Today is the 20th anniversary of Maura Murray's disappearance. In July, I spoke with Julie Murray, Maura's sister and dedicated advocate for her sister and the Murray family. Think of Maura and the Murray family today.

Julie launched a podcast this month - Media Pressure - about Maura and her case.
It is recommended listening.

This is about Massachusetts and New England crime, regional history, about the people, places, and things that happen here.

Maura Murray is still missing. She was last seen on February 9, 2004 on a snowy back road in Haverhill, New Hampshire. Her story is a crime classic, a greatest hit in the gold catalog. I say that because of the nature of Maura’s case and the myths and mystery surrounding her disappearance, she has become like a character in a work of fiction. Her story has been “deep dived” and rehashed over and over again by the true crime coterie of content creators, podcasters, crime networks, reporters, show hosts, youtubers, tik tokies,  and those among this cabal who don’t bother to take any time to really provide much research to do her case justice. I believe we can use true crime for good. We can do better.

Julie Murray has been on the frontlines of  her sister's case, working to keep her story in the public eye. After 19 years, Maura is still missing. Never give up hope.
