New age progression photo of Maura Murray released on 20th anniversary of mysterious disappearance

A new age progression photo has been released of missing college student Maura Murray to try to prompt new leads on the 20th anniversary of her mysterious disappearance.

Murray, an avid runner and hiker, was a 21-year-old nursing student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst when she went missing on Feb. 9, 2004.

At about 7:30 p.m. that night, her black Saturn was involved in an apparent single-car crash on Route 112 in Haverhill, New Hampshire, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.

Soon after, someone saw and spoke to a woman -- believed to be Murray -- at the accident scene, officials said. But when police arrived, the woman wasn't there.

Murray never mentioned driving to New Hampshire, which was about two hours north from her college, the attorney general's office said.

Multiple searches have been conducted at and near the accident site over the last 20 years, the attorney general's office said.

The New Hampshire Cold Case Unit has issued this new age progression photo of what Murray might look like now to try to drum up new leads, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella announced Thursday.
