00:00:03,619 --> 00:00:06,240
Previously on The Disappearance of Maura
Murray.

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,580
February 9th, 2004.

3
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:17,560
Maura vanishes after crashing her car.

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,020
They had no tracks from the accident
scene into the woodlands. You don't have

5
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:23,240
any signs of foul play.

6
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:27,360
While looking into Maura's
disappearance, I pursued several

7
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:32,020
Running away, murder, a police
conspiracy.

8
00:00:35,490 --> 00:00:37,790
Fred said, well, she's all depressed.

9
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:41,150
Go out in the woods, you step off the
trail and you die.

10
00:00:42,650 --> 00:00:43,650
Hello.

11
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:46,830
I've explored what led Maura to take off
that day.

12
00:00:47,890 --> 00:00:51,010
I asked her if everything was okay and
it sounded like she was crying.

13
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:53,950
I think she was running from the men in
her life.

14
00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:58,330
I thought we were really close, but
everyone's got their secrets.

15
00:01:00,290 --> 00:01:02,230
The Murray family and others.

16
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:04,010
Blame law enforcement.

17
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:09,590
Their guy on the scene of a missing girl
that hasn't been seen in 13 years. What

18
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:10,590
did you do, mister?

19
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:12,230
Do you wish you had gone back?

20
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:16,610
Sometimes I think that I may have
disappeared too if I did.

21
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:22,110
But after unprecedented access to the
investigation, we didn't find a

22
00:01:22,110 --> 00:01:26,210
conspiracy. What, the local police did
something to Maura Murray?

23
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:28,070
What is that based on?

24
00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:31,350
Which leads Art and I to a final
conclusion.

25
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,840
The most likely scenario is that she got
into a car with somebody and was met

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,840
with foul play.

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,920
She was murdered.

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,660
But who did it?

29
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:42,300
And why?

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,980
I mean, more than likely, it's human
blood if it's up here in this room.

31
00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:49,560
Could this house hold the key?

32
00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:57,000
We have a house searched by canines, and
they were getting a hit in this closet.

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,100
Well, there could be something there.

34
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:27,540
Really? The phenol saline test is a
color -based test, so you'll be able to

35
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:29,980
a really bright pink color develop.

36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,140
If blood is present.

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,420
We're testing evidence from a house
where it's rumored Maura was murdered.

38
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:44,100
This is huge. This is all that is left
of the house.

39
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,820
Maura's father, Fred, acquired a bloody
knife from the A -frame house. A knife,

40
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:57,380
he was told, might have been used in
Maura's murder.

41
00:02:57,780 --> 00:02:59,680
The police accepted the knife.

42
00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:02,120
but won't tell us if they've tested it.

43
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,380
These wood chips are the next best
thing, because the blood is from the

44
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:08,600
alleged incident.

45
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:15,220
If the Q -tip turns pink, it means we
have a positive for blood, either animal

46
00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:16,420
or human.

47
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,720
And if it's human blood, the answer
could lead to solving Maura's

48
00:03:30,730 --> 00:03:35,550
I do see some faint color showing up,
but it's extremely faint.

49
00:03:36,570 --> 00:03:41,350
I'm actually encouraged to see even a
slight reaction.

50
00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:45,330
So what is the best thing we should do
right now with the wood chip?

51
00:03:45,550 --> 00:03:49,710
I think the best move forward is to go
ahead and send it to DNA.

52
00:03:52,730 --> 00:03:56,930
As we wait for a lab to tell us if it's
human blood on the chip and if the blood

53
00:03:56,930 --> 00:03:57,930
is Maura's,

54
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:04,400
I think about everything we've done, the
theories we've debunked, and the many

55
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,800
people we've spoken with.

56
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:13,200
To be honest, it feels in many ways like
we've hit a roadblock, or worse, that

57
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,320
we have nothing left.

58
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,959
And if we have nothing left, and nothing
left to lose, why not take a shot on

59
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,660
something controversial?

60
00:04:23,610 --> 00:04:27,970
Medium Allison Dubois has been helping
solve crimes for over 20 years.

61
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:32,930
She's worked with police departments in
Arizona as well as the Texas Rangers.

62
00:04:33,730 --> 00:04:37,750
She's even had a TV series made based on
her life experiences.

63
00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:39,490
It's called Medium.

64
00:04:41,170 --> 00:04:43,290
Art and I have invited her to New
Hampshire.

65
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:45,910
Hi. Hi.

66
00:04:46,210 --> 00:04:47,990
Maggie, nice to meet you. Hi, Allison.

67
00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:50,650
Hi, Allison. Art Roderick, good to meet
you. Thanks for coming in.

68
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,280
We haven't told Allison anything about
this case.

69
00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:59,220
She only knew she was flying into
Manchester, New Hampshire, and that the

70
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:01,460
was about a missing woman, nothing more.

71
00:05:02,780 --> 00:05:06,460
So your process is you know nothing
about this case at all. I know nothing

72
00:05:06,460 --> 00:05:09,920
this case. If I knew something about it,
I actually couldn't work it, because

73
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,780
otherwise it taints.

74
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,380
What I get when I go to a crime scene
and I really want to go off of nothing

75
00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:17,600
just go off of my impressions.

76
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:21,860
And then I convey that information to
you. And then you ask me either to take

77
00:05:21,860 --> 00:05:26,260
further or let's go down this road.
Let's look at that. And then I go there.

78
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,420
So I like to start with a wave of
nothing.

79
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:30,840
So it's pure.

80
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,700
What do you need from us? How do you
want to start?

81
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,380
Photograph. Sure. And name.

82
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:38,960
This is Maura Murray.

83
00:05:39,530 --> 00:05:44,170
And the month and day she was born? She
was born May 4th. Okay.

84
00:05:44,450 --> 00:05:48,530
I know that this process seems strange
to people. I have to put pencil to paper

85
00:05:48,530 --> 00:05:50,010
for it to, like, click with me.

86
00:05:50,630 --> 00:05:52,650
So, okay.

87
00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:06,330
One of the things about this young
woman, she wouldn't stay away

88
00:06:06,330 --> 00:06:07,330
willingly.

89
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:10,610
Like she wouldn't not come back.

90
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:14,410
Do you sense that she's still alive?

