Transcript
- 0:23You're listening to probation behavior.
- 0:28We are puppies galore today. I know, doggy daycare over here.
- 0:33Really, I had to bring Nemo because I had oh tippy tappy.
- 0:38She might settle. That's OK, you guys don't mind
- 0:41tippy tappies, do you? Tippy tappy, tippy tappies.
- 0:47OK. Well, Allie, how are you doing
- 0:50today? I am good.
- 0:52Nemo's sniffing the mic. I'm doing well.
- 0:55I'm doing well. I am excited for summer.
- 1:00I ordered some new bikinis. I hated them all.
- 1:02Send them back. You know how it be.
- 1:06Or you don't because you're hot. And so are you.
- 1:11I you know what I don't get a lot though is bikini.
- 1:14Like I feel like I I wear the same ones for a long time before
- 1:19I buy a new one. I.
- 1:21They're fun, I love them, they're just so expensive.
- 1:24They are so expensive. I also just feel like I it's
- 1:28really hard to find bikinis that fit my top.
- 1:31My my knockers. I didn't say it.
- 1:37And I think like I go through phases where I think I can pull
- 1:40off a certain like bikini of like, oh, this will not make me
- 1:44uncomfortable to be in. And then I keep that bikini and
- 1:47it stays in the corner of my bin forever and I never touch it
- 1:51because I'm like, why would I think I could ever wear that?
- 1:55So I feel like I'm looking these days for it's like very like
- 1:59almost 30s vibe like no, those are coming back.
- 2:04Those are coming back. Oh my God, it's hasn't come back
- 2:07for me yet. OK, I need some time.
- 2:09OK. To adjust a little behind with
- 2:11the. Fashion trend.
- 2:12Yeah, yeah, it still looks like a child to me, but I'm looking
- 2:15for like the mid rise. So it goes like over your belly
- 2:17button, sort of covers my like lower pouch stomach stomach, you
- 2:26know, I just feel like that's like very much like a 30s like
- 2:30vibe, you know? Yeah.
- 2:32And look, I, I wish I always buy bikinis and dresses and shirts
- 2:40and tops that I'm like, wow, cool version of Ally would
- 2:43totally wear this. And then I never end up wearing
- 2:45it because I always, I'm like, let's be comfy, you know?
- 2:48Yeah, I'm so sorry. I like blanked out for a little
- 2:52bit there. And you didn't hear what I said?
- 2:54That's cool. I.
- 2:55Isn't this podcast about listening?
- 2:58Well, we're the talkers, right? Yeah, but pretty sure you're
- 3:00supposed to listen while I'm talking and I'm supposed to
- 3:02listen while you're talking. But this is my episode so that.
- 3:04Is your episode That's true? That's true.
- 3:09OK, oh, I did want a quick say I.
- 3:12Did want a quick say. Yes, I did want a quick say
- 3:16quickly, very fast, rapid. Love Island is coming out.
- 3:24I think it's June 2nd. Got to eat that shit up for
- 3:28breakfast. Last summer, every single night
- 3:32I. Right, yes.
- 3:35When After Sun was on and on Wednesdays when they don't have
- 3:38episodes, I was pretty much depressed.
- 3:40I was like, what am I going to do with my night?
- 3:42No, it I've never I've always watched Love Island, but I never
- 3:46watched it like that consistently every single night.
- 3:50I usually was like binging a season like after the fact.
- 3:53So I'm excited about that. I just wanted to say it in case
- 3:56anybody else's and update on the Summer House saga.
- 4:02I was just going to say what is the update?
- 4:03I have no clue. Well, the reunion is coming out
- 4:07in a few weeks. Part 1, there's going to be 3
- 4:09parts of it. So the one part is is going to
- 4:12be the same day as premiere of Love Island.
- 4:14So what's a girl to do? I don't know.
- 4:17Wait, why would they do that to themselves?
- 4:20They're on different channels obviously, but.
- 4:21Yeah, but I don't know. I mean, I'm excited for all the
- 4:25content. Fair enough, I might watch the
- 4:29Summer House reunion having never seen Summer House.
- 4:31Do it. I did it with the scan ball
- 4:34situation with Vanderpump Rules, and then I went back and
- 4:37watched. Got into it, yeah.
- 4:39Didn't really like need fully need to watch it.
- 4:41Can we talk about how obsessed I am with Ariana Maddox?
- 4:45Like I am clinically obsessed with her.
- 4:49She is killing it. She is like the epitome of a bad
- 4:52bitch who got out of a bad relationship, who struts into
- 4:56Love Island and looks unbelievable.
- 5:00Oh my gosh that leads me to this.
- 5:02Sierra Miller is going to be Co hosting After Sun.
- 5:05Shut the fuck up with Maura. No, I don't know.
- 5:09Maura's not doing After Sun Or did she just do it for the
- 5:12British? I can't.
- 5:13Remember, hold on, pause, Teffy Pesoa is what?
- 5:20Do you know who that is? Teffy I love teffy TikTok.
- 5:22I don't know who that is, but she's Co hosting with Sierra.
- 5:26Let me make sure I'm thinking of the same teffy teffy.
- 5:30She's like yes she's a tik toker.
- 5:32I've I've loved her from day one.
- 5:34She just like. It's hilarious for, like, Sierra
- 5:38is now, like, really following on the Ariana Maddox train
- 5:41Exactly. Yeah.
- 5:42Like, they're both amazing. And I am.
- 5:44So for those arcs, yeah, I'm really happy for them.
- 5:48Me too. Well.
- 5:51Without further ado. Are we going to start every
- 5:53single? I said without further ado.
- 5:55Now you did, I think, is that going to become OK?
- 6:00People have said that as our podcast goes on, we will settle
- 6:04more into our niche. Maybe we'll have like a little
- 6:06outro, not like the outro music message, but like something that
- 6:10we say at the end of every episode or something we say in
- 6:12the beginning. Is this going to be our thing?
- 6:14Without further ado, can we come up with something?
- 6:16Better I was I That's so. Like unoriginal.
- 6:18Lame. It's OK, We'll get there, guys.
- 6:22Continue, Abigail. Thank you SO.
- 6:25Without further ado. I was.
- 6:27I was going to say it again. Sorry, I'm done talking.
- 6:30But we both said it enough already, so I'm going to jump
- 6:34right in, obviously starting with a quote as we've been
- 6:39doing. Maura was talented in everything
- 6:43she did, be it school work, straight A's, be it athletics,
- 6:48top notch and everything that she did.
- 6:51This quote comes from Fred Junior Murray, who is Maura's
- 6:56brother. So who was Maura Murray?
