Lt John Scarinza: Out of the Loop?

From James Renner's blog, 08 January 2012

Almost eight years after Petrit Vasi was hit, Lt. John Scarinza - now retired, but the original New Hampshire State Police lead investigator on the Maura Murray case - still was not told why Maura wasn't arrested for drunk driving at the scene of the Hadley Corolla crash?

Isn't that what Scarinza is saying? That he, Scarinza, knew about the Corolla crash, that he had every reason to believe Maura could have been arrested for OUI but mysteriously wasn't, and, for some reason, NHSP was never told why?

Isn't that what Scarinza is really telling Renner here? That NHSP was kept in the dark by Hadley/UMass/Amherst police? That he knows someone intervened at the Corolla crash, but NHSP was never told why?

Scarinza is no rookie, and no dummy. He knows everything about talking to journalists. Has for years.

So, was withholding information like this from NHSP, the agency most responsible for finding Maura Murray, some kind of new technique used by Amherst police to investigate the Vasi hit-and-run? Just dump it in New Hampshire's lap and hope Maura magically returns?

How did a potential fugitive from Massachusetts - in one day! - turn into a missing person in New Hampshire?

How, exactly, did the Vasi investigation so quickly morph into yet another example of Missing White Woman Syndrome?