91
00:06:18,510 --> 00:06:24,290
How is this going to be aired for the
parents?

92
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:30,190
My sense is that she's not alive.

93
00:06:33,950 --> 00:06:37,230
Do you feel anything? Normally she
wouldn't like.

94
00:06:37,850 --> 00:06:42,330
get into a car with somebody that she
just met or that she didn't know that

95
00:06:42,330 --> 00:06:45,530
well. But you say vehicle. You said a
car.

96
00:06:45,790 --> 00:06:46,790
Tell me about it.

97
00:06:47,030 --> 00:06:52,050
I just kept seeing a car as being a part
of, like, maybe she took a ride from

98
00:06:52,050 --> 00:06:58,650
him. I did get the sense that someone
she knows is either involved or

99
00:06:58,650 --> 00:07:03,190
knows the person who she was last with.

100
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,620
Because her friends seem to be key to
me. It's almost like some of them know

101
00:07:08,620 --> 00:07:13,040
pieces of information that they haven't
shared because they don't think it's

102
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,660
important or they're not putting it
together.

103
00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:21,320
There are more than a couple people that
know what happened to her. If it was

104
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,980
one person that initially removed her,
there were other accomplices that helped

105
00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:28,780
cover up some of the elements of this
crime.

106
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:33,280
So that's what I would be looking at,
people that will connect you.

107
00:07:33,630 --> 00:07:34,630
To him.

108
00:07:35,710 --> 00:07:37,110
You said to him.

109
00:07:37,690 --> 00:07:43,110
Yeah, it almost feels like a guy who
would be unassuming, like he could smile

110
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:45,650
you and you'd trust him. Does she know
that person?

111
00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:53,810
It feels like she had seen him before or
met him before, but they weren't,

112
00:07:53,810 --> 00:07:56,170
like, close.

113
00:07:56,870 --> 00:08:01,950
I have to reemphasize that Allison told
us she knew nothing about this case.

114
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,580
prior to coming here today.

115
00:08:04,060 --> 00:08:07,860
So if she is actually connecting the
dots, it's kind of freaky.

116
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,040
A car, the idea that Maura got a ride
with someone she knew, it all links to

117
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,160
possibility of a tandem driver, but not
in the way we originally explored.

118
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:25,100
Where we once considered that a tandem
driver helped Maura escape her life,

119
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:29,340
version shows a person or people taking
her life.

120
00:08:30,380 --> 00:08:34,919
He has a predatory element to him, more
of like Ted Bundy.

121
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:38,659
He'd be somebody that you would assume
could never do that because they

122
00:08:38,659 --> 00:08:41,520
have to because they're charming, you
know.

123
00:08:41,740 --> 00:08:46,000
So you mentioned Ted Bundy. This sounds
like a serial killer.

124
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,140
She wouldn't have been the only victim
that he had.

125
00:08:50,580 --> 00:08:52,440
This isn't a one -time thing.

126
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,820
This idea of a serial killer makes me
think back to Breonna Maitland.

127
00:08:59,370 --> 00:09:02,670
a young woman who went missing around
the same time as Maura.

128
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:06,310
Do you know why she was in this area?
Can you feel why she was up here? I have

129
00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:07,990
to go to the place to pull that
information.

130
00:09:08,370 --> 00:09:12,730
Are we going to go to the last place she
was seen today as well?

131
00:09:13,170 --> 00:09:14,310
Absolutely. Let's go.

132
00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:22,630
This is a solvable case.

133
00:09:23,510 --> 00:09:25,490
This doesn't have to stay cold.

134
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:27,950
Sometimes it's a timing issue.

135
00:09:28,490 --> 00:09:31,190
Maybe it's time for this to come
together.

136
00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:34,150
The dots are going to be connected in
this case.

137
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:38,670
The

138
00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:45,970
dots

139
00:09:45,970 --> 00:09:48,450
are going to be connected in this case.
It's solvable.

140
00:09:48,810 --> 00:09:50,450
This is a solvable case.

141
00:09:50,950 --> 00:09:52,890
This doesn't have to stay cold.

142
00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:55,530
We're with medium Allison Dubois.

143
00:09:56,300 --> 00:09:59,680
Do you know why she was in this area?
Can you feel why? I have to go to the

144
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,040
place to pull that information.

145
00:10:02,740 --> 00:10:08,360
As we head to the crash site, Allison
claims she's receiving impressions from

146
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,500
Maura, who she says is no longer alive.

147
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:14,640
Allison is relaying these impressions to
us.

148
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:21,140
She was like her dad because she was
like a daddy's girl. They both, like,

149
00:10:21,140 --> 00:10:25,380
anybody the shirt off their back or
just, like, salt of the earth nice

150
00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:28,360
Anything about any other family members?

151
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,620
I don't know why the mom's being shown
as removed.

152
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:36,380
So she's just showing her mom as
removed.

153
00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:39,940
You mean removed like...

154
00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:44,040
Sometimes it's that they pass, or
sometimes it's that they're emotionally

155
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,080
disconnected and they're not feeling it.
It's like they're dead inside.

156
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:53,080
Allison says she didn't know a single
aspect of Maura's story before she flew

157
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,280
here to New Hampshire today.

158
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,880
So if she's telling the truth, there
would be no way for her to know that

159
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,380
Maura's mother died, unless she's either
guessing or channeling Maura as she

160
00:11:04,380 --> 00:11:05,380
claims.

161
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:20,100
I feel really sick here, and initially I
wanted to think that she got

162
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,360
in the car willingly, but it doesn't
feel willingly.

163
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:32,040
It doesn't feel amicable here, or I
wouldn't feel as sick as I feel right

164
00:11:32,140 --> 00:11:33,260
So that's important.

165
00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:38,740
I mean, you said she knew this
individual, possibly met him before.

166
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,780
Casually. But he turned on her.

167
00:11:41,450 --> 00:11:45,890
You know, it's like he could be charming
at first, but then turn on you. Is

168
00:11:45,890 --> 00:11:49,670
there a bar in town that would have been
there that they could have stopped at

169
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:52,770
or that they would have eaten at? We
questioned that. Yeah.

170
00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:55,390
Because that feels really important to
me.