- 7:00Mara Murray was born on May 4th, 1982 in Brockton, MA.
- 7:06Shut up. That's where my dad was born.
- 7:07No way. And is from, Yeah.
- 7:09I figured you might be familiar. No, it's like right next to the
- 7:12town that I grew up in. Won't say what town, but see,
- 7:15I'm learning. But yeah, no, he grew up in
- 7:17Brockton. No way.
- 7:19Wait. OK, OK, this is ringing a bell,
- 7:22but I don't know what bell yet, so go.
- 7:24OK, so the youngest daughter of Fred Murray, a medical
- 7:28technician, and Laura Murray, a nurse, Mara grew up in Hanson,
- 7:34though a small suburb on the South Shore of Massachusetts and
- 7:38a working class family with siblings including her older
- 7:43brother Fred Junior, and then sisters Kathleen and Julie.
- 7:46And then she had a younger brother, Curtis.
- 7:48Her parents divorced when she was six years old.
- 7:51So as I mentioned, she grew up in Massachusetts and originally
- 7:57she attended West Point. Like her older sister Julie, she
- 8:01kind of followed in her footsteps.
- 8:04She seemed to put a lot of pressure on herself trying to be
- 8:07the best and was always perceived as, you know, just
- 8:11really hard worker, smart and high achieving.
- 8:16So after a few mishaps at West Point, which I'll get into a
- 8:20little bit later, she ended up transferring to UMass Amherst.
- 8:25Incredible. Yes, I had a friend who went
- 8:28there. OK, so that's just a little bit
- 8:31of background on where she's at when this story takes place.
- 8:37Attending UMass as a student. She's also on the track team
- 8:41there. So Tuesday, February 10th, 2004,
- 8:46two calls were placed to the New Hampshire Police Department to
- 8:51report an accident. When the police arrived on scene
- 8:57of this car accident, the car was registered to a Fred Murray.
- 9:04The address was still her mom's house.
- 9:09Lori and obviously Fred and Laurie were no longer together,
- 9:14but the police ended up at Laurie's house.
- 9:17The police arrive at Laurie's house and Laurie informs the
- 9:21police that Fred, who was the owner of the car, gave the car
- 9:25to their daughter Laura. So obviously, she knows that
- 9:31Maura was the one driving the car and starts making calls to
- 9:35the rest of the family, trying to get answers of where Mara is.
- 9:39No one could reach her, and it was extremely bizarre.
- 9:44I want to take a quick pause to just mention that Julie Murray,
- 9:50Mara's older sister, has a podcast that details a lot of
- 9:56this. And so I'm going to refer to a
- 9:58few things from her podcast. It's called media Pressure and
- 10:03she is still actively talking about this case and there's
- 10:07things that are so detailed about this that you know, I
- 10:12recommend everybody go listen to her podcast because it's really
- 10:16good and obviously it's from first hand account of.
- 10:20Yeah, that's super rare and I'm really interested in checking
- 10:24that out. Yeah.
- 10:26So a lot of this does come from Julie's recalling of everything
- 10:32that happened. So Kathleen, her Kathleen,
- 10:36Maura's other sister, ends up calling and getting a hold of
- 10:40Fred, Maura's father and letting him know that Maura is missing
- 10:46and her car was found crashed. It was suspected that around
- 10:517:30 PM Maura crashed her black Saturn on a rural Rd. in
- 10:55Haverhill, NH. Allie helped me with that
- 11:00specific name because I did not know how how to pronounce it,
- 11:05and it's definitely difficult. You're welcome.
- 11:09Our New England expert over here.
- 11:12You're welcome. Can I get it once more?
- 11:16And you're welcome. Wait, you're welcome.
- 11:20That's from Awkward. Do you remember that TV show on
- 11:22MTV? You're welcome.
- 11:24You're welcome. I loved that show.
- 11:27I loved that show too. Maddie McKibben.
- 11:30Everything to me. Awoke me.
- 11:36Awkward. Yeah, OK.
- 11:40The police immediately recognized that the car had
- 11:42damaged to the bumper and hood on the driver side.
- 11:45It was said to be a single car accident, so no other vehicle
- 11:50involved. And from what they could gather,
- 11:52she had ran into and hit a tree a few weeks prior.
- 11:57The car was actually having some issues, a cylinder blew a gasket
- 12:02and her dad told her that it was unsafe to drive so do not drive
- 12:06the car. He actually ended up lending her
- 12:10his car to borrow when she needed.
- 12:13So the question was, why was she even driving it right?
- 12:18Her dad told her not to drive it and she got in an accident with
- 12:23it and she's nowhere to be seen. Another person that comes into
- 12:27play here is Bill, who is her boyfriend at the time he's
- 12:31contacted, I believe, by Fred to see if he knows anything, to see
- 12:36if she's contacted him is, you know, does he know anything
- 12:40about her whereabouts? And that comes up short as he
- 12:44claims to know nothing and he didn't know that this happened.
- 12:48They probably thought like oh she would, you know, reach out,
- 12:51tell her boyfriend. And from what I understand he
- 12:53lives out of state so he is not in the area when this is all
- 12:58going down. The police also found alcohol in
- 13:01her car. So they suspected ADUI
- 13:05situation. She was a college kid, alcohol
- 13:09in the car. They think she crashed it and
- 13:12then fled the scene to avoid getting in trouble by the
- 13:15police. OK, this is all kind of adding
- 13:19up, but it is very strange that she just wouldn't be in the car
- 13:24or call 911 because they're going to find out who the car.
- 13:27Is registered to, right? Yeah, it did.
- 13:29And connect the dots. That's when things with this
- 13:32case do. There's a lot of holes.
- 13:35Yeah, and I also if somebody's like inebriated and and just
- 13:39also probably have a concussion after, you know who knows, who
- 13:42knows, They would just. Stumble away and both airbags
- 13:45had been deployed as well. So also, just to preface, this
- 13:51is taking place in the middle of winter.
- 13:52This is February in New Hampshire at night.
- 13:56So the thought of her, you know, leaving on foot is concerning
- 14:02enough in those conditions. And it had just snowed.
- 14:06There was like 2 feet of fresh snow on the ground.
- 14:09Like there was a lot of snow. So again, her family's super
- 14:14concerned and that's clearly valid.
- 14:16Her dad ends up going to the scene of where he was told the
- 14:21crash was. This was, I think the following
- 14:24day he got to New Hampshire and decided to go himself.
- 14:29He was told that she it was by this red barn and at that time
- 14:34the car had been towed so it was no longer there.
