Possible Sightings
There have been several reported sightings of Maura since her disappearance, but none have been confirmed. The family dismissed a claim in April 2004 by psychic Carla Baron that Maura had been murdered.
- Monday, February 9, 2004. 8:00 - 8:30 PM - A Swiftwater, New Hampshire local reportedly saw a young person moving quickly on foot eastbound on Route 112, about 4 to 5 miles (6 to 8 km) east of where Maura's vehicle was discovered. The young person was reported to have been wearing jeans, a dark coat, and a light-colored hood. The witness reported that the person, upon being seen, quickly ran down a side dirt road. There have been inconsistencies in multiple interviews.
- June 2005. A girl with blonde hair resembling Maura was seen at a church in Barton, Vermont. A witness said that the girl said her name was "Raykel" and took off quickly when the minister started a Father's Day sermon.
- June 2006. A girl resembling Maura was seen at a Cumberland Farms store in Hillsborough, New Hampshire with an older male companion. The girl was reportedly mouthing "help me." There are no security tapes of the incident available. The sighting was not reported until a few months later when the witness saw photos of Maura on a television news program.