171
00:11:57,390 --> 00:12:01,810
The idea that Maura stopped to meet up
with someone she knew prior to her

172
00:12:01,810 --> 00:12:05,750
accident is something Art and I have
been debating since we started this

173
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:06,750
investigation.

174
00:12:07,340 --> 00:12:12,500
It's one of the possible reasons we
think her journey took one hour longer

175
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:13,500
ours.

176
00:12:15,580 --> 00:12:18,500
It feels like he said he was taking her
somewhere that there were going to be

177
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:21,240
other people and they weren't there. And
then she started to get afraid where

178
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,860
he's like, no, no, no, just go a little
further, go a little further, you know.

179
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,280
And it just turned into something more,
something bad.

180
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,940
What's his intention to hurt her?

181
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,360
He does have a rapist energy to him. It
just feels like this was taken too far

182
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,060
because she fought him.

183
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,340
And also that she was going to tell the
people that she knew that were connected

184
00:12:43,340 --> 00:12:47,040
to him. And he didn't want that. So it
feels like it was something that may

185
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,340
been more date rapey gone wrong.

186
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:53,520
To me, the friend group's the key to
this.

187
00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:57,830
And the girls, like, it feels like there
were two female best friends or, like,

188
00:12:57,830 --> 00:13:01,770
two females that were really close to
her. And they didn't do anything wrong,

189
00:13:01,850 --> 00:13:05,990
but they do know that some of the males
around them are a little nefarious or

190
00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:07,890
able to keep secrets for each other.

191
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:13,030
Could the friends Allison is talking
about be Maura's friends from UMass?

192
00:13:13,570 --> 00:13:17,810
We know Maura went to a dorm party with
her close friend Kate and another

193
00:13:17,810 --> 00:13:20,570
girlfriend two nights before she left
town.

194
00:13:21,580 --> 00:13:25,040
Could friends from this party have
driven with Maura up to New Hampshire?

195
00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:28,340
And could something have gone wrong in
the process?

196
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,200
We need to revisit that night.

197
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,700
It feels like he had friends that helped
him get rid of whatever he needed to

198
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:37,700
get rid of.

199
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,620
But also, you're probably going to find
out that those three boys, two of them

200
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:44,380
may have been brothers, that would bring
additional vehicles.

201
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,820
And then that makes sense how she ended
up on a different road in a different

202
00:13:49,820 --> 00:13:54,900
car because they would have been
following her there or with one of the

203
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,600
the car with her and the other one's
following.

204
00:13:59,460 --> 00:14:02,140
Allison's mention of three males stands
out.

205
00:14:02,420 --> 00:14:05,440
Is she seeing three guys from the dorm
party at UMass?

206
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,860
Or is her vision three local men, which
lines up with a rumor people in town

207
00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:11,860
have told me about?

208
00:14:12,940 --> 00:14:19,080
There was a story about some young men
who worked at the ski area over in Loon

209
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:25,140
that lived and would have driven by that
site on the way to work that didn't

210
00:14:25,140 --> 00:14:26,300
show up for work that night.

211
00:14:27,820 --> 00:14:30,700
It's unclear which set of men Allison is
seeing.

212
00:14:31,260 --> 00:14:36,980
Either way, if Maura fell victim to foul
play by three men, I wonder if the

213
00:14:36,980 --> 00:14:39,580
medium has any idea where Maura might
be.

214
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,240
Without her body, Maura is still just a
missing person in the eyes of the law.

215
00:14:46,580 --> 00:14:51,000
She referenced a bridge being important,
so I don't know how many bridges they

216
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
have in this area.

217
00:14:52,540 --> 00:14:58,900
So it's what just feels like where the
evidence is, I'll say,

218
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,500
is just outside of where they were
looking. Like, it's not much further

219
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:05,500
where they were looking.

220
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,440
But you think that her body is nearby?

221
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Mm -hmm.

222
00:15:10,350 --> 00:15:14,730
It's going to be a street that's more of
a dead end where only locals go.

223
00:15:15,010 --> 00:15:18,350
And only locals go there to drink or to
get in trouble.

224
00:15:20,810 --> 00:15:23,250
In general, I'm skeptical about
psychics.

225
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:26,750
But I'm impressed with some of the
detail Allison provided.

226
00:15:27,930 --> 00:15:30,850
I mean, some of the stuff she said was
just flat out freaky.

227
00:15:31,170 --> 00:15:36,390
Yeah. I think talking to Kate, if ever
we can get her.

228
00:15:36,830 --> 00:15:41,730
I keep coming back to the thing that
clicked with me is the three. The three

229
00:15:41,730 --> 00:15:42,790
guys. Three guys.

230
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:49,370
Possibly two brothers that knew this
area that had a fight with her in the

231
00:15:49,370 --> 00:15:50,370
around here somewhere.

232
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:54,450
There's a bridge nearby. There's a dead
end road that he took her down.

233
00:15:54,750 --> 00:15:58,190
I mean, it's going to be hard to
pinpoint that, but those are pretty

234
00:15:58,190 --> 00:16:03,830
facts that if we ever get to a location
like that, we should contact her.

235
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:05,770
A location at a bridge.

236
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,860
Near the accident site, but just outside
the search zone. A dead end where

237
00:16:11,860 --> 00:16:12,860
locals go and drink.

238
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,040
This is what we need to find.

239
00:16:22,180 --> 00:16:28,800
Our meeting with medium Alison Dubois
was interesting.

240
00:16:29,420 --> 00:16:33,920
She made some strong correlations to a
few of the theories Art and I have been

241
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,900
tracking. Her friends seem to be key to
me. It's almost like some of them know

242
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:43,320
pieces of information that they haven't
shared because they don't think it's

243
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,900
important or they're not putting it
together.

244
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:50,480
She referenced a bridge being important,
so I don't know how many bridges they

245
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,480
have in this area.

246
00:16:52,420 --> 00:16:56,460
In the weeks since we met her, as the
snow in the North Country melts winter

247
00:16:56,460 --> 00:17:01,140
away, Art and I feel compelled to take a
deeper look at some of what Allison

248
00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:02,140
shared.

249
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:08,450
We've been talking to locals and
researching bridges that fit Allison's

250
00:17:08,450 --> 00:17:13,609
for where Maura's body or evidence of
her disappearance may have been dropped.