- 14:38Her dad goes to the scene and he's looking for footprints or
- 14:43any evidence of her having been there because again, there was
- 14:46snow and he figured there would have been a trail of some sort
- 14:51if she just walked away into the woods and he didn't see
- 14:55anything. The police do end up bringing
- 14:58the dogs in and they say that the dogs had her scent for about
- 15:04100 feet and then they lost it. You have something to say.
- 15:10That's crazy. There were no footprints, but
- 15:13they had her scent for a bit. Like literally my brain is
- 15:16thinking alien abduction. That's how could the scent and
- 15:20then that's crazy. Yeah, well, some people
- 15:24speculate that she got into another car, which we'll get
- 15:29into more in a little bit. It was said by Julie that the
- 15:35scent that the dogs were able to get from Maura was a pair of
- 15:40gloves that were in the car. And her family, once they
- 15:44figured out what was used to like catch her scent, was
- 15:48concerned about it actually being her scent because these
- 15:53gloves were new. They were like a gift that she
- 15:55got for Christmas and they were in the car and according to her
- 16:00family, they were like, I don't even think she's like worn them.
- 16:02It almost seemed like they had just been in there and her dad
- 16:06was on the scene as well. And I don't want to, I might be
- 16:11wrong that the car was gone at this point.
- 16:13I'm not entirely sure. So I just want to preface that.
- 16:16But he was on the scene so they could have asked him like, you
- 16:20know, is there anything that she like a sweatshirt or something
- 16:23that was in the car? Because there was a lot of stuff
- 16:24in the car or. Does it have to be something
- 16:28that is right there? Can't they also, could they not
- 16:31like go to her? I guess it's New Hampshire.
- 16:33Like I'm just trying to think of like, wouldn't you want
- 16:35something that has a stronger scent?
- 16:37But I guess they need it quickly so it.
- 16:40I guess, but there's again, so many other things in the car and
- 16:43they picked these gloves, you know, I'm not saying that they
- 16:46picked them and they're like, oh, these these look like she
- 16:48never wore them. Like we're going to use these.
- 16:51Exactly. So anyways, I think her family,
- 16:55though was like, is that even really going to give us any
- 17:01answers? So the family was also concerned
- 17:05with lack of police action. We've seen this so many times
- 17:12before. It sounds like they were really
- 17:14stuck on the theory of college kid DUI, just trying not to get
- 17:21in trouble, probably hiding out, laying low and is going to turn
- 17:26up and her family again is like that's not her.
- 17:31This wouldn't happen. They were hoping police would be
- 17:34taking more action than they did at first.
- 17:38They did include the New Hampshire Fish and Game
- 17:43committee. I guess that started a search of
- 17:46their own. I don't know exactly what they
- 17:49are as an organization, but they were also conducting a search.
- 17:52Do you have any idea? Yeah, it's fish and playing
- 17:56games. Excuse me when I hear game, I
- 18:04think Uno. I think.
- 18:06Anyways, we don't have to go down that road.
- 18:09I know I have nothing valuable to add.
- 18:11Is that what you're asking? Yeah, No, nothing.
- 18:13I thought you were going to be like, Oh yes, it's blah, blah,
- 18:15blah, but that's OK. I Is it like the FDA of like
- 18:21fish and animals? But like, you know what?
- 18:25I mean like punching regulations like yes, I guess they.
- 18:28Just know the area so they're well.
- 18:32Yeah, it don't make sense. Yeah, they have to do probably a
- 18:34lot of like maps and and stuff. OK, we don't.
- 18:39We cut, Yeah. Cut.
- 18:44So as I said, her dad was on the scene.
- 18:46And soon enough, more of her loved ones, like her siblings
- 18:50and friends, started to join the search.
- 18:54The family noted again that the officers were off.
- 18:58They were kind of a bit dismissive and they started
- 19:02leaning on the idea that she was potentially suicidal.
- 19:08And as we know so many times like it feels like they get, you
- 19:13know, one lead or something that could lead a certain way or to
- 19:18lead to some answer and they really stick with it versus
- 19:23evaluating like so many other possibilities.
- 19:26I know it's like important to obviously investigate, to try
- 19:30and create a picture when you're trying to find somebody who's
- 19:32missing. But also, at the end of the day,
- 19:35does it really Like at the end of the day, you still need to
- 19:38put all of your effort into finding them.
- 19:41And I get it like they're they're, it provides a lot of
- 19:44information, you know, when you know kind of the motive and, and
- 19:48what's going on behind the scenes.
- 19:49But sometimes I feel like they use it as a crutch.
- 19:53They're like, oh, she's she's suicidal.
- 19:54Oh, it's a DUI. Oh, she probably just wandered
- 19:56off. She'll turn up to not look for
- 19:59them. And I'm like, that doesn't
- 20:00matter. She got into a car crash.
- 20:03She could probably have a concussion no matter what, where
- 20:06she is, who she's with, for what reason.
- 20:10You need to be looking for her. Like it doesn't change that
- 20:12fact. So that always throws me when
- 20:14when they get tunnel vision and then somehow that ends up just
- 20:18totally narrowing the case to something that isn't helpful.
- 20:22Agreed, obviously her family is going through an unthinkable and
- 20:26unfamiliar scenario like this is really scary for them.
- 20:30Again, it's winter, nobody can get a hold of her and it's like
- 20:34their worst nightmares coming true.
- 20:38Bill, her boyfriend, shared a detail to police that he
- 20:44received an odd voicemail when he was then on the way to help
- 20:49with the search of Maura again. He's coming to New Hampshire
- 20:53from wherever he lives. And I'm sorry, I don't know that
- 20:55detail right now. He said that the voicemail was
- 20:59extremely odd because it sounded like somebody was just, like,
- 21:03kind of breathing. And then there was, yeah,
- 21:07whimpering. Just those like whimpering
- 21:10sounds, breathing and that was it.
- 21:13The police are shown it, they hear it and they say that they
- 21:16will track the call, but they're pretty convinced that it is
- 21:21irrelevant because they are still believing that this is a
- 21:24DUI. Flee the scene situation.
- 21:27Again, how is it irrelevant? Everything is relevant at this
- 21:30point. Everything is relevant because
- 21:32you don't know. Exactly it.
- 21:35Yeah, this case takes a lot of turns and is.
- 21:39It going to inferior inferior. I think so the theories, again,
- 21:42I really encourage everybody to listen to Julie Murray's podcast
- 21:47because she knows more than anyone and shares a perspective
- 21:53that is just obviously so unique and I can't imagine her
- 21:58position. But like 22 years later, you
- 22:01know. Madding family members.
