New 'Persons Of Interest' In Molly Bish Case
WARREN (WBZ) ―
It has been eight years since Warren teenager Molly Bish vanished from her lifeguard post at Comins Pond. While her remains were found three years later, nobody has ever been charged with her murder.
In the last year, investigators tell WBZ they have received about 100 new tips. According to the Worcester County District Attorney's office, there are several new "persons of interest" who investigators would now like to speak with, though they did not name those people.
Molly, a 16 year old lifeguard, disappeared on June 27, 2000. Her missing person's case turned into a murder investigation three years later, when her remains were found in the woods near the Warren-Palmer line.
Friday, the Bish family will mark the 8th anniversary of her disappearance. The ceremony will begin with a 6 p.m. prayer service at Comins Pond, followed by a 7 p.m. vigil on the Warren Town Common.
Molly's father, John Bish, is expected to be at this year's vigil. Just days before last year's service, he suffered a massive stroke and was hospitalized for three months.
Nobody was ever charged in Molly's disappearance or death, and a grand jury investigating the case was dismissed in December 2006 without handing up an indictment.
