Trust But Verify

Another really good episode of The Disappearance of Maura Murray aired this weekend. There was a bit of new info - an interview with a woman from UMass who was in clinicals with Maura, and a great interview with her sister, Kathleen.

During the course of these interviews, and chatter on social media, it was mentioned that the search on Maura's computers about the effects of drinking on pregnancy might be related to her studies at UMass, her room was never unpacked after break, and the credit card number she stole had been passed around by other people.

These opinions remain unproven. In fact, there were several more numbers found in Maura's dorm room and no evidence anyone else ever used these numbers. Maura's single dorm room was the same as it was the prior semester and she didn't need to pack up between breaks. If Maura's search was related to school work, there are no emails from her to fellow students sharing that info, as suggested, at least none that have been made public, and the lead detective believes Maura was searching for personal reasons.

I'm not saying my opinions about these facts are correct, either. But it's important to remember at this point that nothing has been ruled out.

I will say this - I would love to be proven wrong on any of these points, if only so that we have some definitive answers.
