## Resource

In today's episode, we're traveling back to 2004, when college student Maura Murray vanished from a quiet stretch of road in New Hampshire. Described as "the first crime mystery of the social media age," the case gained prominence due to extensive online amateur sleuthing and discussions on Facebook, which had launched just days earlier. It became a touchstone for how the internet shapes true crime narratives.
