Sneak peek: Help Find Molly Bish's Killer | Forensic Files

It's been 7,680 days since my sister disappeared and I've been waiting for answers on what
happened to her. >> This is one of those cases that has haunted me my entire career. I was there
from day one. This could be a very significant break in this case. June 27th, [music] 2000, I was a
reporter at WBZTV in Boston. We received word that there was a [music] teenager missing in Warren, Massachusetts. It was
a lifeguard who was supposed to be working [music] at this pond. >> Do you remember coming here?
>> Yes. It started like every other missing person [music] case that I've ever worked.
>> And about what time did Molly arrived here? >> We believe sometime after 9:50.
Molly went [music] to work that day. Uh it was her eighth day as a lifeguard at Cumins Pond. She drove with her mom to
work. She stopped at a extra mart [music] and purchased a bottle of water. She went to the police station, secured
a [music] police radio, her mom, and she then drove the short distance down to Cumins Pond.
>> I was with Molly [music] and they dropped her off and everything seemed fine >> and the rest is a mystery at this point.
[music] And what was left behind? >> Chair, radio, uh her flip-flops, a bottle of water. It was all all right
there. They said that she would she would she possibly drowned >> knowing that she probably didn't, but I
ran into the water. >> He did. He was trying to get to the deep end. >> He just going on adrenaline.
It's your baby sister. >> You saw, you know, fireboats coming in. You saw [music] dive teams coming in.
The state police helicopter was hovering [music] from up above. They had cadetses from the state police.
>> Take your time. >> Doing grid searches [music] all throughout the town in the woods and
they were stopping cars. >> Was it an abduction? Did she drown? Um, did [music] she walk away?
>> I was like frantic. My mom and I were frantic and we [music] were just staring
into this pond like it'll resurrect her or it'll tell us what happened to her. Like it had the answers that we didn't
have. We had to sleep with no knowing where she was the first time in our life. >> You were actually on this case from
[music] the very beginning. >> Yes. My role as the anthropologist, the archaeologist.
They were coming [music] to me and saying, "Dr. Myers, we're not finding her. Where could she be?" They were
focusing down [music] around Cummings Pot and I said, "You need to branch out. >> The months went by, [music] the years
went by, and then the decades went by." >> So that's when I became a warrior. >> Ever since that day, I've been trying to
find the person who took my sister. I'm asking you for help. [music] I picked up
that sword and I started marching on. >> To the man responsible for the abduction
of my sister, Molly Bish, I want you to know I'm coming for you. >> I will never give up. Maybe we won't
know why, but [music] we at least deserve to know who. >> I will use science. I will use
technology. I will use my voice. I will not stop screaming from the mountain tops [music] for justice for Molly. I'm
coming for you. I'm coming.
