This is a blast from the past. In 2018 I did a Q & A interview with John Smith who has been investigating the Disappearance of Maura Murray since day one.  Many things have changed with the case since the time of this interview. But many of those who had listened to it back in 2018, have asked me to revive the interview and put it in podcast form. So here it is. I hope you enjoy this oldie but goodie.

The inaugural episode you are about to hear is about the disappearance of Maura Murray. This is, without a doubt, the case which I have investigated and researched more than any other, hundreds of hours to say the least, and still counting.
