Often thought this might be an instance of dissociative fugue initially.

kate1, your theory is certainly quite possible given all the stress Maura was under. i'm not overly familiar with the particulars of a fugue state, how long does it typically last? i'm thinking that even if she was under such a condition, something must have happened to her (died of exposure/fall or encountered someone dangerous) to prevent her from contacting her family eventually.

Fugue states are brief I think, hours to a few weeks. She certainly would be more vulnerable if she was experiencing any kind of amnesia. The stress is what me think of it.

For anyone who has been watching this program...
Again, I really like how they are hitting "everything" then sorting it out. The previous episode concerning the cadaver dogs compelled me to make a comment. The first thing I want to add is that I've heard dog handlers say the dogs are better at the beginning and become less effective as the search goes on. Now, while I've never worked with those types of dogs, I have experienced the "drug" dogs and cell phone dogs. It's all based on scent detection and there's no doubt the dogs smell things we never could. There could be a reliability difference between the different versions of detection dogs, I don't know because I am in no way an expert, trainer, or a handler. However, my experiences are that dogs are in no way 100% because I've watched many dogs miss many things - and not just once. I've also watched them find things so I'm not saying they aren't a valuable tool, they are, but if they don't find something my experience tells me it does not mean something isn't there.
