About a year ago, several people noticed a woman that looked like Maura Murray in a clip posted to YouTube. The video shows a woman and her daughter during a kind of prank that happened outside a preview screening for The Force Awakens in 2015. Here are some screen caps. Click here to see more.
I have not posted about this because I kept expecting it to be debunked, but it has not been and the rumor persists that this may be Maura with a child. Tracing back the origin of this clip takes you to Reddit, where it was originally posted by “KayPeaches09,” who then deleted their profile. The timing, coming as a grand jury began its investigation into Bill Rausch, was curious. As one Redditor notes:
If the footage
of the woman resembling Maura was shot at a preview for 2015’s Star
Wars: The Force Awakens, Maura (if living) would have been 33 at the
time and if pregnant around the time she went missing her child would
have been around 11. This does seem to match the ages of the woman and
child we see in the video.
to the timing of the release of this video…Bill’s name has been
coming up online as of late with the idea that he might have done harm
to Maura. If Maura were alive, perhaps she would feel bad about Bill’s
name being linked to her presumed demise (or someone who knows her feels
that way), and thus the video has been pointed out to us as “proof” of
Bill’s innocence.
The original video has since been deleted from YouTube.
Hopefully the woman in this video sees this post and comes forward to debunk this theory.
**UPDATE**
Someone found the video!
The woman appears at 1:20 in.
That's incredibly close.
James,
Kaypeaches09 has a Twitter and Instagram with the same handle. I spoke with her awhile ago and she posted to reddit and she is definitely not Maura.
This is a good comparison. Doesn’t have to be her daughter.
Maura could be nanny for someone.
I didn't get the idea that JR was insinuating Kaypeaches was Maura.
I took the video and looked at it frame by frame at 29.97fps. I enhanced the footage to try to show a little more detail as the exposure as depicted was robbing us of some slight details. Here's a decent side profile shot, which to play devil's advocate, doesn't remind me as much of maura as I thought it did initially. imgur.com/a/OeyRo7c
Not the highest resolution video. Too much distortion. Seems to look like her, but then again, so do dozens of other photos/videos of random people. Perhaps a detailed height analysis to rule this one out, or to get the woman in the video to speak out (if it's not Maura she might?)
Looks a lot more like her than that bizarre age-progressed version on the oxygen documentary.
it does look quite a bit like her….amnesia from a head injury in the wreck?
Just wanted to point out that Maura was born on May 4th…Star Wars Day…May the 4th be with you…
Est-il possible de dire à quelle date (jour, mois, année) et à quel endroit cette vidéo a été enregistrée? En 2015? Au Canada?

Thanks for sharing
Has anything new ever come out about this video? Has there ever been any luck tracking down this woman? I cannot over how much it looks like her! I wish the original Youtube video had not been deleted.
This Video was created @ the Hollywood Studios – Star Wars Launch Bay. Looking closer to the Video and the outlines of what is next to the black background – it is really easy to confirm this.
