On Sunday, August 15, 2021 at 4:43 p.m., I received the following message from the email fsm.sb@protonmail.com: Dear James, I’ve written to you a few times, you have never responded. I have told you I found Maura some years ago (no longer her name), after making sure it was her, we talked for a while,…
Some time ago, a man named Daniel Parkka was given access to Maura Murray’s car and the data from the Saturn’s computer. Parkka is an expert in accident reconstruction. His findings were presented to the Murray family in a Collision Report. A copy of that report that was given to Erinn Larkin leaked online last…
In light of the new strangeness regarding the possibility that Maura Murray called Billy Rausch using a calling card two days after she disappeared, I’m reviewing some long-held assumptions. From the very beginning, there was a rumor that the reason Maura Murray had to do something about her car so quickly – and a motive…
So, Billy Rausch has this story about going through airport security to fly to New Hampshire to join the search for his girlfriend, Maura Murray. A call came in he wasn’t able to answer. And when he later checked his voicemail he hears a “whimpering” sound that he believed was Maura. If this is true,…
Last fall, an unwitting podcast fan became the subject of harassment and doxxing by Murray family advocate Erinn Larkin and Eric Collins, a podcaster who is being investigated for online harassment. After this young woman commented favorably about the Maura Murray case on social media, Larkin came to believe that this woman was using a…

Seems like more information comes out every day about the troubling behavior of the Murray family advocates. Yesterday, I posted a breakdown of internal communications between the advocates who have represented Maura’s family at conventions and events, that showed how they created false tips in the case and stalked people online. During conversations between Erinn…
There may be no other true crime case that has a more toxic following than the disappearance of Maura Murray. For years, anonymous trolls have attacked journalists and others who have delved into this case. What we’ve learned in the past few months is that these trolls were working directly with the Murray family as…
Five years ago, my book about the disappearance of Maura Murray, True Crime Addict, was published. The book inspired a documentary for Oxygen, which the Murrays agreed to participate in on the condition that the producers try to “debunk” some of the theories brought out in the book, essentially making me a villain in the…
Last week, someone climbed the steps of my family’s rental house in the Outer Banks and left a threatening message addressed to me, as well as a brick and the bottom of a camera rig about ten feet from where my daughter was sleeping. The only person I could think of who would do this…
