00:00:25
don't gather around grab a chair grab a beer let's talk some today in the garage we are talking about
00:00:35
the famous case of Mara Murray a 21-year-old nursing student at the University of Massachusetts
00:00:43
Amherst UMass she disappeared on February 9th 2004 after a car accident on Route 112
00:00:54
near Woodsville New Hampshire mhm earlier that day she emailed her professor ERS and work supervisors
00:01:02
claiming that she needed a week off due to a family death a claim that later her
00:01:07
family would deny she packed up her belongings she withdrew $280 from ATM purchased some alcohol
00:01:17
drove North from campus without telling anyone her destination that evening her car crashed into a snowbank on a sharp
00:01:26
curve a passing bus driver stopped to offer help but she declined saying she called roadside assistance when police
00:01:35
arrived 7 to 10 minutes later Mara was gone there was some items found in her car including a AAA card driving
00:01:45
directions to Burlington Vermont personal effects and a book about mountain climbing her debit card credit
00:01:53
card cell phone and some alcohol were missing none of these items you know the the credit card and the
00:02:02
bank card were used after this moment theories range from her staging her own disappearance to abduction to
00:02:13
Foul Play but no evidence has confirmed any scenario her case remains unsolved but
00:02:21
her family continues to seek answers it's a case that some people say will never be solved but we might have a
00:02:30
break in the case now this information was shared with James rener I don't know who shared
00:02:37
it with him it was not something that he was even privy to before this moment now I
00:02:47
have my hunches of who shared it with him o but James Renner has a YouTube channel I think it's also a podcast as
00:02:55
well it's called True Crime this week and as we we all know anybody that knows about the mar case James rener wrote a
00:03:04
book about the case called True Crime addict controversial very because because some
00:03:11
people very much enjoyed the book and then other people uh do not like his I I don't want to say stance because that
00:03:19
seems like too firm of a word right but some people do not enjoy his involvement
00:03:26
in the case and some of his opinions on the case but that has been true for him with other cases and I'm sure that's
00:03:33
true with us as well on yeah some of the cases that we've covered I mean when you
00:03:37
cover as many cases as we have uh you're going to piss some people off it just I
00:03:42
mean it it it really is a thing but sometimes the pendulum shifts I mean when we first started talking about Deli
00:03:51
it was nothing but thanks for trying to get the word out thanks for helping thanks for sharing this image of bridge
00:03:59
guy let's catch this bastard and then sometimes you you you post a a video or post an update about the case and people
00:04:08
go can't you just leave this one alone haven't you talked about this one enough well guess what it's it's my
00:04:16
show I'll do whatever I want and we're kind of locked and loaded into this world and space now right we uh it it
00:04:26
has we're we're being tethered into do a lot of this stuff as well but the mara Murray case because I think it's
00:04:37
so polarized I think that there are a lot of people that are drawn to this case and then you you see like you will
00:04:44
with other cases John B is perfect example the Adon Sayed perfect example where people start to take sides yeah
00:04:55
I'm not saying that anybody's wrong with that I think I don't I don't ever say anybody
