In this episode, Erinn, Ethan, and Scott discuss the nature and origin of some of the conspiracy theories in the case.

They also discuss the NH State Police and repeated violations of New Hampshire’s “Right-to-Know” (RSA 91-A) laws – and whether these violations suggest there is a cover-up that is currently on-going.

4: E4 Addendum: Words Matter Nov 07, 2017

This is a short addendum to the fourth episode and it addresses two points. The first pertains to the response I received from the NH State Police regarding James Renner’s claim that “the police think she was pregnant” on Episode 2 of "The Disappearance of Maura Murrray" series on Oxygen. The second addresses another question I reached out to law enforcement about, which is whether Renner’s claim that Maura was about to be cited for Reckless Operation before she disappeared is true. The short answer to both questions is “No.” These distinctions are very important. Over the years, the sum total of all these instances of little fibs, warped truths, and exaggerated claims (often based on rumors and/or questionable sources) has painted a picture that in no way resembles the truth. I felt that there was no harm in providing some clarification.

4: Out with the Old [Rumors]: Reviewing New Information from E2 of Oxygen's “The Disappearance of Maura Murray” Oct 13, 2017

3: Frederick J. Murray v. Special Investigation Unit of the Division of State Police et al. Sep 23, 2017

Erinn and Ethan are joined by an attorney and a public defender in Brooklyn, NY, who began her career as a public defender in New Hampshire. I felt that she was the perfect person to help provide context and guide us through some of the legalese in the transcripts and the affidavits provided by Nancy Smith, Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin, and Detective Todd Landry.
