Missing Maura Murray

The disappearance of Maura Murray is the first great mystery of the social media age. The UMass nursing student vanished the week Facebook launched, in February, 2004. After sending an email to professors claiming there was a family emergency, Murray drove north into the White Mountains where she got into a single-car accident, crashing into a snow bank at night along Rt. 112. In the few minutes between the accident and the arrival of police, she disappeared and has never been seen again.  

Was it an abduction? Did she wander into the woods to die? Or did she walk away from her life to start fresh somewhere new? 

Join author James Renner (True Crime Addict: How I Lost Myself in the Mysterous Disappearance of Maura Murray) and Missing Maura Murray podcast producers Lance Reenstierna and Tim Pilleri for a discussion and debate about what might have happened. Q&A to follow.
