Hey guys, we've had a lot of requests for the show that we did this week and I know a lot of people

are really interested in this case but before we start I wanted to quickly address why we haven't

done this particular mystery yet. It's my fault. Seriously, I have this kind of short list of

quote-unsolved unquote mysteries that I don't really want to do for whatever reason. We get requests

for them and we add them to the list but we kind of know we won't get to them. Mara Murray was

on that list almost since the inception of this show she's been on the list but we keep getting

requests for it and often they're from listeners who suggested many other really compelling mysteries.

Mara Murray has always kind of been a clear cut case in my mind. Mara Murray, 21, ran away from home

for reasons I have always admitted to be unknown. She no longer wanted to participate in her life

and just walked away from it. I lived and worked in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for a while and I

have a holiday at Amherst a number of times and I thought I understood Mara but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong.

Thinking Sideways. I don't understand.

It does not go cute. You never know. It's a big thing to say to the folks that are smiling.

Stories of things we simply don't know the answer to.

Hey, it's Thinking Sideways the podcast. Thanks for joining us. I'm Devon. I'm Joe. I'm Steve.

And we're gonna definitely not even close to solve a mystery tonight.

Yeah, we'll shed a little light on things. That's the best we'll do.

That's the best we're getting. You're totally right.

No, I think without a bunch of dogs, like, like, you know,

sniffing dogs and stuff like that. At a time machine.

At a time machine. Basically what we need to do is go out to where the disappearance took place

and dig everything up for miles around. I feel like that's already been done somewhere.
