The new information on Vasi's hit-and-run is confounding like everything else in this mystery. But, to me, it supports my opinion that Maura could not have been responsible for the accident and that her car was not involved. Here's the breakdown as I see it:
Circumstantial Evidence Supporting Maura's Involvement:
- The old messageboard post where someone "close" to Maura said she hit Vasi and then fled to avoid prosecution, and the "confirmation" from a supposed member of the family.
- Maura's breakdown at work around the time of Vasi's accident.
- The damage to Maura's Saturn is consistent to the type of damage a car might sustain in the event of hitting a body.
- There was an extra headlight taillight bulb in Maura's car when it was found in Haverhill.
- It gives Maura motive to flee.
Circumstantial Evidence Suggesting Maura Was Not Involved:
- The paint chips found on Vasi do not seem to match Maura's car
- If her car was damaged before her trip to New Hampshire she took a BIG risk leaving when it was still light out. Would she really drive with a blown airbag, cracked windshield, and dented car all the way to NH without someone getting suspicious?
- The accident in Haverhill was not staged. No way.
- There was no broken glass on Maura's car. If we're talking about a busted headlight, it would have been plastic shards and not bits of glass.
- Maura had other motive to flee and had talked about starting a new life before (in conversation with Hoss Baghdadi).
