New Podcast: The Final Hours with Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole
Today, I'm sharing an episode of The Final Hours, a new Crime House podcast hosted by Sarah Turney, and Kourtney Laymance. Listeners of Media Pressure know how much the framing of a story matters. The Final Hours applies that same scrutiny to disappearance cases by focusing on the hours before someone goes missing. Each episode examines the routines, timelines, and details that often get overlooked once a case enters the public narrative. Together, Kourtney and Sarah bring lived experience into every case, looking not only at what happened, but what led up to it. Listen to and Follow The Final Hours on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you listen. New episodes drop every Monday.

Episode 10: The Tides of Time – Chasing Leads in the Search for Maura Murray
In this episode, Media Pressure Podcast Season One host Julie Murray explores the relentless search for answers in her sister Maura Murray’s disappearance—one that continues two decades later. With time pressing forward, Maura’s father, Fred Murray, refuses to wait, leading the charge for answers as new leads emerge and old theories resurface. Julie introduces private investigator Lou Barry, a former Chief of Police, who breaks down the complex process of filtering truth from misinformation in Maura’s case. One lead involving a man with a violent past takes us deeper into the unknown, while another search effort in Massachusetts turns up empty. From an old computer hard drive to a review of early investigative reports, Julie sifts through the details that could shift the narrative. We also hear from "June," a rare firsthand witness who interacted with Maura just before she vanished, shedding a different light on those final days. Despite the heartbreak of unanswered questions, the Murrays press forward, determined to uncover the truth—because the tides may rise and fall, but the search for Maura will never stop. Anyone with information about Maura Murray's disappearance is asked to call The New Hampshire State Police Cold Case Unit at 603-223-3648.
