NO LE, FD, EMS whether in Emergency vehicles or private vehicles came from the east that evening. This is per interviews with all of the above.
It was stated by LE themselves that they did not search to the east that night past BHR.
This direction should not have been ruled out that early in the investigation.
How did they decide that going to the east was not a reasonable egress of the scene?
Sorry WTH....You are wrong...but maybe IF You were there that night things might have gone differently with your input.
OH NO that just would have been one more person saying, "WE don't need to go east, why would She go east, Her car was headed east but She probably went west, but She was running from the scene, maybe She did go east. NO
Maybe it was Fred Murray driving Smith says or did You see the girl that was driving the car or maybe She went to Mtn lakes or snowmobiling.
Don't go east....NO REASON....NOPE NONE AT ALL.
Give Me a break

to my understanding, there were no physical signs of a struggle in the immediate area of her disappearance.
passers-by and neighbors could have been alerted to the sounds of a scuffle, a blowing horn or a scream for help; evidence of articles of clothing or possessions left behind in the vicinity might have been obvious signs of a struggle. there were none.
correct. she didn't want help. she must have had another plan in mind.

Who knows? She may be in the witness protection program.

i believe the better focus would be to know where she was headed, and/or with whom she might have traveled, and especially to know the status of all of her relationships at that time. it might go a long way to explain why she left/ran from Amherst.

Snowy, I'm not saying she was abducted, I'm saying if in fact she got in a car with someone she knew or recognized, I highly doubt that the second or minute that she got in the car she would turn and scream and there would be a struggle, not with someone she knew, who knows where the struggle (if there was one) could have happened? And why would there be torn clothing on the ground? Could just be in the truck/car, whatever or maybe there was no torn clothing at all. It could have been any number of scenerios, she bent over to pick something up and was struck in the car, she looked in her backpack for something and was hit, God only knows really. But the fact remains that you're not hearing a scream for help inside a car in February. There is no evidence of a struggle or an abduction, and yes, very well might have been that her choices led her to the situation she was in when she disappeared.

There is absolutely no way in hell that she is in the witness protection program.
That's just silly

as you said 5,000...and i'll add questions and points of speculation.
unknowns.
if you drag someone against their will, they may leave a shoe behind them, or clothing may be torn in the ensuing struggle.
IF she accepted a ride with someone she knew, a family member or friend, then they know exactly what happened.
i don't believe FrmLE's emphatic statement that a relative was not involved. that is purely an opinion. i don't accept that he is, in fact, FmrLE just because he say so.

Good to see you. I never thought of the signs of struggle. I always said it, but I never actually though of signs of struggles that could be left behind. Jackets, backpack, cellphone. Good post.

Again John, we need to qualify this with the comment that you aren't particularly bright but I would check with the people in charge of that initial search. We have already established that the things you DON'T know would fill volumes. The thing I know for sure is that you weren't there. So anything you say, is guesswork, not even educated guesswork. They may have had specific reasons that you don't know. I suggest you check with them. Unless of course they won't talk to you. Knowing your reputation.
And again, you operate under the premise that they were under some obligation to find Maura that night. She ran from the scene. I suspect that if she stayed at the car, like she should have. CS would have found or maybe supplied a ride for her. And when you say "didn't go east". We know he went to SBD's house, correct? That was east of the scene. SBD didn't see her pass by correct? So what you mean is you don't think they went far enough east for your sensibilities. Too bad you weren't in charge that night. I am sure you would have found her with your keen intellect and sharp sense of direction. She would have been a lucky girl indeed to have you on her side.:barf:
