Fred Murray
Fred lived in Weymouth when Maura was in high school and was very active in Maura’s career as a runner, and pushed her to apply to West Point. The weekend before Maura disappeared, he visited her at UMass. On the way he visited 8 different ATMs and withdrew $4,000 in cash. UPDATE: Julie Murray says that the ATM withdrawals took place over several days, not on the way. Fred and Julie’s off behavior caused the nonprofit, Bring Them Home, to withdraw a $75,000 reward for the case.

A runner like Maura, Julie graduated from West Point. She is still looking for her sister and asks for any info, even if it implicates family members.

Laurie Murray
Maura’s mother. She died of cancer on Maura’s birthday, in 2009.
Billy Rausch
Maura’s long-time boyfriend. He had graduated from West Point and was stationed at Fort Sill when she disappeared. When police arrived at Maura’s dorm they found her things packed and an email to Billy printed out and placed on top of the boxes. The email referenced a time Billy had cheated on her. In 2011, Bill lost his job at Ray Group International after a number of a women accused him of harassment and odd behavior, including an alleged assault. This was first reported by James Renner and has since been covered by the Washington City Paper. He is currently awaiting trial for attempted rape and could serve up to 20 years if convicted.

Sara worked with Maura at the art gallery on the UMass campus. The party Maura attended with Kate was in her dorm room. She has never spoken candidly about the case.
Tim Carpenter
Kathleen’s ex-husband. They were still married in 2004 and he helped with the search for Maura in New Hampshire. He says Fred is a dangerous man and did not appear invested in the search for his daughter when the cameras were not around.
