Today would have been Maureen's 35th birthday. :up:May we find justice for her soon.
Something that jumped out at me while watching episode 2 of The Killing Season: why was Maureen at Penn Station, if she was trying to catch a train back home to Connecticut? I'm from Connecticut and trains to there only leave from Grand Central, not Penn Station. Penn Station trains do go to Long Island, though... maybe Maureen was taking a train out to LI instead to meet someone (a guy she knew or a john)?
I may be mixing up dates/years, but weren't there a bunch of rail / line closures at Grand Central in the summer of 2007? If so, maybe she had to go through Penn. Or maybe she decided to take a bus back since she'd mentioned getting robbed (or burned) of all her money ...
I may be entirely wrong about this, though and in either case your observation is intriguing.

I never caught that, and you're right. There are no trains from Penn Station to CT. My family is from CT, I am from NY, and my cousins live on LI. I have to go to Penn Station to visit them. Penn Station holds LIRR, New Jersey Transit, and subways.
Grand Central has subways and Metro North, which goes into NY and CT.
Port Authority has subways and the bus terminal. I have used buses from here to go to Jersey and as far as Virginia.
However - because I live closer to Metro North - when I worked in NYC, I would take the 2 train (subway) from Penn Station one stop north to Times Square/42nd Street, then catch the S train (shuttle subway) over to Grand Central, where I could get on Metro North. So that might have been Maureen's plan.
I believe Maureen may hold the key to who LISK is. I truly believe it was someone Maureen knew. She went outside for a cigarette and past client or someone she knew was stalking her and ran into her outside of penn, made it look like a coincidence. He maybe offered to give her a ride to CT. I think it had to be someone she knew because she went willingly. Someone had to see her get into a car outside of Penn.
A poster explained in a upthread how to get to CT from Penn Station using Amtrak.JMO, She needed money to get home to her family in Ct. I think she may have tried one more trick...maybe she did come across someone she knew...but I believe her prime motivation was to get home, and she needed cash to do that.
MONDAY:
11:30 A.M. Sara leaves Maureen in the hotel room to go back to CT. Maureen says she is staying and will hold the room until Sara returns two days later on Wednesday. They had been up all night working and Maureen was "Finally Crashing."
12:30 P.M. Maureen calls Sara's phone, "barely an hour later." Sara , annoyed, does not answer, she just wants to sleep.
Later that night Time Unknown: Big Al calls Sara from NYC and tells her that Maureen called him and told him she was robbed of 5,000 by the guy with the dreads who had approached them the day before in front of the hotel. Al states that Maureen called him because she could not get a hold of Sara. The only call from Maureen to Sara was within an hour after Sara left, around 12:30 P.M. So did Maureen get robbed in the morning or shortly after noon?
Time Unknown: Missy hangs up with Al and calls Maureen leaving her a message. Maureen does not pick up.
11:30 P.M. Maureen calls Missy from Penn station asking for a ride. Missy states its too late.
A Moments Later[/B] Missy calls Will and asks him for a ride, Will had to work in the A.M. so no dice.
A Moment Later Maureen calls Missy back and tells her she will "take the next train' home and has enough money to do so.
Tuesday:
Maureen checks out of the Super 8 Hotel (According to hotel records).
Missy calls Maureen and gets no answer.
Wednesday: Will calls Maureen and her phone goes straight to voicemail this time. Will Calls Missy to tell her.
Thursday:
Missy and Will call the Norwich Police who do not take them seriously when they find out Maureen is an escort in "financial trouble."
Will and a friend travel to the Super 8 in Times Square and are told that Maureen checked out on Tuesday and not on Monday
Not sure of date Maureen's cell phone pings near Fire Island.
Steven Cicero, a friend of Ms. Raffo’s, said that he was interviewed by the authorities late last week and that they asked about a crack dealer who had been sleeping in the living room of her Ocean Avenue apartment, and about two men from Howard Beach. Mr. Cicero, who is from Ozone Park, Queens, said the investigators indicated that they had been to Queens over the last two weeks.
“They showed me pictures of two guys from Howard Beach, one scruffy guy and one with big ears,” Mr. Cicero said. “They said these guys are from your neck of the woods. They asked me if I knew Lenny’s Clam Bar in Howard Beach. I hate to say it, but it doesn’t sound like they really got anything right now.”
The owner and manager at Lenny’s Clam Bar said on Friday
But later, Overstreet presses her view again. “The connection between these four women is cocaine,” she says when we’re alone. “That wasn’t my sister’s drug of choice, but she had access to it. And if it was gonna make her money, she would do it. Shannan had a history of coke. Even though people won’t admit it in public, just do your research and you’ll see. So I think the killer likes to get high.”

Hi jess, I think you will like this post. Imho it's possible the LISK and AC4 cases are related. Here is my perspective on the whole scenario. In the December 23 2012 NY Times piece on the AC case titled "Many Leads but no Arrests" there is quote about two potential persons of interest:
In my opinion, this gives us two POI's who are not only from NY but connected to a clam bar in Queen's that's right there on the south shore. This location is in between Ocean Parkway to the east and East New York Brooklyn, where so many of the victims/pimps seem to be connected to. Mention of clamming should be a huge red flag in my opinion, as this has been one of the obvious suggestions for LISK's profession. Clamming and crack. Take a look at what Kim Overstreet says in Bob Kolker's New York Magazine article, who lived with her sister Amber and should have really good insight into her killer's identity.
Then go one more step and read this nypost article from April 8 2011:
[FONT=&]So yea they definitely could be connected!
