No evidence was found Wednesday in the search of the basement of a home near where a college student who disappeared in 2004 was last seen, officials said.Associate Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin said a team of detectives dug up part of the basement of a home on Route 112 in an attempt to find evidence in the search for Maura Murray, who was last seen in February 2004.>> Download the FREE WMUR appStrelzin said the area around the home was searched shortly after Murray was reported missing. He said the home recently had been a target of increased speculation by private citizens who thought there might be a body in the basement. >> Watch: Investigators say search of home yielded no evidenceGround-penetrating radar used by private citizens indicated that the ground under the basement had been disturbed, Strelzin said. Search dogs also indicated there might be something in the area, but Strelzin said law enforcement officials did not believe there was enough credible evidence to get a search warrant.>> Case file: Maura Murray disappearanceThe current homeowners allowed state police and FBI agents to search the basement, but Strelzin said they found no remains."What happened today is that a team of over a dozen agents and detectives went into that basement," Strelzin said. "They cut that area, removed the concrete and then searched several feet down and covered the area and beyond where that disturbed ground had been, and they located absolutely nothing. other than a small piece of what looks to be potentially pottery or maybe a piece of old piping."Murray, a 21-year-old University of Massachusetts-Amherst student, has not been seen since she was involved in a single-car crash on the night of Feb. 9, 2004.Members of Murray's family, who have been investigating her disappearance, watched with cautious optimism as the house was searched. "There's always a level of uncertainty with something like this," said Kurtis Murray, Maura Murray's brother. "I am optimistic that we may have finally found her. That’s the only thing I can pray for. But it's a waiting game at this point. It's tough, because answers are hard to come by. We can only be told so much, and that's been the story for 15 years."Maura Murray's father, Fred Murray, was openly disappointed after officials announced nothing was found. He said people in the area told him 14 years ago that a body was buried in the house. The new owners had let him in recently, and he said he strongly believed that a cadaver dog he brought in had hit on her remains."This one hurts, because I thought we finally had it. This one is worse than the other false alarms or dead ends," he said. "She wants to come home and be buried in her hometown. And she can't. She's buried up here. And I need help."Maura Murray's disappearance has sparked years of theories about what happened to her. The case has also been the subject of an Oxygen television series and a popular podcast. Previously, officials in the attorney general’s office have said that not all adult missing persons cases are concerning, but given the circumstances, Murray’s case is very concerning, and that's why there has been an ongoing criminal investigation.
