Paging Maura Murray...

I was contacted the other day by a woman who went to UMass with Maura Murray, who I suspect may have some information about the case. Here's part of the first message:

If you had some sort of proof Maura was alive and well, and needed a life "do over" would you expose her?

We've been going back-and-forth a bit on the particulars, but the simple answer is, no, I would not expose Maura or her whereabouts.

So, Maura, if you're out there and following along, let me again say for the record, if you have reason to hide, I have no interest in exposing your location or current name. I think what everyone wants here is to know you're alive and well. Until then, this disappearance looks like a crime, or even a possible murder.

But how do you go about proving someone is alive and well?

I suppose one could email me a photograph with a current newspaper, some sort of explanation for running away and staying hidden, and details only Maura would know.


Of course, Maura's safety is paramount and should be. If we knew she was alive and well, there really would be no more reason for this blog, right?
