Her name was Molly Bish. A 16-year old lifeguard who, after being dropped off for her shift at Comins Pond in rural western Massachusetts, disappeared."In June 2003, following a month-long search of woods in which a hunter found scraps of a bathing suit similar to Molly’s, 26 of her bones were discovered. That remote mountainside was in my town, and five miles from her front door. Molly’s funeral was held Aug. 2, which would have been her 20th birthday.
… Her murder remains unsolved. The majority of any good news the community has been able to cheer lies in the family’s work. The Molly Bish Foundation established a decade ago at the Bish kitchen table has visited 1,500 events and handed out 165,000 child identification kits." — Obit-Mag.com The Ripples of Loss
