What about this man really stuck out to Maggie?

So after three years, there was a breakthrough in the case.

Police are notified that there's a blue bathing suit that was found about five miles from Cummins Pond.

It resembles the one that Molly was wearing on the day she disappeared.

Yes.

You interviewed a local reporter, Kathy Curran, who described what that moment was like for Maggie and John Bish.

And it was, you know, obviously very emotional for them as parents, that kind of realization that if you're finding the bathing suit and you're not finding her, this is not a good sign.

But what I was surprised about was how emotional Kathy was.

Yeah, and I think, you know, when you're a journalist and you know that maybe you have an awareness of news that will be heartbreaking to the family,

It's really difficult to determine what the right thing to do is in that moment, but it certainly seems like, you know, Maggie and her husband were appreciative to get that opportunity to know, you know, what police already knew.

Yeah.

So another really fascinating person that you spoke to during this hour was Dr. Ann Marie Myers.

She is a forensic anthropologist who works for the Boston Medical Examiner's Office.

I had never heard of a forensic anthropologist before.

I mean, how rare is it to come across one of those?

So, you know, once bones are found, the Bish family are able to have a funeral.

But what I thought was really interesting about something that Molly's mom, Maggie, said was,

It stuck out to me.

She said she felt blessed that she could have a funeral in a church.

Welcome back.
