The Disappearance of Maura Murray

I like mysteries. I especially like to help people find missing loved ones. I think that all of these baseless "theories" are only for entertainment and can only murky up the water making it difficult to find the truth. As much as human beings like to have someone to blame in order to bring something to a close in their minds, this is most likely a case of someone who has died of exposure. I've seen too many case like this. Of course many will say "well the area was searched". I've seen a number of cases in which the area was searched and the body was still later found in or around the searched area and the person had died of exposure. I can't say for sure that is what happened, but it's the most likely scenario. She was already in trouble so she left the scene not wanting anything to do with the police. So, that answers the very first question, which is "why did she disappear from the scene of the accident?" Why ignore the most likely scenario? The second question is, well what happened after that? What happens in the dark, in the woods, in the cold?

One of the worst investigations I've ever watched. It's almost laughable.

What a completely sloppy an amateurish attempt at a documentary series. I don't know what coffee bar Oxygen dug up that overly tattooed infant Maggie Freleng, but they should have left her serving lattes instead of pretending to be an 'investigative journalist'. The series is frustratingly, poorly edited and organized leading the viewer down one theory after the next only to change direction. Watching Maggie Freleng and her companion talk is like watching two goldfish with dementia trying to find their way. Never really delving deeply into anything of value but simply reading headlines of theories only to switch direction after mentioning a perfunctory point.

Sloppy. Weak. And nothing more than a venue for some child who likes to hear their own voice. Avoid.

The camera is focused on the creator female and the people they interview, who are another people just like her, true crime podcast hosts. "Oh- Look at me-". "Oh- No- Look at us- We are doing this noble things. Focus on us. Not the victim. Not the people who is actually involved in the case. Just us. We are cool and noble-." Camera works says that and nothing else. Disturbing documentary. It should be horror genre. But they did work on this so I gave 4 stars.

I watched the full series. It was visually appealing, but not good from an investigative point of view. I wonder if they could find some real investigators or real investigative journalists to do such a show. Just a suggestion. I would recommend watching this all in one batch so you are not burdened with the cliffhangers, which were misleading anyhow.
