In this bonus episode, Erinn speaks to Bill Rausch, who was Maura Murray’s boyfriend and stationed at an Army base in Fort Sill, Oklahoma when she disappeared in 2004. The interview was recorded this past January, just after Julie Murray’s interview with the Captain from True Crime Garage (https://truecrimegarage.com/blogs/true-crime-garage/posts/maura-murray-julie-murray-interview) (Episodes 293 and 294).  Bill shares his thoughts about the interview as well as what his experience was like to find out Maura was missing.  

 

Additionally, this past Monday May 4th, on what would have been Maura Murray's 38th birthday, the Murray family launched a new website: mauramurraymissing.org.  The site serves as a tribute to Maura with photos and quotes from the people that knew her best. It is also a resource for anyone hoping to learn more about the case or to pass along tips to the Murray family

In this episode, Erinn and Sara talk to Tad DiBiase - a former Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia that became known as “The No Body Guy” after prosecuting DC’s second “no body” homicide case in 2006, and going on to write No Body Homicide Cases: A Practical Guide to Investigating, Prosecuting and Winning Cases When the Victim is Missing. (https://www.amazon.com/No-Body-Homicide-Cases-Investigating-Prosecuting/dp/1482260069) He currently teaches on the topic and consults with law enforcement agencies on best practices for investigating and prosecuting “no body” cases. He’s been featured on a number of podcasts including Payne Lindsey’s, "Up and Vanished."

 

A special thanks to Sara for setting up the interview with Tad and for all the work she has done (and continues to do) behind the scenes to help find Maura. Thanks to Scott as well for all of his help and for setting up the audio for the interview.

 

And of course, thanks to Tad for taking the time to answer our questions and sharing his thoughts about Maura’s case. Below are the links to Tad’s website, social media, and his book, which is available for rent or purchase through Amazon.

In this episode, Erinn, Ethan, and Scott discuss the nature and origin of some of the conspiracy theories in the case. They highlight what is perhaps the most prominent (and enduring) conspiracy theory, which is that local law enforcement in New Hampshire may have had some involvement in the disappearance of Maura Murray. They also discuss the NH State Police and repeated violations of New Hampshire’s “Right-to-Know” (RSA 91-A) laws – and whether these violations suggest there is a cover-up that is currently on-going.