251
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:22,329
Meanwhile, I've called Maura's best
friend from UMass, Kate, countless

252
00:17:23,130 --> 00:17:25,530
She was with Maura at the dorm party.

253
00:17:25,730 --> 00:17:30,950
If anyone would know something, it's
her. But she never picks up.

254
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:35,820
I'm trying one last time at her house in
person.

255
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,520
Hi, Kate. This is Maggie Freeling
calling again. I am in the area where

256
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,260
live, so if you can call me back, I
would appreciate it. Thanks.

257
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:51,940
With nothing from Kate, I'll revisit the
potential drop sites.

258
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,080
Although they may be a long shot, it
feels like I should.

259
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,820
Art and I have narrowed the search to
three bridges.

260
00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:05,990
that fit within Allison's description,
at a dead end, by a bridge where kids

261
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:08,790
party, just outside the search zone.

262
00:18:10,050 --> 00:18:13,090
We've invited the medium back to the
region to check them out.

263
00:18:15,850 --> 00:18:19,050
So, Allison, could you tell us just a
little bit about your process? When we

264
00:18:19,050 --> 00:18:20,210
there, you know what you're going to do.

265
00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:24,990
Usually I'll at least get an impression
or a visual blast through my head of

266
00:18:24,990 --> 00:18:26,290
something that happened there.

267
00:18:27,390 --> 00:18:31,970
Usually a death will leave an indelible
mark, and even though it's been 13

268
00:18:31,970 --> 00:18:36,550
years, there'd be a trace of something,
so I'm hoping that this is the case

269
00:18:36,550 --> 00:18:37,550
here.

270
00:18:39,130 --> 00:18:42,130
Maura's crash occurred on Route 112 in
Woodsville.

271
00:18:42,890 --> 00:18:46,530
The official search for her extended in
a 12 -mile radius.

272
00:18:47,250 --> 00:18:52,590
Art and I have found three bridges just
beyond the search area, all along Route

273
00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:55,490
112, and all fitting Allison's criteria.

274
00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:07,790
A little bit of a creep factor here.

275
00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:11,370
Yeah, it's creepy, but it just doesn't
feel like murder, and I'm just not

276
00:19:11,370 --> 00:19:12,510
getting that impression here.

277
00:19:14,010 --> 00:19:15,010
Okay.

278
00:19:15,370 --> 00:19:16,490
We've got some other spots.

279
00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:24,650
No fire, no alcohol, no camping. Wow,
this is definitely a party spot. Yeah,

280
00:19:24,650 --> 00:19:25,710
this is a party spot.

281
00:19:31,030 --> 00:19:36,400
What I can say is, if I'm seeing the
bridge, I'm seeing it from her eyes.

282
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,280
So this is not where she was killed.

283
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:43,320
Okay. Because this is not what she would
have seen.

284
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,480
How far away was she from it?

285
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,220
Does it seem like it was close, like she
was under it?

286
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,820
Not under it. Far enough away that she
could see it in its entirety.

287
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:58,560
Is where she was killed close to where
her body might have been dumped?

288
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,400
Yes.

289
00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:02,860
Yes.

290
00:20:04,750 --> 00:20:06,710
Two bridges down, one to go.

291
00:20:07,810 --> 00:20:10,010
This last bridge is our most hopeful.

292
00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:13,730
It's closest to the craft site.

293
00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:20,510
Well, this is a dump site, for sure.

294
00:20:20,790 --> 00:20:21,790
I agree.

295
00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:23,850
It's definitely deeper here.

296
00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:28,550
Well, and that's more what I'm looking
for, where it's deep to where she

297
00:20:28,550 --> 00:20:31,790
wouldn't necessarily get caught up on
shallow rocks. There'd be a way to keep

298
00:20:31,790 --> 00:20:33,490
flowing downriver.

299
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,320
This is more like what I was seeing. The
difference, I guess, would be that the

300
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,840
top of the bridge didn't look so
rounded.

301
00:20:42,220 --> 00:20:44,980
So it was more of a straight angle as
opposed to arched.

302
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:48,160
More of a straight angle, the way I saw
it. Okay.

303
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,080
You know, from the places we've brought
you, I mean, what do you think?

304
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,100
I mean, I'm just not feeling anything.

305
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,240
Right.

306
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:02,240
Could Allison's impressions have been
beyond the drop sites we researched?

307
00:21:02,940 --> 00:21:03,940
Absolutely.

308
00:21:05,230 --> 00:21:09,170
There are hundreds of bridges branching
further out into the state.

309
00:21:10,030 --> 00:21:15,170
What's more, this idea that maybe three
men were somehow involved with Maura

310
00:21:15,170 --> 00:21:16,470
hasn't panned out.

311
00:21:17,790 --> 00:21:22,950
We haven't spoken to Kate or anyone who
was at that dorm party at UMass.

312
00:21:23,610 --> 00:21:29,050
And Art and I haven't been able to
identify the three men who we call

313
00:21:29,050 --> 00:21:30,009
Mountain Three.

314
00:21:30,010 --> 00:21:34,070
In fact, police have never officially
named them suspects.

315
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,260
Which means we're pretty much out of
leads.

316
00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:40,920
There is one thing hanging, though.

317
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:48,080
The coordinates that Tim and Lance told
me about when I first interviewed them.

318
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:53,440
So you do a map search, you find the
coordinates. It's White Mountains, it's

319
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,180
Mount Kerrigan. Good conditions there
and back. Without making any stops, it's

320
00:21:58,180 --> 00:22:01,000
like a seven and a half hour. Full day.
Like a full day hike.

321
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,440
Seven plus hours into the wilderness?

322
00:22:04,270 --> 00:22:09,070
Would someone really go through the
effort of taking Maura up there, dead or

323
00:22:09,070 --> 00:22:10,070
alive?

324
00:22:10,150 --> 00:22:16,130
It's a really creepy story why this
coordinates is a thing in this case.

325
00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:21,910
James Renner was emailed these
coordinates a few years ago, said stop

326
00:22:22,090 --> 00:22:27,130
and the sender was, it was like Ray
Ramay, but if you rearrange the letters,

327
00:22:27,130 --> 00:22:28,130
spells Maura Murray.

328
00:22:28,330 --> 00:22:31,390
Would it be possible for somebody to
bring a body up there?

