Maura Murray - USA

About this episode

In this episode, we tell the story of the disappearance of Maura Murray, a case you’ve likely heard of before. 


When Maura, a 21 year old nursing student from Massachusetts, vanished after crashing her car on a remote section of Route 112 in Haverhill, New Hampshire, her story quickly spread across the internet. Her case coincided with the launch of Facebook and speculation around what happened to Maura that night, made her one of the first true crime sensations of the social media age. 


We spoke to Maura’s sister Julie, who walks us through the at times bizarre series of events that led her sister to Haverhill that night and shares her theories about what happened to her on that lonely stretch of road.
