Taken or a Runaway? Maura Murray

Welcome back to SIC!

Today we cover one of the most confusing missing persons cases from the early 2000's.

In February 2004, 21-year-old nursing student Maura Murray vanished after a car crash on a dark New Hampshire road. Within minutes, she was gone — leaving behind a locked car, spilled wine, and a trail of confusing leads. Was she running away, the victim of foul play, or caught in something stranger? In this episode, we unravel the final days of Maura’s life, the conflicting witness accounts, and the haunting theories that still leave more questions than answers.