329
00:22:31,610 --> 00:22:35,390
It's just something that we know is
probably a wild goose chase, but it's

330
00:22:35,390 --> 00:22:37,030
something that you really need to check
off the list.

331
00:22:38,090 --> 00:22:39,090
So they tried.

332
00:22:39,570 --> 00:22:43,750
Tim and Lance booked a room in nearby
Lincoln, New Hampshire, ready to make

333
00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:44,750
trek.

334
00:22:44,830 --> 00:22:47,050
And that's when the trouble started.

335
00:22:48,270 --> 00:22:49,850
We got tweeted a penny.

336
00:22:50,550 --> 00:22:53,930
The year of the penny was 1982, which is
Maura's birth year.

337
00:22:55,180 --> 00:22:58,880
The tweeter was like a skull and
crossbones logo.

338
00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:02,760
And the more we looked at it, the more
it started to come together. This was

339
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,060
day before we were going to say it.
Lincoln is on the penny, and the year on

340
00:23:07,060 --> 00:23:08,460
penny was Moore's birthday.

341
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,680
Which is creepy.

342
00:23:09,740 --> 00:23:13,960
Tim and Lance felt the tweet was
bizarre, but it wasn't cause for

343
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,480
Yet as they arrived in Lincoln, they
received more strange emails.

344
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,940
He's getting closer to threatening.

345
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,990
At one point he says to us, Tommy Conrad
was assassinated on his mother's front

346
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:30,310
lawn for not minding your own goddamn
business.

347
00:23:30,730 --> 00:23:36,010
Who was Tommy Conrad? Tommy Conrad is
someone who was shot on his mom's lawn

348
00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:39,110
2005. From the area? Yes, in Haverhill.

349
00:23:39,810 --> 00:23:41,010
It's unsolved still.

350
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,020
Did you guys track that email? Were you
able to track the email? I had a co

351
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:52,860
-worker who was a real clever IT guy,
and I took the emails to him, and he

352
00:23:52,860 --> 00:23:56,500
back to me, and he was like, whoever did
this knows what they're doing. It's

353
00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:59,640
buried. Buried. It's buried and made to
look like a bot.

354
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:06,140
The tweet, the threat, the mention of an
unsolved murder in Haverhill, the same

355
00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:11,240
town where Maura disappeared, all of it
put him and Lance on edge.

356
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,460
We were just like, no, this is not worth
it. Because if it's not a body that

357
00:24:16,460 --> 00:24:20,800
we're finding up there, it's probably a
trap, if there's anything. If there's

358
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,120
anything, it's probably a trap.

359
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:23,360
Sure.

360
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:27,720
The story of the coordinates would have
ended there.

361
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:33,860
But a few months went by, and the
podcasters got another bizarre email,

362
00:24:33,860 --> 00:24:35,980
time from someone entirely new.

363
00:24:37,340 --> 00:24:43,040
We were sent photographs from a hiker
who was... hiking up there alone and

364
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:49,880
found ribbons that said RIP Maura Murray
strung around

365
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:55,000
a tree. And we had a Skype call with
her, so she's legit. She seems just like

366
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,000
hiker.

367
00:24:56,740 --> 00:25:02,160
Whoever this person is who sent this
email did go up there. They're not just

368
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,880
sending some random coordinates. I mean,
they went to this location.

369
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:09,520
Yeah. If anyone was directly involved
with Maura's disappearance, does that

370
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,520
anything to do with the coordinates?

371
00:25:10,939 --> 00:25:14,140
there's only one way to find out. You
have to get there. There has to be a

372
00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:17,300
thorough search there, which I don't
believe has ever been done.

373
00:25:17,580 --> 00:25:21,240
There was just some random coordinates,
I think, maybe not so much, but we know

374
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,640
someone did go through the effort of
going up there, so what else could they

375
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,199
have done?

376
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,900
And I think that needs to be checked
out.

377
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:33,880
I've been focusing on this case for
close to six months, trying to tie leads

378
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,120
together and find out what ultimately
happened to Maura Murray.

379
00:25:37,740 --> 00:25:39,140
What if this person...

380
00:25:39,530 --> 00:25:45,370
who has been emailing Kim and Lance, is
the same person or people Allison saw

381
00:25:45,370 --> 00:25:46,770
when she channeled Maura.

382
00:25:47,710 --> 00:25:52,350
The possible connection reminds me I've
come too far to just leave this lead

383
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:53,350
hanging.

384
00:25:53,550 --> 00:25:58,770
Plus, we have the resources Kim, Lance,
and Renner never had.

385
00:26:00,490 --> 00:26:05,730
If anything happens to us, we'll have
cameras recording it all for the police

386
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:07,190
consult. All right, let's go.

387
00:26:12,460 --> 00:26:18,820
One week later, after hiring a local
mountaineering guide, it's time to make

388
00:26:18,820 --> 00:26:19,820
hike.

389
00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:26,280
But as we set out with the podcasters,
something bizarre happens.

390
00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:31,160
We received another email from the same
person.

391
00:26:31,420 --> 00:26:36,860
Really? It says, stop looking again at
the subject line. It says, since Renner

392
00:26:36,860 --> 00:26:41,160
didn't get it back in 2014, maybe
spelling it out will help. Good luck.

393
00:26:41,710 --> 00:26:43,170
And then he puts the coordinates again.

394
00:26:43,410 --> 00:26:44,830
Wow. That's bizarre.

395
00:26:45,230 --> 00:26:47,770
All I had to do was think about who knew
we were doing this.

396
00:26:47,970 --> 00:26:50,410
I didn't tell anybody. Tim didn't tell
anybody.

397
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:53,170
Hell, I didn't even tell my wife I was
doing this.

398
00:26:53,870 --> 00:26:57,850
I'm a little bit in shock over it. What
do you guys make of this? You changed

399
00:26:57,850 --> 00:26:59,550
your passwords and your emails.

400
00:26:59,790 --> 00:27:03,570
I mean, what do you... Is it someone
else? Like, is this a coincidence? Is

401
00:27:03,570 --> 00:27:06,670
someone... No way it can be a
coincidence, my God.

402
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,320
You changed your passwords in your
email. Is someone still in your email?

