Maura Murray Dane Cook Emails

(Ultimate source unknown)

Monday, December 15, 2003

Hey ladies! One more final and a paper. Did everyone get tons of snow? UMass sucks at plowing and my little Saturn got stuck. Now I’m screwed for tomorrow. Parking services can shove it. Anyway, I feel like I haven’t seen anyone in years but the stories are great. Carly, I hope you feel better and the same to Erin Jones. I had that in Florida on spring break. Anyway, Bill is coming up the 20th and we’re seeing a Duke game in NY, then heading to Hanson. Actually, Hanover to stay with Kathleen. Julie is coming home on the 23rd. Wahoo!!! And we plan on going to see Dane Cook. I hope everyone can come. Then off to Ohio. But when do you girls go back to school? My 8:00 a.m. final got moved to 6:30 p.m. which didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped because I slept all day. Ha! Screw it! I’m in a great mood. I hope you all have more motivation than I do

See you soon, Maura

Maybe I can lighten the email mood. UMass had crosswalks with pretty much railroad barriers because so many people have gotten hit/had accidents. I think there were seven last year. Not much to say about the rashes, though. Katie, what do crabs eat? Do they need a little aquarium? Ha! I’m jealous. Are you ready for this? Dane Cook is playing at UMass and we went to get tickets but it was sold out. I missed out AGAIN! But I did some research and he plays in Storrs, Connecticut February 12th not too far from UMass Worcester Providence. Tickets are ten bucks and go on sale Monday. So let me know if anyone’s interested. I imagine they will be hard to get as usual

Take care, girls Maura

Maura Murray's Post to Fred.net Guestbook

October 6, 1998

From: http://users.fred.net/kathy/at/guestbook.html

From: Laurie Murray [lmurray@gis.net](mailto:lmurray@gis.net)

Hi there,

My name is Maura Murray from Hanson MA and I've been going to

Jigger Johnson's campground, which is clearly the best, and hiking in

the White Mountains ever since I was too young to remember. I would

like to know if anyone out there has ever climbed Mt. Tripyramid (the

trail starts at Sabaday Falls) because I had quite an experience. I

also want to help out at the huts during the summer or manage trails

if there are any available jobs that someone knows about. Does anybody

have any bear or moose stories to tell because I would love to hear

them. Great website-bye

These emails make me sad, she obviously had so many future plans, and I really feel like she didn’t drive away willing to escape. For a few days sure, yet she seemed exicited for the future and I’m sure she would of come home, if whatever happened didn’t happen.

Same here. You really get the sense of the human being behind this whole online-mystery-phenomenon thing. A real person with a real family and real friends, not just a character in a narrative for people's entertainment or interest.

Perhaps I've missed this, but was Julie et al. able to avail the family of computer forensics to access Maura's computer to see whether she made use of any chat or instant messenger programs and whether any of those conversations were saved?

I'm not sure whether Maura was a Hotmail/msn user, but if I recall my own usage around that time, MSN Messenger was quite big and ICQ was also still being used, albeit a bit less than years passed and of course, MySpace was in its infancy having been launched in summer of 2003. All of my conversations were saved as well.

Maybe nothing and maybe I missed Julie's or Fred's comments RE same

OK here it is. So Julie says they used to communicate by Yahoo Messenger and wonders if those would hold any clues and notes they would like to look at the computer. This was 7 months ago - not sure if Scott addresses it in the AMA ..

[–]Reasonabledoubt96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I figured. I was just curious whether she was eventually able to access them and whether anything noteworthy came up. I haven't been able to listen to Scott's AMA in full so maybe I'll do that tonight

[–]finn141414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. She had Yahoo Messenger. I know Julie mentioned it in the lengthy newspaper article that came out about 7 months ago but I can’t remember exactly what was said except that (I think) the family hasn’t seen them.

I’ll post the link in a sec.
