The car Murray crashed and then abandoned — or was forcefully abducted from.
Murray’s mysterious disappearance initially seemed clear-cut. Murray likely got into a drunk driving accident which could have then resulted in her death in the nearby woods. But the case grew more sinister as police continued to investigate it.
The last person to see Murray alive and well before Atwood was her father, Fred. The two had dined together the night before the black Saturn was found in the snow. Fred recalled how the two of them had a perfectly normal meal. He then lent Murray his car so that she could drive back to campus in time for a party.
Murray then crashed the car on her way home from the party at around 2:30 a.m. When Murray called her father to explain the incident, he assured her that she would need to report the crash to the DMV the next day, but that there was nothing to worry about.
When she finally got home that night, Fred recalled how his daughter seemed perfectly fine. But the next day, Murray disappeared.
