Places to contact with any information regarding the disappearance of Molly:
__________________________________________________ » A profilers point of view: October 2000 “He
did not stumble upon her. He knew his stuff. He was
watching her,” Dr. Kelly said. “This person is
visually oriented. He enjoys the outdoors, more of a
fisherman, and probably does not work. He'll probably have
a background of female abuse, lewd behavior, has exposed
himself when he was younger and he may be known as a
Peeping Tom.” » Search for Molly resumes: May 2003 The area where the bathing suit was found is wooded, not far from the Nenameseck Sportsmen's Club on Bacon Road in Palmer and about 5 miles from where Molly was last seen. Yesterday, two state police canine units from Conte's office searched the undisclosed area again, but found nothing. -May 2003 The Republican (read more) » Continuation of a profilers point of view May 2003 The predator who abducted Molly Bish from her lifeguard stand three years ago was a seasoned criminal who knows the rolling, wooded hills of this central Massachusetts town too intimately just to have been passing through, says a criminal profiler who has been following the case. ''This was a hometown guy, and he knows the area,'' said John Kelly, a clinical social worker and forensic examiner who runs a profiling firm. Last week, he and two other profilers familiar with the probe, said the abductor's likely characteristics include a fondness for hard-core pornography; a rap sheet full of prior offenses, stalking women or sexual assaults; an affinity for hiking or hunting; and an addiction to cigarettes. The assailant had only a brief opportunity to grab her, the pond is in a remote location, and the suit was found in an even more remote area five miles away. Those factors persuade Kelly that Bish's abductor knew the woods and the area well and planned the kidnapping carefully. Kelly said he would recommend that investigators search the high ground around where the suit was found because the abductor would want to be able to spot anyone approaching the spot where he was holding Bish. -May 2003 Boston Globe (read more)

case finding PALMER - Searchers yesterday discovered a
human bone just 500 feet from where a tattered bathing suit was
found, leaving Molly Bish's anguished parents with little hope
their missing daughter is alive.
``Now they know, pretty certain, that Molly is
likely dead,'' said family friend and state Sen. Stephen Brewer
(D-Barre), who met with the emotional family last night.
The upper arm bone came from a person between
age 14 and 20 and was on its way to a Virginia lab for DNA
testing, Worcester District Attorney John Conte said last night.
Molly was 16 years old when she disappeared from her lifeguard
post at Comins Pond in Warren three years ago this month.
The bone was discovered about 1 p.m.
on the highest
point of a ridge in the woods bordering Warren and Palmer. The bone was exactly 512 feet from where the blue
bathing suit was found.

Bishes press DNA reform
June
6, 2003 Yesterday, profiler John Kelly of System
to Apprehend Lethal Killers Inc. in New Jersey, said
he
believes he "knows a lot" about the person who
took Molly. He said that person is probably antisocial and
lives in constant torment. He urged the perpetrator to come forward
and use the press to tell his story. "Now's your chance to give yourself
up for abducting Molly," Kelly advised. "This is
your chance, this is your time. Give yourself up before
the Massachusetts police come and get you." -June

Bish probe no closer to narrowing suspects
June
9, 2003 ``There really isn't (a prime
suspect),'' said one source. ``It's an area where you have
a cast of characters out there. You have to go with the
odds and odds are it's someone from the area rather than
some stranger coming through.'' -June

At cabin in woods, a mention of Molly June
13, 2003 Two Warren teenagers said yesterday that
in the summer of 2000 they found a cabin in the woods with
sexually explicit magazines and videos inside, and a
handwritten note tacked to the outside door that mentioned
Molly Bish soon after she disappeared. -June

Finding Molly's Killer would beat the odds June
29, 2003 First there was the tip, shortly after Molly Bish disappeared, of a stench coming from a freshly dug hole in a trailer park. But days of digging only turned up buried crab shells. Then, there was a call from a mechanic who had found a known sex offender's car soaked with blood. But tests showed the blood was from an animal. »
Seven men now focus of Bish probe June
20, 2003
''They are unequivocally aware of him,''
Button said. ''That name and information has been turned
over.'' Allen was arrested in Sturbridge in 1998 after he
offered a 12-year-old $25 to get into his pickup truck at
a bus stop in Dudley. Allen told the girl that he was
looking for a ''12- or 13-year-old blond-headed girl named
Molly'' who had a dimple like Marilyn Monroe, according to
court documents reviewed in 1998 by the Globe. Police later found him at a boat dock,
Button said. A search of his vehicle turned up
pornographic magazines, liquor, rope, a book on tying
knots, a paper with the word ''blonde'' written on it, and
maps of towns in the area. -June
