A few people wrote how if Murphy was a Valkyrie or Einherjar that Kringle would have brought her along. I’d caution against that belief. As Kringle said, Odin and Kringle are two legal entities with one body. We’ve never seen Gard, the ravens, or any of Odin’s trappings when he’s in his role as Kringle. If Murphy was in Odin’s employ that doesn’t mean he’d bring her along when traveling as Kringle.
I’m in the Murphy for Einherjar camp. It’d be my preferred ending for her. She was a great foil and police liaison for Harry when his work was primarily local. He’s grown beyond the regular interactions with mortal authorities in the main series. Not only has she lost her way as a character after leaving the force, sh’s also lost her original purpose to the plot. She can’t swim in the same water as Harry now. So either she becomes a damsel in distress (which I’d hate and she’d hate), she gets written out somehow (death, moving away to start up/manage a new Fellowship of St Giles deal as an offshoot of the Paranet maybe), or she gets beefed up. Of the beef up options I like Einherjar the best. She can die and that death would be incredibly meaningful to us and to Harry if done right. Then she can come back to rescue him at a key moment in the BAT.
