The Vanishing Point

The 5-Minute Window: Maura Murray’s Last Known Steps


Listen Later

A nursing student. A staged crash. A quiet New Hampshire road. And a five-minute window that swallowed someone whole.

On February 9th, 2004, 21-year-old Maura Murray vanished after crashing her car along Route 112 in Haverhill, New Hampshire.

In the time it took for a neighbor to call the police and officers to arrive, just five to seven minutes Maura disappeared without a trace. No footprints. No signs of a struggle. No confirmed sightings in the two decades since.

In this episode of Vanishing Point, we retrace Maura's final known steps, examine the tangled web of theories: foul play, voluntary disappearance, emotional crisis and ask: what really happened in that narrow window of time?

From eerie phone calls to internet obsession, this case remains one of the most haunting unsolved mysteries in American true crime history.

Because sometimes, five minutes is all it takes to become a ghost.
