Maura Murray

Original post by Finn141414

We've been working on some updates to the evidence sub, specifically the pinned index where we link all documents. Thanks to all who have been part of this as well as to everyone who has had any role in finding, developing, and clarifying evidence in this case: so pretty much the entire community.

Just a quick additional note: this is the evidence sub. It's not a discussion sub although I personally am not going to stop anyone from discussing evidence in the case. For me the distinction is that the original post should be evidence (a report, document, photo, etc.), and then whatever follows - again - I personally am not going to delete as long as it's not otherwise doxing, name calling, annoying, rude, etc.. That said, function takes precedence so, for example, someone may post a photo of the Saturn but then we may replace it with a more comprehensive post with all information about the Saturn.


THIS POST IS FOR EVIDENCE NEEDS

- what needs to be added to the evidence sub (that we might already have)?

- what needs to be added (that someone needs to provide)?

- what do you need (that may or may not exist or be available)?

- what else?


If you have something, please send or post. You may also email to MauraMurrayEvidence@gmail.com. Thank you all .

Brilliant thank you! As part of Oxygen I’m specifically interested in Bogardus but as you said ... all of them.

Edit: I think trolled and dupefied will be editing the post as things are mentioned - thank you 🙌🏼

The Haverhill accident incident report.

Smith references this in his Oxygen interview. It reportedly mentions the rag in the tailpipe. According to Clint, it mentions when Smith collected the soda bottle. I assume someone tried to obtain this?

Comment by SwanSong1982
Fulk, Do we know whatever happened to the rag? I’m assuming LE didn’t keep it initially, it’s not on the list, so where is it?!?

Comment by fulkstop
I have been looking for two pieces of information that I swear I've heard or read, but forget where. The first is the soda bottle. I have a memory of reading an account that it was scooped up and tossed in the car while the car was being towed. The second is the rag. I swear I read somewhere or heard somewhere that there is no rag in evidence. Again, I can't remember where.

At this point, after following the case for so long, there are times when I simply forget where I have seen something. I have been looking for both of these quotes, and I haven't had any luck yet.

Just to be clear, either one of my recollections could be partially or completely inaccurate. I need to find the source, at which point I will edit this comment.

Comment by SwanSong1982
I will look, too! I know what you mean about reading something and then not being able to find it again.
I have read that there was so much debris along 112 where Maura’s car was found, incredible amount of beer bottles, cans, etc. The implication I’m making is where’s the proof that anything found outside of the car belonged to Maura?

I’ve been trying to find Weeper’s comment about LE finding evidence and then getting an official warrant to go back and re-find it, but like you am having no luck.

Comment by SwanSong1982
I’m coming up empty handed, but not finished.

If the bottle was scooped up while being towed, was it scooped up along with the broken door mirror by Lavoie? Was that mirror not considered significant? And if Cecil found the bottle after it was towed, or during the tow, didn’t he consider it evidence? Would he toss evidence in the car? That seems rather cavalier...

Comment by fulkstop
As I said, I cannot recall the source of Smith tossing the bottle in the car, and it is possible I am mistaken. But I have the distinct impression that I saw this somewhere. I just don't know where. There have been times where I will remember something, go look for the source, and I will be wrong about details of it. But I always find some basis for the memory. If it was not the bottle, could it have been the rag? Of course, if something was tossed in the car, that implies the car was open...I will have to keep looking. I shouldn't state something until I have verified the source (and I usually do not -- this is an exception).

good catch but I have never seen it and I checked with others who said the same.

Comment by finn141414
OK I wanted to mention that I’m going to try to compile a post about searches that have been done ... similar to what I posted in JWB’s post about helicopters but I’ll try to have more dates, details, related articles, whatever I can:

   

• NHSP searches
• NHLI searches
• Boots on the Ground
• other searches - whatever people want to share (I’ll check permission before posting anything previously shared with me)
