Following a tip from a local hunter, part of a one piece, blue Nike bathing suit is discovered on Whiskey Hill near the Nenameseck Sportsmen’s Club on Bacon Road in Palmer, Massachusetts.
The finding launches a full scale, grid-by-grid search over three weeks along eight and a half acres of hillsides and wooded areas on both sides of West Warren Road in Palmer and nearby Ware.
In early June, the intensive search produced a second significant finding, a human arm bone.
Days later, two more arm bones and a shin bone are found.
And then a femur, two rib bones and four vertebrae.
On June 9, 2003, investigators found teeth.
That same day, Worcester County District Attorney John Conte announced the arm bone they discovered in the woods matched the DNA of 16-year-old Molly Bish.
Molly had been missing for three years.