403
00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:24,680
As if there wasn't already enough
intrigue surrounding the coordinates,

404
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,440
Lance receive another mysterious email.

405
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:33,000
It comes on the very same day we're
hiking to the spot where we might find

406
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,160
to Maura's disappearance.

407
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:37,240
I didn't tell anybody. Tim didn't tell
anybody.

408
00:27:37,860 --> 00:27:40,380
Hell, I didn't even tell my wife I was
doing this.

409
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:42,860
This is definitely weird.

410
00:27:44,110 --> 00:27:48,690
It's obvious that either our email has
been hacked or we're being watched.

411
00:27:49,810 --> 00:27:55,030
It's exactly this kind of thing that
caused him and Lance to call off their

412
00:27:55,030 --> 00:27:56,030
previous search.

413
00:27:56,910 --> 00:27:59,010
What could this person be protecting?

414
00:27:59,530 --> 00:28:00,810
What is up here?

415
00:28:01,630 --> 00:28:03,170
I need to find out.

416
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:17,559
I'm Maggie.

417
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,540
Nice to meet you. Dustin Cormier is a
certified mountain rescue and trail

418
00:28:22,940 --> 00:28:24,600
He'll be our escort to the coordinates.

419
00:28:25,140 --> 00:28:31,080
We wanted to come here before. We
attempted it, but we got sufficiently

420
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,900
out. We didn't know if there was a trap
set for us. Yeah.

421
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,160
Well,

422
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:39,000
I hope there's no traps. Every time
someone tries to come here, it seems

423
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,240
this mysterious emailer returns.

424
00:28:41,660 --> 00:28:44,500
Huh. Like today. So the guy sent you the
same...

425
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:51,000
coordinates again today yeah it really
is creepy yeah so as far as what we're

426
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,520
looking for it could be anything it
could be an artifact could be i mean i

427
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,780
want to sound like paranoid but i just
keep our eyes peeled for anything along

428
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:04,400
the way okay if we do come across
anything don't touch it yeah right all

429
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,020
because we might have to make a phone
call and get gotcha law enforcement up

430
00:29:08,020 --> 00:29:12,620
here in case of some type of evidential
nature so all right as we prepare to set

431
00:29:12,620 --> 00:29:17,950
out Lance enters the coordinates into
Dustin's GPS mapping unit. This

432
00:29:17,950 --> 00:29:23,410
destination is an especially dense part
of the White Mountains, a virgin forest

433
00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:26,250
virtually untouched through the
centuries.

434
00:29:26,890 --> 00:29:31,210
Our target location is some 48 -mile
Tremoras crash site.

435
00:29:31,630 --> 00:29:36,650
It's on the backside of Mount Kerrigan's
peak, a nearly 15 -mile round -trip

436
00:29:36,650 --> 00:29:40,010
hike with 6 ,000 feet of elevation
change.

437
00:29:40,390 --> 00:29:42,090
All right, let's do it.

438
00:29:43,180 --> 00:29:45,720
And with that, we're off.

439
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:55,440
One of the emails that we got, the
second email, was a rhyme. It said,

440
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,020
year ago, I told you where. Look again,
she is still there.

441
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,320
Huh?

442
00:30:01,540 --> 00:30:06,700
So we've just been kind of analyzing the
process of bringing a body to these

443
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:07,700
coordinates.

444
00:30:08,460 --> 00:30:10,220
What's the trail like in the winter?

445
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:17,780
This would be, it'd just be like four
feet of deep layered snow.

446
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,120
Okay. Do people snowmobile up here?

447
00:30:21,460 --> 00:30:24,580
No, this is wilderness, so you can't
even bike.

448
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,940
Bringing a body up here is like a
challenge.

449
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,080
Could you bring packing, like a horse or
a mule up here?

450
00:30:31,460 --> 00:30:33,260
I've never seen it, but. Okay.

451
00:30:34,460 --> 00:30:38,120
I mean, you could do it. You could
snowshoe in. Should you put it on like a

452
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,400
and drag it? Yeah.

453
00:30:40,650 --> 00:30:42,230
If the person's still alive.

454
00:30:43,690 --> 00:30:47,150
Art just had a good point. If the
person's still alive, you're hiking in

455
00:30:47,150 --> 00:30:50,790
somebody. So she could have walked there
on her own and then gotten killed.

456
00:30:53,050 --> 00:30:55,170
Does anyone else feel like we're being
watched?

457
00:30:55,830 --> 00:30:56,830
Totally.

458
00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:58,930
It's just super creepy.

459
00:31:02,190 --> 00:31:05,450
We're right now at one hour and 17
minutes as we left.

460
00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:12,130
the beginning of the river road so we've
come 1 .7 miles let's do it so we're

461
00:31:12,130 --> 00:31:14,370
going up and over yeah okay cool

462
00:31:14,370 --> 00:31:29,310
all

463
00:31:29,310 --> 00:31:36,050
right this is the summit came up signal
ridge trail We're going to head down

464
00:31:36,050 --> 00:31:38,390
Desolation Trail, which is right there.
It's super steep.

465
00:31:38,850 --> 00:31:44,130
It's like 1 ,700 feet down to about
where our GPS coordinates are.

466
00:31:44,510 --> 00:31:48,850
A little ways into the woods once we get
there, but we're getting close.

467
00:31:49,150 --> 00:31:53,730
Okay. And there might be a chance of
the... If this is someone playing a sick

468
00:31:53,730 --> 00:31:57,370
joke, then we do have to be careful.
Watch our step out there.

469
00:32:19,050 --> 00:32:23,010
All right, guys, looks like we're
getting pretty close to where we leave

470
00:32:23,010 --> 00:32:24,010
trail.

471
00:32:24,170 --> 00:32:26,350
It's going to be pretty nasty in the
woods.

472
00:32:28,630 --> 00:32:33,550
After seven miles of trekking into the
wilderness, we're about to go off the

473
00:32:33,550 --> 00:32:39,610
trail into deeper woods with more
treacherous terrain to the exact

474
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:41,330
That's some pretty thick woods.

475
00:32:41,570 --> 00:32:45,170
So when we do go in there, what are we
looking for?

476
00:32:46,430 --> 00:32:47,430
Traps?

477
00:32:47,870 --> 00:32:49,410
Any type of human remains?

