In this episode, Media Pressure Podcast Season One host Julie Murray explores the relentless search for answers in her sister Maura Murray’s disappearance—one that continues two decades later. With time pressing forward, Maura’s father, Fred Murray, refuses to wait, leading the charge for answers as new leads emerge and old theories resurface.

Julie introduces private investigator Lou Barry, a former Chief of Police, who breaks down the complex process of filtering truth from misinformation in Maura’s case. One lead involving a man with a violent past takes us deeper into the unknown, while another search effort in Massachusetts turns up empty.

From an old computer hard drive to a review of early investigative reports, Julie sifts through the details that could shift the narrative. We also hear from "June," a rare firsthand witness who interacted with Maura just before she vanished, shedding a different light on those final days.

Despite the heartbreak of unanswered questions, the Murrays press forward, determined to uncover the truth—because the tides may rise and fall, but the search for Maura will never stop.

Anyone with information about Maura Murray's disappearance is asked to call The New Hampshire State Police Cold Case Unit at 603-223-3648. To learn more about Maura Murray or see the sources used for this episode, visit MissingMauraMurray.org.