- 22:03Yes. So obviously, theory 1, the
- 22:08police are leading with the suicidal thoughts and that she
- 22:13was in a really bad place and they're starting to put that
- 22:16together because they end up going to her dorm room.
- 22:20She lived in a single dorm room. She had just moved into it like
- 22:2312 days prior, so no roommate or anything.
- 22:26And this is at UMass. They find an e-mail printed out
- 22:32in her room from Bill, her boyfriend, where he's
- 22:36apologizing to her for cheating on her.
- 22:39So they think that she crashed walked into the woods and was
- 22:43just like ready to let the elements like take her
- 22:47essentially. Her family quickly debunks this
- 22:50because her sister Julie says the note was super old, I think
- 22:54like 2 years old and in a box with several other letters that
- 22:58she saved. And she wasn't packing up her
- 23:00room, she was unpacking. So they see her room getting The
- 23:04police are under the impression she was packing things up.
- 23:08She was. Oh my God.
- 23:10Yeah, but she was actually in reality, just not fully unpacked
- 23:14yet from just moving into this dorm 12 days earlier.
- 23:18Oh my God. And I have to think too, you
- 23:21know, they're finding this box of notes and picking one out
- 23:26that seems to be convenient for their theory.
- 23:31Like, I don't know. That is super strange to me.
- 23:34As I mentioned, the family was pretty frustrated with police
- 23:38action. Her father, Fred, kind of took
- 23:41things in his own hands, and he went to some nearby neighbors of
- 23:46where the crash happened. And he figured he would start
- 23:50there and follow up after investigators only to find that
- 23:56the investigators really didn't speak to a lot of the
- 23:59surrounding neighbors. Yeah.
- 24:01So the first person that Fred pays a visit to is Faith Weston.
- 24:07She was the first call to police about the accident on that
- 24:12night. So Faith reports that at 7:27
- 24:17PM, she heard a crash and then looks out the window and saw the
- 24:22car off the side of the road. And she noted that she noticed
- 24:26the vehicle was facing in the wrong direction.
- 24:28So whatever way it was going, it was basically turned around.
- 24:34Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, so she was going down the
- 24:37wrong way. That's what it sounds like.
- 24:39Or they're saying that the car would have had to do like a 180.
- 24:44I don't know. Again, she was seeing this and
- 24:47it was kind of dark. She says that she also saw a man
- 24:53on the scene. This again, she didn't note
- 24:56seeing Maura, she just saw a man.
- 24:59The car and what she said looked like smoking a cigarette.
- 25:03Faith's husband, who also had a look from the house once Faith
- 25:07saw what happened, said that he saw what she described as a like
- 25:13a cigarette burning as a red light.
- 25:16I don't know whether he thought that was like a phone or
- 25:19whatever, but he said she probably mistook it and it
- 25:23wasn't actually a cigarette. Again, these are just little
- 25:26details, but at this point, you know, Fred's just looking for
- 25:32any answers to the other person that called the police was Butch
- 25:40Atwood. Butch Atwood pulled up to the
- 25:46car in his bus. He was a school bus driver, so
- 25:51he was in the bus apparently had just dropped off.
- 25:54I think some people that were going to ski, you know how
- 25:57sometimes like they have like buses to take people like up to
- 26:02the mountain and everything. What time is this again?
- 26:05What time is this all happening? Like 7:30 at night.
- 26:09Sorry, I keep picturing this at like 4:00 in the morning.
- 26:11But it's, you know, it's so dark at this point, at this time of
- 26:15year. Yeah.
- 26:16So it is like, it feels like so late, you know, once it hits
- 26:19like, 5:00 PM So anyways, Butch called the police at 7:42 to
- 26:26report the accident. He says he was on his way home
- 26:30and saw the driver, who he said was a young woman, and he pulled
- 26:35over to see if she was OK. She was super shaken up.
- 26:39He kind of noted that she was a little bit standoffish and he
- 26:43said he didn't see any noticeable injuries.
- 26:46Offered to call police and she declined, and she told him she
- 26:50already called AAA. He knew that this was incorrect
- 26:54because there's no signal at this spot since he lived in the
- 26:58neighborhood. He claims that there's no way
- 27:02she could have called AAA from here because there's no signal.
- 27:06It's like a dead spot. So he drives home, which is like
- 27:10right around the area and then calls police from his house.
- 27:15He then states like he didn't see her anymore.
- 27:18I don't know if he like went back to see but apparently he
- 27:22didn't see her again. Fred has shown a picture of
- 27:25Moore and he claims that is not the person that he saw and
- 27:29obviously. 2 Freds. Oh my gosh.
- 27:32Wait, sorry. OK, let me say this.
- 27:35I said the wrong name. Oh no, that's that's totally
- 27:37fine. I just want to make sure that
- 27:39I'm not. I was like, whoa, I'm sorry,
- 27:42wait a second. Fred doesn't know what his
- 27:43daughter looks like. Thank God for you.
- 27:47OK so Fred shows Butch a picture of Maura and what's a little off
- 27:55is Butch misidentifies her and says that's not who he saw.
- 28:01But then later he changes his story and said that it was her.
- 28:07His story seems to change a lot in like small details.
- 28:11Like in one of his statements he says he got out of the bus and
- 28:17was talking to her and another he says he just opens the door.
- 28:20Like, you know, things that don't.
- 28:23They're little things, but the story changing is always a
- 28:28tough. Yeah, I mean, eyewitness
- 28:30accounts aren't notoriously unreliable, as we all know, but
- 28:37I feel like it's unreliable in the sense of they don't totally
- 28:40remember what someone looks like or what they totally saw, not
- 28:44what they themselves did. That's super weird that he's
- 28:47lying. Yeah, because he is, like,
- 28:49lying. I don't like that.
- 28:52I don't like it. So at this point Mara has been
- 28:56missing for days and you have her dad following up with people
- 29:00and not the police. From what it seems like again,
- 29:03they are really set on this idea that she was depressed and just
- 29:12somebody that had too much pressure on them and couldn't
- 29:15take it anymore. Police shared that when they
- 29:17searched Maura's room to collect her computer, they found that
- 29:22she had been searching for directions to Vermont, I believe
- 29:26to Stow, Vermont and also New Hampshire, and had called some
- 29:30lodging places, sending emails and trying to like get
- 29:35information about stays at these different places in Vermont, New
- 29:40Hampshire. And they did find that there was
- 29:43nothing ever booked. So she never actually ended up
- 29:46booking anything, but she was looking into these things.