478
00:32:49,790 --> 00:32:54,530
Articles of clothes, jewelry, anything
out of place.

479
00:32:55,330 --> 00:32:59,930
I mean, who knows? But yeah, keep your
eyes peeled for anything that might harm

480
00:32:59,930 --> 00:33:00,909
you.

481
00:33:00,910 --> 00:33:03,670
Let's do it. I'll start it and you guys
just follow me.

482
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:07,350
It's dense.

483
00:33:07,850 --> 00:33:08,850
This is unreal.

484
00:33:09,890 --> 00:33:10,890
Holy crap.

485
00:33:11,650 --> 00:33:13,790
This is really one of the craziest days
of my life.

486
00:33:14,570 --> 00:33:15,529
You okay?

487
00:33:15,530 --> 00:33:17,020
Yeah. How far?

488
00:33:17,220 --> 00:33:18,300
Halfway. Halfway. Ow!

489
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,780
Looks like you cleared up a little bit
right there.

490
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,220
This is pretty much it.

491
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:31,060
So, I don't know. It's going to be hard
to find anything, but I think we just

492
00:33:31,060 --> 00:33:32,800
look and it's like a 30 -foot block.

493
00:33:33,740 --> 00:33:35,220
We've made it to the coordinates.

494
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:41,960
Our plan now is to search the immediate
area for any clues or anything out of

495
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:42,960
the ordinary.

496
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,100
What is that right there?

497
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:01,520
Where?

498
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:02,859
What'd you find?

499
00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:04,280
Something there. Hold on.

500
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:05,960
Right there.

501
00:34:06,300 --> 00:34:08,080
Here? Lance, you making the doubt?

502
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:09,300
Can you see it?

503
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,500
I think I see it.

504
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,259
Hold on.

505
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:14,260
Nah.

506
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,480
Nah. Here?

507
00:34:16,860 --> 00:34:17,860
Oh, my God.

508
00:34:19,260 --> 00:34:21,460
There's a bright green something down
there.

509
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,940
Nah, it's nothing. It's just a tree.

510
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:27,600
Find anything?

511
00:34:29,710 --> 00:34:34,489
No. No, there's nothing down here.
There's not even a real clearing.

512
00:34:35,010 --> 00:34:36,030
There's no evidence.

513
00:34:37,810 --> 00:34:38,810
No trap.

514
00:34:40,170 --> 00:34:41,170
No Maura.

515
00:34:46,670 --> 00:34:49,870
The coordinates were one of our last
roads to travel down.

516
00:34:53,230 --> 00:34:57,190
Although we feel like we've closed the
lid on a number of theories, pregnancy,

517
00:34:58,380 --> 00:35:03,420
police conspiracy, car sabotage, running
away.

518
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,060
We've come up empty -handed at
practically every turn.

519
00:35:09,820 --> 00:35:14,400
It's clear we've exhausted what we can
do without the information the police

520
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,240
hold dear and keep secret.

521
00:35:21,580 --> 00:35:23,460
There is one last thing, though.

522
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,210
The DNA results of the wood chips is
back from the lab.

523
00:35:29,050 --> 00:35:33,570
We're meeting with Dr. Lori Baker, an
anthropology professor at Baylor

524
00:35:33,570 --> 00:35:37,870
University who specializes in forensic
analysis of human remains.

525
00:35:39,370 --> 00:35:41,730
She'll interpret the results of the test
for us.

526
00:35:42,070 --> 00:35:44,570
Well, I have the DNA results.

527
00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:48,270
Do you want me to walk you through a
little bit about how this was done? Yes.

528
00:35:48,290 --> 00:35:53,710
Absolutely. So the DNA tests were done
by swabbing the blood samples, and it

529
00:35:53,710 --> 00:35:56,710
went through a series of trying to get
rid of the inhibitors that would have

530
00:35:56,710 --> 00:36:00,850
been found in the wood and so forth, and
we were able to get some interesting

531
00:36:00,850 --> 00:36:01,850
results.

532
00:36:02,190 --> 00:36:06,030
This is definitely blood that was on
these wood chips.

533
00:36:06,510 --> 00:36:08,270
Absolutely positive for blood.

534
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:12,250
Is it human or animal?

535
00:36:12,850 --> 00:36:18,060
Human. Wow, you have the DNA from
humans, and you actually have the DNA

536
00:36:18,060 --> 00:36:19,060
individuals.

537
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:25,040
Wow, I didn't think we were going to get
anything, actually.

538
00:36:25,420 --> 00:36:28,200
Did the police know that you tested the
sample?

539
00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:30,800
Because I think you're going to want to
share this with them.

540
00:36:31,380 --> 00:36:34,020
Why? Is one Maura?

541
00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:38,880
There is a possibility that this could
be Maura.

542
00:36:39,460 --> 00:36:40,460
Wow.

543
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:41,940
Would you like me to show you?

544
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,200
Yes.

545
00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:49,520
All right, so in the sample that was
taken, there were actually two

546
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:55,240
And one of those individuals happened to
be male. What we cannot tell is if the

547
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:56,940
other profile is a female.

548
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,760
We're not able to take these samples and
separate them out, so we're not able to

549
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,760
see which sample came from which
individual.

550
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:11,060
So what we would have to do is take
Mara's DNA and compare it to this

551
00:37:12,110 --> 00:37:17,690
So the first step would be to find out,
does her DNA match any of those numbers

552
00:37:17,690 --> 00:37:22,410
on that sheet? Right, and especially
this particular number where we have a

553
00:37:22,410 --> 00:37:23,450
profile. Okay.

554
00:37:23,810 --> 00:37:26,170
And if it doesn't, it's not.

555
00:37:26,430 --> 00:37:33,270
The state of New Hampshire has Maura's
DNA on file, so Art and I are going to

556
00:37:33,270 --> 00:37:35,130
share the results with them right away.

557
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,480
So Chuck West just called me, and I was
waiting for you to get here before I

558
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,040
called him back to find out what
information he's got.

559
00:37:47,340 --> 00:37:48,340
Let's call him.

560
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,440
Hey,

561
00:37:51,820 --> 00:37:53,280
Chuck, it's Art Roderick. How you doing?

562
00:37:54,740 --> 00:37:55,740
No problem.

