Share and Follow


More than two decades after 21-year-old college student Maura Murray went missing, her family is hopeful for answers in a case that has baffled the nation since 2004.

Murray, a nursing student at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, disappeared Feb. 9 of that year after getting into a car accident in Woodsville, New Hampshire.

A witness saw Murray, described as “an overachiever that excelled both academically … and athletically” at MauraMurrayMissing.org, after the crash and said she appeared uninjured but “shaken up.”

Another passing local called 911 after seeing Murray’s black Saturn sedan in a ditch. But when police arrived, Murray was gone. Her family has been searching for answers ever since.

“We are continuing to work with our local, state and federal partners, including the FBI, to identify resources to try to advance this case,” Formella said in a statement at the time. “It is our hope that this 20th anniversary of Ms. Murray’s disappearance will bring renewed attention to the case that might ultimately lead to justice and closure for the Murray family.”

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit at 603-271-2663 or email ColdCaseUnit@dos.nh.gov.
