In any missing persons case, you will have occasional sightings. Everyone has a look-alike or two out there. But the odd thing about sightings of Maura Murray is that they are mostly concentrated in Quebec. She's allegedly been seen in Sherbrooke and Quebec City. And last week - on the anniversary of her disappearance - she may have been seen having a late lunch in Montreal.

It began with this email:
I am a flight attendant currently on business in Montreal. During lunch yesterday with a coworker at a lovely little place called Suzette's, I spotted a woman who looked unbelievably like Maura. I used to read your blog from time to time, enough to know that I am fairly certain this woman was Maura. The resemblance was so uncanny I was distracted the rest of the day. I could not stop staring at this woman and looking back, I wish I had struck up some sort of conversation with her.
In follow-up emails, the flight attendant said the woman she saw was slight of build, soft-spoken, speaking in English with a handsome young man who accompanied her to the restaurant. Significant, again, because this is a French-speaking region of Quebec. This happened at Chez Suzette around 2 p.m.
I contacted Chez Suzette and asked if they happened to have video. They did.
This is a still picture taken by a cell phone of the woman in the video. The quality is not so good because of the glare from the screen. The video is better, the man at Chez Suzette said. He, too, believes it really could be Maura. "But she looks older than the pictures, of course," he said.
I sent this info to the Cold Case Unit a couple days ago. Hopefully they act on it quickly because the man I spoke to at the the restaurant says the video gets overwritten by their system and he has no idea how long it will keep.
**UPDATE**
Apparently, the police now have the video. Please do not harass the nice people at Chez Suzette.