563
00:37:56,900 --> 00:38:02,420
Chuck West is part of New Hampshire's
cold case unit and is one of the

564
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:04,140
heading up Maura Murray's case.

565
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,740
All right, Chuck. Thanks, buddy. I'll
talk to you soon.

566
00:38:09,260 --> 00:38:10,260
What did he say?

567
00:38:10,670 --> 00:38:11,670
Take a look.

568
00:38:16,110 --> 00:38:17,110
Still confused.

569
00:38:17,190 --> 00:38:19,670
Yeah, I think this is something the
whole family should hear.

570
00:38:20,410 --> 00:38:21,410
Let's get them together.

571
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:22,550
Yeah.

572
00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:38,750
Hi, Fred.

573
00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:55,220
Chuck West of New Hampshire's cold case
unit told us that since the sample of

574
00:38:55,220 --> 00:39:00,200
blood taken from the wood chips is so
degraded and the chain of custody so

575
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:05,140
unclear that it would be impossible for
them to identify if it's more as blood.

576
00:39:05,780 --> 00:39:08,220
It could literally be the blood of
almost anyone.

577
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,360
and so it would never be admissible in
court.

578
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,100
But Chuck did give us other information
that is encouraging.

579
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:24,840
So basically what has happened is since
we have started working on this, the

580
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,340
state police are looking into, or if you
want to say reopening the case. So

581
00:39:29,340 --> 00:39:31,520
they're going back and re -interviewing
everybody.

582
00:39:31,820 --> 00:39:34,100
They've established three task forces.

583
00:39:34,460 --> 00:39:38,990
They're going back to the very
beginning, looking at all the forensics,

584
00:39:38,990 --> 00:39:43,990
examining everything from day one on.
They've even gone getting a yellow

585
00:39:44,270 --> 00:39:49,590
It's an Interpol notice, and it blasted
out to 190 countries with all the

586
00:39:49,590 --> 00:39:55,210
information on Maura, her DNA, and
they're checking all their records in

587
00:39:55,210 --> 00:39:58,470
she did go across the Canadian border.

588
00:39:59,410 --> 00:40:02,990
Law enforcement's re -engagement in
Maura's case is promising.

589
00:40:03,610 --> 00:40:08,030
The state has even agreed to give us a
piece of evidence that they've never

590
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:09,490
before released publicly.

591
00:40:09,970 --> 00:40:11,390
The ATM footage.

592
00:40:13,330 --> 00:40:15,730
Maura's family has been fighting for
this.

593
00:40:17,290 --> 00:40:18,310
Thirteen years.

594
00:40:18,990 --> 00:40:20,190
I know.

595
00:40:20,830 --> 00:40:24,690
It's a series of shots taken every three
or four seconds.

596
00:40:25,170 --> 00:40:27,170
So it's not like an actual video.

597
00:40:28,510 --> 00:40:29,510
Right.

598
00:40:40,970 --> 00:40:41,970
That's Mara.

599
00:40:45,250 --> 00:40:47,290
Do you recognize that jacket, though?

600
00:40:49,050 --> 00:40:50,050
I know.

601
00:40:50,290 --> 00:40:53,950
Yeah, I don't either. I don't need to.
That's Mara. Oh, I know. That's Mara.

602
00:41:05,470 --> 00:41:08,870
I started this project wanting to find
justice for Maura.

603
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,940
One example of the 70 ,000 missing women
in the United States.

604
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:21,920
Yet while Art and I haven't learned what
ultimately happened to her, I have come

605
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,100
to realize a few things.

606
00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:29,540
So many people are quick to dismiss
these 70 ,000 missing women as runaways.

607
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:34,740
They are often considered overly
emotional, thought of as having no other

608
00:41:34,740 --> 00:41:38,140
handle their so -called bad day than to
leave it all behind.

609
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,720
But after almost a year of connecting
with people in Maura's life, I feel

610
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:46,680
confident that Maura didn't willingly
walk away.

611
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,700
There's nothing in her history that
hints that she would leave her family

612
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:52,700
forever.

613
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:58,680
Something bad happened to her, and it's
possible she's no longer alive.

614
00:42:00,340 --> 00:42:05,360
I hope I'm wrong, but my gut tells me
I'm not.

615
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:12,140
Maybe now, with the police digging back
in, they'll go over what Art and I found

616
00:42:12,140 --> 00:42:14,940
and compare it to information they keep
private.

617
00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:22,760
Or maybe someone will see this series
and finally reach out to law enforcement

618
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,340
with the tip they have been waiting for.

619
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,960
I hope our quest for answers will
produce results.

620
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,760
I hope our work gives the Murrays the
break they've been looking for for 13

621
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:36,760
years.

622
00:42:39,820 --> 00:42:44,440
If somebody comes forward, seeing this,
that would be what it takes. Right.

623
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,740
Somebody that nobody knows about. Right.

624
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,280
Somebody knows something.

625
00:42:49,580 --> 00:42:53,120
There's no doubt about it. And they've
been afraid to come out for their

626
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:58,000
personal safety, but now that this has
reached the level that it has, maybe

627
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,640
they'll be a little less reluctant to
remain in the shadows.

628
00:43:01,060 --> 00:43:04,820
I think this is all just beginning. I
think there's going to be a lot of

629
00:43:04,820 --> 00:43:07,640
information. I think you guys are going
to get a lot of answers.

630
00:43:08,190 --> 00:43:14,590
Well, it's a direct response to you
folks working on the case, and

631
00:43:14,590 --> 00:43:18,530
we'll be forever in your debt for it.

632
00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:22,450
Something good's going to happen, and I
believe it. And not just because I have

633
00:43:22,450 --> 00:43:26,190
to believe it, but I do believe it. This
is a break we've been looking for for

634
00:43:26,190 --> 00:43:27,190
13 years.

635
00:43:28,270 --> 00:43:31,670
Mara knows that we're pulling out all
the stops.

636
00:43:32,570 --> 00:43:33,570
Come on, kid.

637
00:43:35,570 --> 00:43:36,570
We'll find you.

638
00:43:49,130 --> 00:43:53,950
If you have any information on the
disappearance of Maura Murray, please

639
00:43:53,950 --> 00:43:55,990
New Hampshire's Cold Case Unit.
