Molly Bish case gets fresh look 25 years after Massachusetts teen's murder #shorts | Forensic Files

I don't think it occurred to anyone this would happen. In fact, with hindsight, you look back, she actually had a police
radio that she went to pick up and she's supposed to call in and check in and I don't think anybody noticed that she
didn't. Or it's possible she never got a chance to because we do know that whatever happened to her happened to her
within minutes, a very short period of time. I got to tell you, one of the things that sort of struck me being the
mom of a semi newly minted teenager is that I was surprised she was working at the pond alone. I have to agree with
you, Amory, that was concerning. Um, I was a lifeguard many years before that and I was never alone. Um, not because
anyone feared I was going to get kidnapped, but because if I had to go in, and I did have to do that once, go
in for a child, someone else has to be there to call the alarm, to, you know, help me bring the the child in if the
child needs CPR, anything like that. So, it really surprised me that she would be
alone there.