- 29:50She also had sent out emails to her professors saying that she
- 29:55had a death in the family and would be absent from classes for
- 29:58the next few days, but this was not true at all.
- 30:02Wait, OK, I have made-up lies before to get out of class.
- 30:08I've used that excuse before. Imagine your friend after like
- 30:13your friend dies and they get caught about lying like that.
- 30:17No, but imagine, because I I often think about what you would
- 30:21do for your friend if they were to ever get, you know, killed or
- 30:24they were to die suddenly. All of that the things you would
- 30:26do to like protect them, like, you know, maybe delete unsavory
- 30:31photos or something like that before, like the family season,
- 30:33all of that. You think about this often.
- 30:35No, I always say often whenever I say I think about something,
- 30:39the anxiety thing that we talked about in the last episode, I for
- 30:41sure do think about often. I mean more so when you listen
- 30:45to a lot of these cases, you think about, Oh my gosh, what if
- 30:48police were searching my room? What if police were searching
- 30:51your friends room? Like, and I've seen a lot of tik
- 30:54Toks that are like what, what I would do for my friend, you
- 30:56know, if I needed to hide some evidence or something like that.
- 30:59But my only point in bringing this up is imagine getting
- 31:03caught in a lie like that because you passed away.
- 31:05Obviously nobody gives a fuck because they just want you home
- 31:09or not pass away. And every, every like college
- 31:12kid does that. Oh.
- 31:13Totally so. But obviously with the events
- 31:17that followed, like it's a little suspicious and strange.
- 31:21So another thing Maura worked on campus and she had kind of like
- 31:27AI don't know if it was like not an RA, but she would like check
- 31:31students ID's when they would come into the dorm room.
- 31:34So kind of like a security officer type of position, super
- 31:39like cushy position. She kind of just would sit at
- 31:41the desk like do her homework, you know, make sure everybody
- 31:45who's there is supposed to be there.
- 31:47And also, mind you, this is like 3, I think, what, three years,
- 31:53four years after 911. So security is kind of also
- 31:58becoming a bigger thing. Just wanted to throw that out
- 32:02there. Just kind of like time and place
- 32:04of where we're at in this country.
- 32:06So February 6th, 5th. February 6th.
- 32:16I start losing all like ability to speak at this time of day.
- 32:19No, I understand. OK, so February 6th, I'm so
- 32:29sorry. Wait, hold on, let me let me
- 32:30check something. For our listeners, just a little
- 32:33insight, we film on Mondays at like anywhere between like 7:00
- 32:39and 10:00 PM. So you're catching us at A at a
- 32:42time, that's for sure. Back to you, Abigail, as you
- 32:45have now composed yourself. Take it away, OK?
- 32:49Without further ado. Without further ado, on February
- 32:536th, which is four days before the accident, Maura has a shift
- 33:00at her security job in one of the dorms and her supervisor
- 33:07named Karen May was called. I'm not sure by who, but
- 33:11reporting that Maura was super upset after receiving a phone
- 33:15call from her sister Kathleen. And we find out later that this
- 33:20phone call happened around 10:00 PM and Kathleen was letting
- 33:25Maura know that she relapsed. And I guess Kathleen's boyfriend
- 33:30like was driving her to a liquor store or something or like she
- 33:34was in the car with him. And so it was like a super
- 33:37upsetting situation. But again, this was at 10:00 PM.
- 33:43Karen was called around 3 hours later.
- 33:48And so the time difference between the phone call that was
- 33:52upsetting her and then when she apparently was just really
- 33:56emotional was three hours. And Karen says she was
- 34:01inconsolable. Like she could not get her to
- 34:03calm down. She was a mess.
- 34:05And all she could make out that she was saying was like my
- 34:08sister, my sister. And there was one other phone
- 34:14call that Mara had in those in between those three hours
- 34:18between the phone call with Kathleen and then her
- 34:22supervisor, Karen, coming to see what was going on.
- 34:25She called her boyfriend at the time.
- 34:28And not sure what the conversation was about, but just
- 34:34noting that because there is that big chunk of time, you
- 34:38know, maybe people process things differently.
- 34:40So I don't know, it seemed to have something to do with it
- 34:44because of what she was saying, that it was about her sister.
- 34:48But obviously nobody's really sure.
- 34:53So Karen, her supervisor, offered to stay with her, but
- 34:59Moore told her it's OK. Like, I have a roommate that's
- 35:02going to be there. But this was a lie because Maura
- 35:06was living in a single dorm. Why does she keep lying?
- 35:11I don't know. That's so.
- 35:14The following night takes us to February 7th.
- 35:17Maura and her friend Kate go to a dorm party.
- 35:22On the podcast Media Pressure, hosted by Julie.
- 35:25She says that Kate, who is Mara's friend, discussed the
- 35:30party just being super chill. Probably at most like 7 people
- 35:34there. Like I'm picturing like one of
- 35:36those little pregame just hang out like a bottle of vodka in
- 35:41the middle. And yes, you're like, you're
- 35:43going to a social or something like that and you're like on a
- 35:45blind date or whatever. Oh my gosh, it's bringing back a
- 35:48lot. No, literally.
- 35:50And everything's awkward and you're trying to get, you're
- 35:52getting set up. So again, like normal college
- 35:55situation, probably something that we've all experienced just
- 36:00being in a dorm with a few people, not really like a party,
- 36:04but maybe a kickback, maybe we'll say that.
- 36:07A kickback. So the party was Party in
- 36:11parentheses was hosted by a girl named Sarah.
- 36:16Following everything that happened, Sarah has declined to
- 36:21ever talk about anything relating to Maura.
- 36:26Think she's been, you know, sought out to be interviewed
- 36:30over the years because she was one of the last people to, like,
- 36:34be around her. So, you know, they're trying to
- 36:37piece together anything. Did this party have any
- 36:40significance? But Kate, who was Mara's friend
- 36:43and at the party, said nothing happened.
- 36:45Like, there wasn't any fight. There wasn't anything that
- 36:48happened. They were literally just hanging
- 36:49out. And she also said that Maura
- 36:54mentioned wanting to get her dad's car back to him.
- 36:57I think at this point, it was around 1:30 in the morning where
- 37:00she's saying she wants to return her dad's car to him.
- 37:04Her dad is staying in a hotel nearby because as I mentioned
- 37:08before, her actual car has a blown gasket.
- 37:12He doesn't want her driving it. So he's actually in town to go
- 37:16car shopping with her the next day.
- 37:18Because it was kind of at that point where it's like, let's not
- 37:20put money into this thing. Let's just get a new one.
