Erin Moriarty

How could I have let her go?

Why did I do that?

Thanks for joining us again, Erin.

Oh, I love being here, but a little warning.

This is a tough story to talk about, an important story, but it's tough.

It is.

Well, one thing, 48 Hours, we stick with stories for a long time until they are resolved.

But most important is there's an unidentified killer.

And what happened to Molly, nobody wants to happen to any other child.

And so it is important to try to get answers in this case.

Plus, there have been updates, important updates, since we first aired this story.

Number one, there's a person of interest.

There had never been a person of interest named.

And there's also a new detective who was assigned the case, who is going to give new eyes.

to the evidence.

And it's the 25th anniversary.

And I think most police officers will tell you and investigators will tell you that when you go back on a story, when there's an anniversary, there's always a chance that you'll get new tips.

And this story is worth pursuing.

I think they didn't want to overly alarm her family.

They thought, hey, maybe she just walked off with friends and took too long.
