How you can help?!
WHAT HAPPENED?
Just before 10:00 a.m. on June 27th, 2000, Molly Ann Bish was dropped off by her mother to begin her eighth day of work as a lifeguard at Comins Pond in Warren, MA. Shortly thereafter, the first of the children and their parents began to arrive for swimming lessons. They noticed that Molly was not at her post and was nowhere to be found. Her water bottle, sandals, beach chair, towel, whistle, police radio, and first aid kit were left behind.
A search of the area did not reveal what may have happened to her.
​
Over the next three years, an exhaustive investigation into the disappearance of Molly took place. On June 9th, 2003, Molly's bathing suit and remains were found in a nearby wooded area. The person(s) who did this was never found and the investigation into the abduction and murder of Molly continues.
​
Her life guard Spirit lives on through the Molly Bish Foundation.

Familial searching (FS) as an additional search of a DNA profile in a law enforcement DNA database that is conducted after a routine search does not identify any profile matches.
§Potential to identify close biological relatives of the source of an unknown forensic profile obtained from crime scene evidence
§Essentially another tool for utilizing a DNA database to generate investigative leads and identify perpetrators of crime, and just as importantly, to help exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals
