Three Five women have come forward to ask police to investigate Bill Rausch and what role his actions may have played in the fate of Maura Murray. Here are their stories. Lawton, OK, 2004 Two weeks ago, I was contacted by a woman who lived in Lawton, Oklahoma, in 2004. She knew Bill a few…
I have had a source on deep background within West Point for some years, providing me with information about the history of Bill Rausch, Maura Murray, and others. I’ve decided to release Maura’s full transcript (but not the details of anyone’s judicial hearings) for a couple reasons. One, it shows again that Fred Murray and…
Kudos to Lance & Tim. This week’s episode of Missing Maura Murray features an interview with Maura’s brother, Kurt. Among other things, Kurt gives the best explanation for the rag in the tailpipe and goes a long way toward explaining Kathleen’s odd behavior. What a brave young man. Check it out.
I want to believe, like most of you, that Maura is alive and well but this seems a little too good to be true. Last night, someone claiming to be Maura Murray’s psychiatrist posted on Reddit, saying she was alive and well in Canada and left her life to escape her boyfriend. In the spirit…
Erinn Larkin is not a journalist – she’s a political finance officer for Artistotle International (though, when we met she introduced herself simply as “Bernie Sanders’ treasurer” though I can find not a single article identifying her as such).

We spoke at his house and he…

This is a bittersweet ending for Michelle McNamara, who died before he was caught. Congratulations to Billy Jensen and the crew who put the book together. Further info out of Reddit this morning: Suspect…
As I’m wrapping up the blog, I’m going to share some things I’ve held back over the years before I take it all down in May. Here’s a conversation Lt. Thrasher shared a couple months ago on Facebook. Thrasher was a Lt. at UMass when Maura went missing. He’s the one who first share info…
After some questions arose about Bill’s whereabouts in the days following Maura Murray’s disappearance (based on cell phone roaming charges), I heard from one of his West Point professors, Bob McDonald.
