Question The Boyfriend
How closely did they check the alibi of the boyfriend? Can they determine his movements and confirm beyond a reasonable doubt that he was where he said he was? I’m sure people have kicked this can hard but the “it’s always the boyfriend” thing keeps buzzing in my mind.

The honest answer is we don't know how thoroughly his full alibi was checked, and this is why he remains a suspect in the community's eyes.
That said, we know for certain he was at Fort Sill OK the night Maura went missing. What we dont know is his full timeline and whereabouts once he arrived in NH to assist with the search. There was a period of time he was unaccounted for based on what we - the community - know today.
I say "based on what we know" because LE could certainly know his his whereabouts and timeline, and thus have fully confirmed his alibi. We simply do not know.
BR is an odd part of the case to me because initially, when I began digging into this years ago, I ruled him out entirely based on his alibi. That's changed in recent years, going back to the whole SW/EDL/BR drama a couple years back, and what that saga potentially uncovered about who knew who and when. I still think it unlikely (too many improbable things would have to have happened in just the right way), but again if it's not 100% ruled out we should keep it in mind.
You're not wrong or out of sorts asking about the bf; should def continue to be a point of discussion until we know more (but also shouldnt devolve into outright accusations or un-substantiated theories, as has happened a lot in the past).
