In this episode, Erinn plays Part 1 of a Q&A session with former law enforcement officer and private investigator, Guy Paradee. As a member of the New Hampshire League of Investigators (led by John Healy), Guy began looking into the case shortly after Maura’s disappearance. He’s been a police officer, a detective, a federal agent, and is an expert in crime scene and accident reconstruction. He answers questions that were proposed by members of the “The Disappearance of Maura Murray Discussion Group” on Facebook. The questions are asked by one of the administrators of the group, Sara, who compiled the questions and set up the meeting with Guy. Topics include the NHLI’s primary suspect, the results of cadaver dog searches in the area, the A-Frame house, and Guy’s assessment of the damage to the Saturn.

In this episode, Erinn and Ethan discuss the timeline and respond to some of the arguments heard on Episode 75 of the Missing Maura Murray podcast (made by Maggie and Art of “The Disappearance of Maura Murray” on the Oxygen Network). They discuss the sources that informed their timeline, which include witness statements, police dispatch logs, and media reports, and how they are unable to rule out the possibility that another officer was at the scene of Maura’s accident prior to Cecil Smith’s arrival.

In this episode, Erinn and Ethan continue their interview of Katharine, a prosecutor and Assistant Attorney General in the state of Missouri. The second half touches on several of the topics brought up in the Oxygen series ("The Disappearance of Maura Murray"), including but not limited to the timeline, the police’s purported failure to interview Maura’s sister Julie, the concept of “victim-blaming,” and the likelihood of a “conspiracy” to cover up Maura’s disappearance.     Erinn @grla_ontologist g.ontologist@gmail.com [the107degree.com](http://www.the107degree.com/) Ethan @ryebreadreturns ComicPOP! youtube.com/user/TVLittleHouse

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.

Erinn and Ethan discuss Episode 2 of the Oxygen series, “The Disappearance of Maura Murray.” Topics include the interview with Erin, a fellow nursing student that Maura had borrowed scrubs from before she disappeared; evidence that Maura was pregnant; the state of Maura’s dorm room; James Renner’s “lighthouse” theory described in Episode 2; and finally, Maura’s best friend Kate and her boyfriend Bill.

This episode discusses the civil suit that Fred Murray filed against the “state” of NH after the police refused to release any of the documents they had in their possession pertaining to Maura’s disappearance. 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. You can find the documents referenced in this video at the107degree.com.
