Photo bystoriesoftheunsolved.com More than 25 years have passed since 16-year-old Molly Bish disappeared from Comins Pond minutes after she arrived to begin her shift as a lifeguard on June 27, 2000. The search for the pretty blonde, blue-eyed high school student was the largest in Massachusetts history. Molly simply vanished. It was her eighth day on the job she inherited from her older brother John, who had worked as the Comins Pond lifeguard for three years.

Molly Bish Authorities Had His DNA for 18 Years Before Naming Him a Person of Interest In 2021, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early, Jr. named Francis P. Sumner a Person of Interest in the murder of a lifeguard who disappeared from her shift at Comins Pond on June 27, 2000. Despite launching the largest investigation in Massachusetts history, the murder of Molly Bish remains unsolved more than two decades later.

Claims Police Never Contacted Him After He Reported Ed Fett's Absence (storiesoftheunsolved.com) After I published my first story about the Bish case, a number of people shared information with me about the day Molly went missing. One of those people is a man who says he was doing community service for the Warren parks department that summer and was painting a fence at Cutter Park on June 27. He was a year behind Molly in school and grew up in Warren.
