Missing Girls: AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRUE CRIME
AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRUE CRIME
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MAURA MURRAY
The case of Maura Murray’s disappearance is one that has left police and conspiracy theorists baffled for more than a decade. Her sudden disappearance is one that makes very little sense and the available information regarding who she is as a person and her motive behind her attempt to leave town prior to vanishing isn’t easy to wrap our brains around.
Maura has been missing since February 9, 2004. From the time of her disappearance, there have been no credible sightings of Maura. The last person to see her alive, a passing motorist, noticed her oddly calm demeanor following a car crash, but she was gone by the time the police arrived on the scene.
Her family is devastated that they haven’t gotten closure, but is also skeptical that she could still be alive. Laurie and Fred, Maura’s mother and father, have had nothing to add regarding their daughter’s disappearance, and have no idea what thought pushed her into taking some personal belongings, withdrawing over $200 in cash, and attempting to leave town under the guise of “grieving over a death in the family.”
To get an understanding of the case, it’s important to understand who Maura is, what she did and said in the days prior to her disappearance, and her strange behavior moments before vanishing into thin air.
BETHANY DECKER - Nothing about Bethany seemed out of the ordinary...Until she disappeared
JOYCE CHIANG - Joyce was an American attorney who worked for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. She had been missing for three months, and now, her badly decomposed body was being dragged from the Potomac River.
JODI HUISENTRUIT - Jodi Sue Huisentruit was a news anchor for KIMT, a station based in Mason City, Iowa. On June 27th, 1995, she called the station and told her co-worker that she was on her way to work after she overslept. It would be the last time anyone heard from her.
PATRICIA MEEHAN - The story of Patricia Meehan is a very strange and puzzling one. She seemingly disappeared into the night with little reason. The case has remained unsolved since 1989. With few witnesses, the full events are sketchy at best.
KELSIE SCHELLING - The disappearance of Kelsie Schelling is one of the biggest mysteries in Colorado. This young pregnant woman was last seen in February of 2013 and the case is still open to this day.
NATALIE HOLLOWAY - The vacationing teen disappeared in Aruba and has not been seen since.
JENNIFER KESSE - A beautiful Florida woman who disappeared in the parking lot of her apartment building.

Ongoing mysteries
There are several stories of missing young women in this volume, missing persons who have never been found. For the most part, there are no leads, no clues, no suspects. In cases where are solid suspects (e.g. Natalee Holloway), there is no body and insufficient evidence to prosecute.

Sad stories
Ms. Torrence, these cases have been very well researched and the writing is very readable. I would suggest this book to anyone. I do not like to say anything derogatory about the books I read but I have to say you need to have better proofreaders. I found loads of typos that shouldn't be there and it really detracts from your book.

Very Limited
Each story is limited in scope. Not much detail is given. All in all, not very informative or interesting. Perhaps it would have been better if the author concentrated on fewer stories. I'm glad this was free.

Nothing new.
Interesting book - I have seen information on a majority of these cases and didn't come across anything new. These are always heartbreaking and I guess I was hoping for a little more detail.

Interesting read
I like the idea of individual stories makes easy reading but also frustrating to not know what happened to these poor girl's.
Still an interesting and good read.

So bad
I can't even describe how badly written this is. It's on par with research papers written by lackluster high school students.

Excellent book
Revealed missing persons that I had never heard of. I am sorry for the families of these missing women. Peace.

Good mix of stories
Only reason, not given a 5, is lots of word, spelling & other errors. Some of these I heard of, others not.
