• ''In 2021, Francis “Frank” P. Sumner Sr. — a convicted rapist and kidnapper who died in 2016 — was identified as a suspect in her case.
  But as of Dec. 8, the killing remains unsolved.''
• ''During the interview, Heather Bish recalls her mother calling her and telling her Molly Bish’s shoes had been left behind.

• 'Sumner had been cremated and his DNA had never been submitted to the national CODIS database, according to the show.'
• Instead, they did testing on his son, who was in prison for robbery. But that came back inconclusive.''

''Worcester District Attorney Joe Early Jr. told the show that officials “continue to test.”
''A new detective has been put on the case recently. She hopes to find new clues. And the first place she’s starting: Molly’s backpack.''
