And why is it that we never had a detailed description of what she was wearing other than jeans and a dark coat, in spite of there reportedly being a video of her? Usually someone, family or friend, is able to tell what the person is wearing based on exclusion, knowing what clothing they own.

Because until they find a body it is still an open investigation, that's how it works. What benefit would there be to releasing the information? So the keyboard detectives and internet superslueths can figure it all out on then interwebz?

I don't think she ran that deep into the woods to avoid the police, I think she went into the woods to be alone at the end. This is exactly what her father first thought when contacted by the HPD.
Either that or she went into the woods with the intent to commit suicide and got lost and/or disoriented in the dark and was unable to get out before she succumbed to the elements.
Those are the two most likely scenarios IMO.

It sure didn't sound from Scarinzas interview with Mr Renner that there was enough information to be 98% sure nothing happened to her. In fact he said the following: Scarinza continued that train of thought: "My sense is that she might have gotten a ride. But we don't know her ultimate destination. It's interesting that her backpack was missing from her car. That some liquor was missing. Until we know for sure what happened, we're going to treat this case as if she was a victim of a crime."

someone recently linked a FB page presumed to be of MM's sister on an Amherst Topix thread. it's a matter of opinion as to how much they may resemble each other.

I live in Hadley, about a 10 minute walk from the police station. I was very slightly acquainted with about half the department for a couple of years. I'm not sure what happened, but there is something about the Corolla crash that stinks around here. According to Renner (who I personally believe is a joke), if you believe anything he writes, then Scarinza, too, wonders why Maura was not arrested at the Corolla crash, presumably for operating under.
2-4 years ago, there was some trouble with a sergeant at the Hadley PD. The select board hired a Boston company to investigate. It was a real hot potato around here. After the town received the report, everything was "no comment." The report was never released. No statement of any use or specificity was ever released by the select board.
Maura may never have seen the responding officer, but she might have dropped a name.
Also, "kitten" said, in what I think was his/her last post, which I can no longer locate on Topix, that Maura was pulled over, presumably by a Hadley police officer, on Rt. 47. Rt. 47 is well west of the site of the Corolla crash. Kitten's post might have implied that Maura was pulled over a place along 47 here you could see the UMass campus, which would be in N. Hadley, between Comins Rd and Stockbridge.
After that post, kitten disappeared, and maybe her last post also disappeared.
Also, the only time even a small amount of vandalism happened in my old neighborhood in over 20 years, before I moved to Hadley, occurred just hours after I mentioned on a now-deleted Topix thread that police were all over the Corolla not long after the crash (Monday AM, at North Amherst Motors). Coincidence? Maybe.

I´m looking at google maps, and I´m wondering if she may have been on her way back to UMass, rather than going from it?

If I was listening to you, I wouldn't know shit, would I? I have been trained in physics, higher math and the physical sciences as a mechanical engineer. I have programed computers professionally for decades. They follow strict rules of logic. I can smell bullshit from miles away.
What really strikes me as incredibly odd is someone who is supposed to be a professional investigator is offended by one of the most basic of rules of logical thought.
Strange indeed.

Well, it´s quite interesting to see that the NHSP Cold Case Unit is describing the circumstances of Maura´s case as being "suspicious" on its own official web page.
Doesn´t really seem to me as if the NHSP CCU considers Maura´s case to be a matter of someone who either intentionally or not perished in the woods...
Such a scenario would hardly warrant the word "suspicious".