- 37:23So her dad is in town. She tells Kate she wants to give
- 37:27her dad's car back. Two hours pass.
- 37:32We are now at technically Sunday, February 8th, 3:30 AM.
- 37:37So two hours after she had that conversation with Kate at 3:30,
- 37:42Maura crashed her dad's new car into a guardrail.
- 37:47And obviously she was borrowing his car because of the issues.
- 37:50And when she is found or, you know, the police arrive on
- 37:57scene, there's no evidence of a DUI.
- 38:00She's not even breathalyzed. Like, she's not drunk.
- 38:03And they did confirm that, like, she wasn't inebriated or
- 38:07anything. They said that they chalked it
- 38:10up to her sliding on some debris in the road and being like,
- 38:13distracted. Maura seemed to carry a lot of
- 38:16shame with this, like, she felt awful.
- 38:18And that she did this especially in her dad's car.
- 38:22And it ended up their insurance covered a lot of it.
- 38:26So her dad was like, you know what, It's not the biggest deal.
- 38:29Like, it's OK. But she was being really hard on
- 38:31herself about it. I do want to quick mention that
- 38:36one theory comes up and I don't know how much traction this has,
- 38:40but there is the boyfriend theory of course.
- 38:45Bill. On Media Pressures podcast, Bill
- 38:49is interviewed by Julie, her sister, and he said that he
- 38:54barely knew Sarah and Kate. However, in phone records it
- 38:59shows that Bill had called both Kate and Sarah like multiple
- 39:03times but he says that he like doesn't know why he was calling
- 39:07them. Little weird I don't know.
- 39:12Like multiple times over the course of like?
- 39:15Or is the night that Maura went like what?
- 39:18I'm confused. Not I don't, not the night that
- 39:20she went missing. I don't know if it was the night
- 39:22that they were all together. I'm honestly not sure about
- 39:25that. Might want to go check out that
- 39:27episode on Julie's podcast. I'm not entirely sure.
- 39:32But either way, like, if you have somebody you know, if
- 39:34you're calling them, you know them to some degree, right?
- 39:39So February 9th, Moore had emailed Bill.
- 39:43And this is again, the day after wrecking her dad's car.
- 39:47February 9th, she emailed him and basically told him she
- 39:51didn't want to talk to anybody and she would just talk to him
- 39:54later. Love you.
- 39:55Like, pretty simple, clearly kind of just wanting to be
- 39:59alone. Like, I get it.
- 40:00Like she's feeling a lot of shame for what happened.
- 40:06But just want to know, Bill has never been considered a suspect
- 40:09in this case. It's just one of those theories
- 40:11that gets thrown out there. And I'm sure there's so much
- 40:16more about that. I think that there is, like I've
- 40:17seen a lot of Reddit threads that go into, there's those
- 40:21people that believe his involvement.
- 40:23But I didn't want to go too far into all these theories because
- 40:27it's really snowballs quickly and it's just too much to.
- 40:30Cover some crazy theories on Reddit and or TikTok and
- 40:34whatever it may be. Yeah, it's a lot to almost like
- 40:41defame somebody. For a theory, you know I don't.
- 40:45Know like I get it this is this is what like we're doing it's
- 40:48speculation, it's talking about it, it's talking about theories,
- 40:50but it's also somebody's life so if he was never considered a
- 40:54suspect then. Yeah.
- 40:57It's good to know. So another theory that comes out
- 41:02of this is I'm going to call it like the police theory.
- 41:06I don't think I mentioned their names yet, but the officer,
- 41:10responding officer was Sergeant Cecil Smith.
- 41:15That's like, what is that alliteration?
- 41:19OK, so he is the responding officer the night of the crash,
- 41:23the second crash where Morig is missing.
- 41:27And another officer that I want to mention is Chief Williams.
- 41:31So the police chief of the time, I'm going to talk about a woman
- 41:36named Karen. I'm not going to include her
- 41:39last name, but there was another person that saw the crash site
- 41:44that night. Her name was Karen.
- 41:46She drove by and which according to location tagging like after
- 41:50the fact, after they looked into it, it showed that Karen had
- 41:53passed the crash after 911 had already been called by both
- 41:59those two previous calls that were made.
- 42:01So time wise, the police were to be on the way.
- 42:06She claimed that when she drove by, Mara's car was like nose to
- 42:11nose with a police SUV. And she noted that on the car
- 42:19it's or the SUV it said SUV 001. And I don't know how this works.
- 42:25I don't know if it's like something every police car has,
- 42:29but SUV 001 belonged to Chief Williams, but he wasn't working
- 42:35that night. He wasn't on duty, so he was not
- 42:38there. Sergeant Smith said that he was
- 42:43driving the chief's car that evening.
- 42:45However, earlier that evening, Smith had pulled over somebody
- 42:50else. I actually think he pulled over
- 42:51two other people for like ticketing and they were
- 42:55questioned about this and they said that he was driving a sedan
- 42:59like he wasn't in this SUV. So just weird, like weird stuff.
- 43:05So I think the question here is like, OK, were was that just
- 43:10like a first responder on site or was that car there before
- 43:15first responders arrived? Like super strange.
- 43:19It was also reported that SUV 001 and there is so much about
- 43:25this SUV 001 like on Reddit and everything.
- 43:29Like I think this is a theory that people are like really
- 43:32interested in. There was reports that that SUV
- 43:37was actually in a ditch that night and had to be like taken
- 43:42out of this ditch because a police officer, specifically the
- 43:47police chief, Chief Williams was driving impaired.
- 43:52He actually ends up later getting arrested for drunk
- 43:56driving by no other than Sergeant Cecil Smith.
- 44:01Interesting, right? Weird politics.
- 44:03Yeah. So, you know, the chief has
- 44:08history with driving impaired and I'm not sure if they're
- 44:13saying he drove the car into a ditch and I don't know again,
- 44:18like. Nose to nose.
- 44:19I don't know, I'm I'm just trying to go back to the scene
- 44:25of more like what could that even remotely mean?
- 44:29Like that he crashed into more and they're trying to cover it
- 44:32up. I don't think, I don't know if
- 44:34that's what they're saying. I think they are like believing
- 44:38that, you know, there's a possibility Sergeant Smith ended
- 44:41up like switching into that car. But that would be, I don't know,
- 44:45I can't go too far down this because it kind of makes you
- 44:49spiral a little bit. So I want to go back to the car.
- 44:55The car was eventually towed to this mechanic's place and it was
- 44:59like a really like, it wasn't like some big facility, like it
- 45:02was like a just random mechanics garage.
