- I believe that she was drunk. In fact, I think Maura may have been an alcoholic.
- She set out for the hills as a getaway (perhaps to commit suicide, but that’s not probable, I don’t believe)
- There is no such thing as a “nervous breakdown”. That is a misleading term not used in the mental health lexicon. One simply keeps trying until they can’t try anymore. Although the action taken may look sudden, the thinking is not.
- If I took one thing away from the Oxygen series, it was that her older sister knows exactly what was going on, and why Maura did what she did. She came off like someone running cover for somebody
- Impaired, she crashed her car. Remember, she’d crashed her dad’s car the day before (drunk as well.)
- Two car crashes, lots of drinking, boyfriend cheating on her, U Mass nursing being second choice after failing West Point (imagine the shame involved in that.)
- She got out, messed with stuff in the trunk, got her stuff, started walking down the road, and got picked up about 100 yards away.
- I think this may have been pretty impulsive. Sure, she did her nursing homework the night before she left, but that’s not improbable. It’s not like she’d been sitting around malingering for weeks. Stiff upper lip, do what’s expected of you until you just can’t do it anymore.
- What happened to her after she got picked up is a completely different issue. This is just how she got there. What happened once in that car may never be known.
- Remember, just because she wanted to get away for a while, or to disappear, or even to commit suicide, this does not preclude that some bad actor got her in his car. These are not mutually exclusive.
- Or, for all we know, some nice guy having his own life problems picked her up, they got to know each other and decided to light out for Canada together.
Remember, she is still just a missing person. People turn up 40 years after disappearing sometimes.

I agree with you, Banjoist. I believe she was an alcoholic and her older sister was aware of it. I think Maura’s intention was to escape for a week in the country and drink away her problems. She was not planning to run away forever, just a week. But a second car accident in just a few days AND while she was drinking changed the outcome for her.
Car windshield was smashed. Is it possible she had a concussion? She walked into woods to avoid being arrested for DUI and fell asleep from the alcohol. She died from hypothermia and a bad concussion. (Aren’t symptoms of s concussion similar to being drunk?)
Not sure if first officer on scene was driving the 001 Police SUV. He seemed nervous during the interview. Someone else might have been there first and first cop is lying to cover. When witness A drive by, why couldn’t she not see anyone from either car??
Where can I find the discrepancies in bus driver’s statements?
Were the male employees from the ski resort (who never showed up for their shift that night) ever questioned?
Why do police insist there’s no connection to the other missing female, Brianna?
Arr we 100% certain sleazy boyfriend Bill didn’t fly to Massachusetts that day and follow her?

Hello, I first became aware of Maura's case several years ago and became reinterested recently as officials opened a new search for her this month (July 2022). Maura has most often been portrayed as the picture of perfection by her family - straight-A student, star athlete - but I think there was a lot more going on under the surface. When I read that she was 5'7", 120 lbs at the time of her disappearance, I thought, "hmm, that's quite thin". I then looked at her pictures and for some reason thought to myself, "This girl had an eating disorder". I got chills when I later watched a brief video in which Maura's sister confirmed this. I also wondered what other secrets Maura may have been harboring.
To me, Maura's destination in her trip says that she was meeting someone, possibly someone who was driving southward from farther north. I also feel that this meeting may have been romantic in nature, despite the fact that Maura had a boyfriend. I also wonder if the romantic partner she was to meet may have been female, which is a big reason why she would have kept it so secret.
I agree with some of the other commentors here that Maura may have been drinking when she crashed the car in Haverhill, NH. For this reason, and because she wanted no reports as to her whereabouts, she fled the scene before police could arrive. In order to avoid being seen, I believe she would have avoided main roads and possibly fled down a nearby side/dirt road. However, had she made it very far, she eventually would have come to her senses and realized that she needed to call for help, but she never did. For this reason, I believe she met her demise not too far from the crash site by sustaining an accident and/or succumbing to the cold.
Creepy fact: I was looking on Google Maps at the Haverhill, NH area and found Rt. 112, where I knew Maura is said to have crashed. I wondered where along there she crashed, so I picked out a random location on 112 and did a street view of it, where I came upon a large red barn-like structure and an intersection with Old Peters Rd. I arrowed by Old Peters Rd then went back to it. I tried to arrow onto it, but Google Maps would not allow me since it was just a dirt road. But this road certainly peaked my interest - don't know why. The next day I thought to google Maura's actual crash site and eventually came upon a location by the address 70 Wild Ammonoosuc Rd in Woodsville. I then ran that through Google Maps and oddly enough it was pretty much the exact location I had randomly chosen myself the day before. Is this the area where she crashed??
Anyway, these have just been my personal thoughts on Maura Murray's case and nothing I've said was meant to be judgmental or presumptuous. For such a lovely young person like Maura to go missing so long ago is such a shame, and I hope someday soon her family can finally receive the closure they so desperately need and deserve.

It's comforting to think she's off somewhere living her best life, but unfortunately, I think the simplest answer is what happened. I think she was in an emotional state and had been drinking. Plus, at that age, peoples brains are still developing and they don't exactly reason through things very well. It was the middle of winter and getting dark and she wasn't dressed in very warm clothes when she got out of her car. With the alcohol in her bloodstream and lack of suitable clothes for the season, she was probably acting in a way that we can't rationally understand. Maybe she went off the road because she realized she needed to go to the bathroom, slipped and ended up in a place noone could see right away, passed away, and with time and weather and natural processes, there isn't much left of her and someone MIGHT find a bone or scrap of fabric or the sole of a shoe in some random place, moved by animals or some other natural process. Or maybe she did accept a ride from someone and something happened and she jumped out of the vehicle in an intoxicated and emotional state, and ended up out in nature, under dressed in the cold and dark and missstepped and fell somewhere, passed away, and noone has been her remains yet.

I watched a few videos and read on this case a lot and I strongly think she left to start a new life. Maura's sister has said "she wouldn't leave us to wonder" But then I think back to before she went missing...
She drained her bank account at an ATM, bought a bunch of liquor, and hit the road. So where was she going? What was her plan? I'd understand the point of not leaving the family to wonder if she was perfectly fine, driving somewhere for a little vacation or time away but not in this situation.
