That thing is, you know, when I was looking at doing the Mara Murray case, I was like, you know, first of all, I've unfortunately boxed myself into a point where I feel like if I don't have the most comprehensive video on a subject that exists, I have done something wrong. I cannot do that with Mara Murray. There is simply too much. I...

That said, what I did find very interesting looking into that case and then looking into the Brianna Maitland case is, first of all, they are oddly similar in a lot of ways. Mm-hmm. But as I remember, if you remember, when I started looking at it, I was like, okay, I'm going to do a video that's, is there a serial killer in Vermont? Or was there a serial killer in Vermont that they didn't catch?

And I kind of came to the conclusion pretty quickly that no, I don't think there was. These two women were from completely different places. One was from northern Vermont. One was from Massachusetts. I... What's the likelihood?

And the linchpin for Overacker, Greg Overacker, the PI who investigated Brianna Maitland's disappearance, the linchpin for him is that Brian Rooney, and he doesn't say it was Brian Rooney, but he says he heavily implies it was Brian Rooney. I don't think there's any doubt that he's talking about Brian Rooney.

So he implies that Brian Rooney was responsible for Mara Murray and Brianna Maitland, kind of like how David Politis implies that Bigfoot is responsible for missing for a lot.

Yes, but his argument's a hell of a lot more realistic. But yes, same kind of like, I'm not going to say it's Bigfoot. Not saying it was aliens. But there was another woman whose name is escaping me right now, the woman he actually got caught for, who... Maybe I'm reading too much into the fact that serial killers typically have a more consistent MO.

But Brian Rooney's situation... I struggle to see how he could have been responsible for both of them. Aside from the fact that Mara and Brianna disappeared within a month of each other, basically. I think people... And this is something that I even saw in the comments on the video. Mara definitely... Or not Mara. Brianna made some bad decisions.

But she didn't make stupid decisions, if that makes sense. Like, yes, doing crack is a stupid decision. But, aside from that one... the information is that she was a very intelligent young woman. She had her head on her shoulders. She was actively trying. I found this in a newspaper article after I finished the video. Uh, cause I mostly used the book for that one.

Um, she was actively trying to get off of drugs. She had picked up two jobs. Like she was making better and better decisions.