- 45:06And Fred or his dad and Bill, her boyfriend, go to the garage
- 45:11that the car was towed to. And this is the first time
- 45:14they're seeing the car in New Hampshire.
- 45:17I think. I just want to correct myself
- 45:19from earlier if I messed that up.
- 45:20But when they see the car, they immediately are like thinking
- 45:26what they were told by police doesn't entirely make sense with
- 45:29like what the damage to the car is.
- 45:33They're starting to think like, you know, was the crash like a
- 45:37decoy? Like it was just, you know, odd
- 45:41all around. And her dad actually went to
- 45:45start the car to see because I think obviously was having some
- 45:49issues. And he was like, OK, maybe she,
- 45:51like, couldn't start the car. Like that's why she maybe walked
- 45:54away. But he started the car and it
- 45:56started like, immediately, no issues.
- 45:59So he was thinking like, why wouldn't she have just drove
- 46:01away if she was fleeing the scene?
- 46:03Like, why leave the car there to leave any evidence of a crash,
- 46:08obviously knowing that it would somehow get back to you, right?
- 46:12Yeah, makes no sense. So another thing that was in the
- 46:15car was like handwritten at this time it makes sense like
- 46:18handwritten directions to Burlington, Vt.
- 46:22So Yep. Yeah, know it well.
- 46:25Yes, there was also an alcohol. There was also a receipt for
- 46:32alcohol that she had purchased. I think she had purchased it
- 46:35around like 3:30 PM that day or something.
- 46:38There was also video footage of her going to an ATM at one point
- 46:45and that clip is often reviewed. I know Julie has a TikTok that
- 46:51she was like kind of breaking down some of the things that she
- 46:53noticed. So again, check it out.
- 46:57But there were just a few different things in the car that
- 47:00weren't like super alarming because it's just a college kid,
- 47:04like obviously the alcohol, but they they noticed some like
- 47:09splatter. And I don't know if they think
- 47:10it was like a drink that spilled, like indicating she had
- 47:14been drinking and driving and like when she, you know,
- 47:17crashed, like spilled the drink. A lot of speculation.
- 47:22One of the other things that gets brought up a lot with this
- 47:26case is the phrase rag and tailpipe.
- 47:31Now what exactly? So I told you earlier how Fred
- 47:36told Maura like, don't drive the car.
- 47:39It's not really safe, but if you were to need to use it in a case
- 47:44of an emergency, he directed her to put a rag in the tailpipe to
- 47:52avoid, like, letting smoke billow out.
- 47:56And I think the thought here is, so there was like, a rag in the
- 48:01tailpipe when her car was found. And I think they were thinking
- 48:07she probably did that so police wouldn't come to try and hide
- 48:12the smoke from showing the crash or anything like that.
- 48:16I don't know. Another thing that's just like,
- 48:22you know, kind of a head scratcher.
- 48:24But that was the case. There was like a rag in there.
- 48:29So one thing that is noted by Moore's family is the police's
- 48:37lack of resources and their opinion that they were just
- 48:40like, weighing over their heads with this case.
- 48:43There was even a man named very basic name here, John Smith.
- 48:51No, yes, that's his real name. Real name?
- 48:54Yeah, not an alias here. Brothers with Cecil.
- 48:58No, no. But this guy, John Smith,
- 49:04actually left a message to the Murray's saying that he was a
- 49:09former law enforcement worker and a local to the area where
- 49:14the crash was and might be able to help.
- 49:17Like he genuinely just was like, you know, wanted to help the
- 49:21family, thought he could be of help since he knows the area and
- 49:25was in law enforcement and has some connections and everything
- 49:28like that. Obviously, these rumors start to
- 49:31swirl. People start talking about these
- 49:33different theories like it's happening in real time.
- 49:36I will be really upset if you tell me that they never found
- 49:39her or her body. So just going to put that out
- 49:43there. Continue.
- 49:46She's making a weird face right now, so I don't really know.
- 49:48It's because I'm. Like losing my, like, train of
- 49:52thought. Oh, OK.
- 49:52So no, no, it's OK. It's it's just me, John Smith.
- 49:57I just feel like his name is fake, but it's not.
- 50:01The New Hampshire State Police end up getting wind of John
- 50:06Smith and his reaching out to the family, wanting to help them
- 50:10with this. The New Hampshire State Police
- 50:13pay a visit to him at his work, wanting to know why he wants to
- 50:18help. And, you know, he kind of
- 50:20explains his reasoning. Just like I think I could be
- 50:24helpful and like, this family needs answers.
- 50:26And you just seem to be like a good guy that wanted to help
- 50:30out. And the police actually
- 50:33threatened to arrest him if he continued to try and help with
- 50:39the family and solving this case.
- 50:42Yeah, this is straight from John.
- 50:45John telling this that this happened with the police and
- 50:50they were super threatened by the whole situation.
- 50:56He found it to be super off putting.
- 50:58And you know, at first he did take the threat seriously.
- 51:02So he decided to like, stop looking into it because he was
- 51:07like, threatened by the police. What could they arrest him for?
- 51:11I have no idea, but he did end up coming to the realization
- 51:15that like, you know, I want to help this family.
- 51:18They deserve to have answers. So he said screw it and continue
- 51:22to help them anyways and he was never arrested because again,
- 51:25like what would they arrest? Him for I don't, I don't know,
- 51:27like obstruction of justice, but like the opposite because he's
- 51:31doing the opposite he's trying to help so I.
- 51:33Don't know. I know too that the family also
- 51:36was like pleading with the Police Department to involve the
- 51:40FBI and they just like, refused. Yeah, because police departments
- 51:43have to give approval for the FBI to come in.
- 51:46So God that would drive me insane.
- 51:50Yeah, and they wouldn't do it. So John Smith has actually been
- 51:56working alongside the family for about 20 years.
- 51:58Like taking us to present day. What a gym.
- 52:02So unfortunately, where we are today is we don't really have
- 52:09any clear answers. There are so many theories and I
- 52:13really didn't go in depth with any of them in particular
- 52:17because it's just a lot and because of the investment that
- 52:24her sister has in this still and is actively speaking on it.
- 52:27Like I think that's the best source to go to for all of this.
- 52:29Obviously, I know too, that Julie was actually on, I believe
- 52:34it was NBC being interviewed recently because she was talking
- 52:40about just what it's like to be a part of a family where there
- 52:46is a cold case and just how that feels and all the questions that
- 52:51get brought up and just the pain of it.
- 52:54And she was on talking about it because of the Nancy Guthrie
- 52:57case. They were interviewing her
- 52:59because of her familiarity with a situation like this.
