I'm pretty sure the woman on the left is the late Helena Murray - for many years the leading spokesperson for the Murray family - and I think the man wearing the hat in the background is Chris King. I imagine the photo was taken at UMass-Amherst.
I'm not really sure what the connection to the Floyd trial was all about, but I think King did say that people in the Murray camp were quite happy with him, King, for some reason, and, I think, wanted to throw him a party - at the Dutch Treat?
King, of course, is well known for his tireless and detailed coverage of the Kenney-McKay double homicide in Franconia, May 2007, as well as his interest in the Floyd trial itself, held later about a separate incident.
As I was told, but don't myself know, King caught a ride from Massachusetts to Floyd's Franconia trial with a frequent Maura Murray/Topix poster, Snowy, a woman from Massachusetts.
I am puzzled by the apparent interest of the same people in both the Floyd case and the disappearance of Maura Murray.
***************
Not that it's related, but it should be noted that King's coverage of the Jason Vassell case shed a much needed light on the racism of law enforcement in the Amherst area. Considering the far-right, anti-immigrant tendencies of many of the Vasi investigators, I'm not totally surprised.
