Dollopween 7: Missing Maura Murray
Podcast and Podcasters: Missing Maura Murray, Lance Reenstierna and Tim Pilleri
Episode 1: Introduction
At 7:35pm, on February 9th, 2004, New Hampshire State Police are called to scene of a single car accident on Rt. 112. It was the intersection of Wild Ammonoosuc Road and Bradley Hill Road where a U-Mass Amherst student named Maura Murray vanished after she apparently lost control of her vehicle after a sharp bend. When authorities arrived not ten minutes later, Maura was gone. There has been no credible sighting of her since.
Why I chose this one: This podcast is well and thoughtfully produced, a sober exploration of a quite eerie missing person case. There is something about this case that haunts people, almost against their will, it seems, so caveat emptor. And one of the most intriguing things about this case is how everyone seems oddly suspicious/uncooperative…another is how so many theories easily seem to fit the events, including a supernatural one…
