    High in the Colorado Rockies sits a grand historic hotel with gorgeous mountain views, more than a century of stories…and apparently, a few guests who never checked out. 👻 This week on Passports After Dark, we’re heading to Estes Park, Colorado, to explore the history and hauntings of the legendary Stanley Hotel.

    Episode 3: The Missing Mile — The Disappearance of Maura Murray

    On a freezing February night in 2004, 21-year-old college student Maura Murray crashed her car along a quiet, winding road in New Hampshire. When help arrived just minutes later, Maura was gone. No confirmed sighting. No clear explanation. And more than two decades later, no definitive answer to one haunting question: What happened to Maura Murray? This week on Passports After Dark, we’re pouring our signature drink, The Missing Mile, and diving into one of the most puzzling missing-person cases in modern true-crime history. We’ll walk through the strange events leading up to Maura’s disappearance, the timeline of that night, the clues she left behind, and some of the theories that have kept people searching for answers for more than 20 years. Did Maura simply walk away from the crash? Did she accept a ride from someone? Was she planning to disappear—or did something happen to her on that dark New Hampshire road? Grab a drink, settle in, and come down the rabbit hole with us. Because some journeys have a destination…and some simply disappear into the dark. 🖤 New episodes of Passports After Dark every Monday.
