Yahoo Messenger and not just AOL? News to me.
I would love to go through that computer.

Oh I know! I agree about the computer.

I had heard about her yahoo messenger before and u/R0sesAreColourful mentioned it recently. Those messages would be helpful if they could be captured.

Edit: trying to tag the right account

Hmm i wonder where this person heard that.

Let me tag Roses again - I finally got it right but not sure it would send a notification for my correction u/R0sesAreColourful

I definitely had heard about Yahoo messenger but can't seem to track a source. I did read that Yahoo messenger stores message history, so it would seem like a valuable thing to acquire.

Here is a question posed to Helena a few years ago (she didn't really answer just said police have the computer): Helena, I was wondering. Did Maura have a computer and, if so, who has it now? She could have been using Yahoo Messenger. If so, it keeps a history of all conversations.

YM had the option of not saving logs, although I seem to recall an update ~2000 when YM defaulted to saving in the background. I remember having to manually turn it off.

Even with the option turned off, there were files stored somewhere in C:, such as still images from cams, etc.

Sorry, I wasn’t around, didn’t see these until now. I’m not sure I remember exactly where but I will see if I can find it again. I’ve been reading so much stuff.. but I may have read it from Topix a while ago.

Super interesting about Yahoo messenger, first I’ve ever heard it mentioned. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

The article left me feeling just as sad as my very first viewing of the Disappeared episode when I first heard of Maura.