- 53:03So I thought that that was really interesting too, and.
- 53:08What does Julie think? She just like, invested in all
- 53:13the theories, I'm guessing. Like I leave no stone unturned.
- 53:16Yeah, I haven't listened to like all her stuff about it.
- 53:19I do know that she also in her podcast is now like in covering
- 53:24other missing person cases and she.
- 53:27Sounds amazing. Yeah, and she definitely, like
- 53:31wants to keep it in front of everybody.
- 53:34And she's posting on TikTok a lot.
- 53:37So that brings us to where we are at today.
- 53:40Like I said, not really many answers.
- 53:43But Julie also mentioned recently in one of her podcasts
- 53:50that they do have API working with them now.
- 53:54And it sounds like they're getting a lot of tips, hopefully
- 53:56some answers coming from it. Well, OK, Mike, sorry not to
- 54:01jump in here. The search for her in general,
- 54:06like I'm assuming their primary search is going to be looking
- 54:09for a body that probably hypothermia froze to death.
- 54:13But The thing is you go back to the dogs and not and losing her
- 54:17scent and the fact the fact that most likely there would have
- 54:24been tracks of. All that totally weird, but like
- 54:30my question is how much land? I know so many people go missing
- 54:34and like their body is never found.
- 54:37There was another case where a kid was literally on the phone
- 54:40with his parents and he said oh shit he had gotten like lost and
- 54:44he had like oh shit and they never found his body.
- 54:47He was like in the woods he got lost or something.
- 54:49Oh my God. But I guess where I'm going with
- 54:52this is how much surface area did they have to cover?
- 54:56Like how big was the actual search?
- 54:59It always just amazes me, like how let's go with the theory
- 55:03that she just just the theory that she wandered away.
- 55:06OK, take away all the unknowns and mysteries of all of it.
- 55:10How far could she actually have gotten to where they can't at
- 55:15least establish a perimeter and somehow look for her and I the
- 55:18snow also is tough because then, you know, she could hurt.
- 55:21She could be hidden underneath the snow and all of that.
- 55:23But eventually, I mean, it's been how many years and there's
- 55:26still no remains were found or or people who disappear but then
- 55:32are alive like they pop up. They don't disappear for this
- 55:35long like they are inevitably found.
- 55:38It just I can't understand. I can understand the mystery of
- 55:44it all. I can't understand when we can't
- 55:46find a body of remains that always just like really like to
- 55:50not all of this mystery is so horrible.
- 55:54There's never closure. We've talked about this so many
- 55:58times already but like to not at least know where she is.
- 56:05Like where she is. I don't know, it just it just
- 56:08amazes me that we can't find her.
- 56:10I mean, it's like the same thing with Nancy Guthrie, which is why
- 56:13I think like Julie Murray talking about it probably just
- 56:17like for I don't know, I don't obviously can't speak for the
- 56:23family or any of them that's going through that.
- 56:25But like I have to think that's obviously such like a specific
- 56:29scenario to encounter in life and like her talking about it
- 56:34and just like relating to what that family is going through
- 56:36again, like they don't it hasn't even I don't know how many
- 56:39months it's been with that now, but like 20 plus years now of
- 56:43like not knowing. I can't imagine.
- 56:46And yeah, it just like even us just like talking about it.
- 56:50We're like keeps you up at night.
- 56:51But like, I just can't imagine. I can't remember if I talked
- 56:54about this, but I, I have a friend who has had like grief
- 57:01counseling training. Have we talked, have I talked
- 57:03about this? I feel like I tell everybody
- 57:05that I know, but I think it's really interesting when when
- 57:09somebody loses somebody in any way, shape or form, like and you
- 57:13go back to work or something like that, people think that,
- 57:15oh, let's just, it's the elephant in the room.
- 57:18Let's just not talk about it, right?
- 57:20And they just get back into work and everything is normal again.
- 57:23But my friend told me that what she learned in grief counseling
- 57:27is that more times than not, all they want to do is talk about
- 57:32them because they go through their days like, Oh my gosh,
- 57:36everybody is just moving on and I can't like there's a hole in
- 57:40my heart right now. And instead, like, just I think
- 57:44what what my friend taught me was that asking them to talk to
- 57:48you about this person. Tell, tell me about this person.
- 57:52I actually like put that into action with like one of my
- 57:55friends who then lost somebody as well.
- 57:58And it was one of the most like beautiful interactions because
- 58:03we just talked and laughed and shared memories of this person.
- 58:06Again, I had never met this person.
- 58:08So I'm just hearing kind of secondhand who this person was,
- 58:11but it was like so incredible to just hear about this person and
- 58:15I if it seemed like it was very cathartic for her too.
- 58:18So the friend that taught me all of this about grief counseling,
- 58:21I think if there's anything that I would share is simply
- 58:25sometimes all they want to do is talk about the person.
- 58:28So ask them. Keep them alive.
- 58:30Keep their memory alive, you know?
- 58:32That's really well said and I, I agree 100%.
- 58:35I feel like yeah, it's the only way for their memories to live
- 58:40on is through those who who knew them and miss them every day.
- 58:48So yeah, this is definitely a super interesting case.
- 58:54And like I said, there is a lot of content on it, a lot of
- 58:57threads, a lot of opinions, a lot of theories.
- 59:01I honestly don't know if I've, like, fully formed an opinion of
- 59:04my own of like, what I think because it's kind of all over
- 59:08the place. And again, yes, like, you think
- 59:10about how big the area is of how far she could have went, but
- 59:14because of the conditions and the cold, like, they had to
- 59:19think that, like, she wouldn't have made it that far.
- 59:23And after all these years, like, nothing.
- 59:25I don't know, Yeah. It's crazy.
- 59:28And then you think about like, I don't know, I could spiral
- 59:30because then you think about like the lodging and like
- 59:33looking and all that. Yes.
- 59:35So everything is a clue, truly. And like the accident the day
- 59:38before, like, I don't know. Yeah, I'm really looking forward
- 59:43to listening to Julie's podcast and hearing everything about
- 59:46that. Truly, what an incredible
- 59:48sister. It's funny, I'd heard the name.
- 59:51The name was very familiar to me.
- 59:53And when you said Brockton, I was like, this is ringing a
- 59:55bell. Yeah.
- 59:56But I really didn't know anything about this at all,
- 59:59which is, like, kind of incredible to me.
- 1:00:01Curious to see all those different theories, too.
- 1:00:04So. OK, I think that wraps up our
- 1:00:08episode. Next time we talk, it will be in
- 1:00:11June, June 2026. Crazy.
