Going forward, this blog will serve as an archive of clues in the case and a record of the span of time I spent looking for Maura Murray. I began the search in 2010, when I believed Maura may have been the victim of a homicide or kidnapping. Over the years, I have become convinced that she had a plan to leave and has remained hidden in order to protect a child. As such, I am no longer actively searching for Maura Murray - in fact, I hope she remains hidden.
Of course, I cannot be 100% sure. Not in a world of Ariel Castros. So the blog remains for other people to parse through the evidence. It will remain as an archive until Maura is found safe or until there is a major break in the case.
I have disabled comments because I am focusing my time on other projects and can't responsibly keep up with deleting the insults and threats that come through.
For those new to the mystery, please spend some time clicking through the documents section for reliable information.
My book on the case is available here in print, ebook, and as an audiobook.
There is an excellent podcast about the case here.
Thank you, constant readers - especially those silent types who came back day after day just out of curiosity. Thanks for your help. In our best moments, we showed what good social media can do for unresolved cases.
Best,
James Renner
