The last image of Maura Murray, who disappeared in New Hampshire in 2004 after draining her bank account at an ATM. 

On the morning of the disappearance, Murray informed a nursing school faculty work supervisor via email that she would be away for a week due to a family death. Contrary to her message, her family confirmed that no such death had occurred.

Sometime after 7 pm, Murray crashed her car into a tree. Seemingly uninjured, she spoke to a local bus driver moments after the crash. The bus driver offered to call for help. She asked him not to call the police. 

The bus driver continued home and called the police. His call was received by the Sheriff's Department at 7:43 pm. 

Just minutes later, the police arrived at the scene. However, to their bewildered the female driver was nowhere to be seen. 

The police noted that her car had hit a tree on the driver's side of the vehicle, rendering it no longer drivable. 

Inside the car, the police officer found an empty beer bottle and a damaged box of wine on the rear seat. However, her debit card, credit cards, and cell phone were all missing. Non of which have been used in the years following her disappearance.

Initially, police treated Murray as a missing person based on the belief that she may have wanted to disappear voluntarily.

In 2019, investigators searched a house and dug up a basement in Haverhill. They had previously searched the property, but had not searched inside the home. 

The search was prompted by local dogs and a radar scan, which seemed to indicate that the ground had been moved.

The search did not bring any further clues as to what might have happened to Maura.

As of 2023, Maura Murray is still a missing person and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unresolved.
