off the attacker with the box of wine. A brazen attacker could break her neck in a few seconds. No blood, no struggle. Maybe the cracked windshield was the sign of a struggle?-- doubtful but possible. She might have just thought the perp. was BA again checking on her and thus let her guard down.

She could have been walking up the road a few yards in an attempt to get cell reception and got snatched by creeps who stalked her from I-91. The search dog could have been hitting on her scent while she was already in the pep's vehicle. The perp(s) crank up the radio as she screams and BA hears nothing.

Unless someone can prove MM was drinking in the car or tell me there was wine in the Coke bottle and MM's DNA was on that bottle I doubt that she was drinking AT ALL. After having an accident 40 hours earlier you probably wouldn't try that stunt again. You'd wait until you got to your destination before opening a cold one.

She might have just been cautious of BA or couldn't see his face to see what (by all accounts) a sweet, nice guy he was. If she was leery of a stranger in a bus who could blame her? Perhaps she just thought she could handle it herself. BA didn't tell her there was no cell coverage at WB or did he? She probably though it would be okay with the AAA+ card that SR bought her or that she'd just walk to the next house, where a woman might be home, for a minute or so, if the cell wouldn't work.

If you don't have facts then it's just a rumor in the common man's scheisse haus. Nothing more.

What’s with all this churchy, judgmental stuff about lying? Are some here truly that puritanical or do you just have portable confessional boxes in your living rooms 24/7? A girl takes the path of least resistance and at least tells her supervisors she'll be away and now she's condemned to Topix purgatory? Some of you are letting that cloud your objectivity.

Rent-a-confessional, I think there's an App. for that.:)

Maura had only been driving for about 6 months. She got her license in 2003, I believe it was in the early fall of 2003.

Spoken like someone in serious denial.

When the US looks for ballistic missiles bases around the world from satellite views, they don't look for missiles. They don't need to see the ballistic missiles. They can look for the patterns on the ground. If you have those patterns on the ground, you don't need to SEE the ballistic missiles. Everyone knows that they are there. Well, learned people know, that they are there.

Cops, firefighters, and EMT's see patterns all the time. We recognize them like we are hearing thunder. If I hear thunder, no one needs to tell me that there was lightning. I know there was.

No denial, just show me the proof. All that's out there is Scarinza saying there was a Coke bottle that was observed by LE, maybe with a red liquid, that smelled like alcohol. This is bottle is missing, maybe that one, it's all accounted for, perhaps consumed by MM, maybe not.

If you crashed your car and you'd been drinking you would put the booze in the trunk, down or wheel well or at least clean up the mess and throw away the evidence in the bush away from the car not right by the car or under it. You'd have to figure that the police will be along sooner or later.

Or at least that's what I'd do if I waz toad-alley fish-faced end kun't dwive me kaar...
