Molly Bish was a 16-year-old girl who disappeared in Massachusetts in 2000. Her remains were found nearly three years later in the woods of Whiskey Hill in nearby Palmer. Despite ongoing investigations, no one has been charged with her murder.

Twenty years after 16-year-old Molly Bish’s body was found, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early remains optimistic about solving her murder. His office is actively investigating the case, and they’ve named Francis “Frank” Sumner Sr. as a person of interest. Sumner, who died in 2016, was a central Massachusetts resident with a history of criminal activity. He fits the description provided by Molly’s mother and resembles a police sketch based on her description. However, despite these developments, no one has been charged with Molly Bish’s murder1. Her remains were found nearly three years after her disappearance in the woods of Whiskey Hill in nearby Palmer2. If you’re interested, there’s an exclusive look at the evidence that remains in storage more than two decades after her disappearance3.
