Detectives in Massachusetts are reviewing Regan's business trips to Sturbridge to see whether he was in nearby Warren when 16-year-old Molly disappeared in June 2000. Her body was found years later in the woods near where she disappeared.

Molly's father, John Bish, said he's discussed Regan's case with investigators and is glad they're looking into him. The family issued this statement:

"We are grateful that police are looking into this individual. Saratoga is in close proximity, and the man ties to Connecticut and has been in our area on business. We are frightened to hear about incidents like this and grateful the girl in Saratoga got away. We are concerned that there might be a connection to Molly but don't want to get to ahead of ourselves."

After reading the full article it is easy to see why this guy wasn't charged for years for a rape that happened in 1993. This really ticks me off. If you and your family have enough money and a prominent name in town you can get away with just about anything.

This guy reminds me of Dennis Rader. Only this guy was the perfect father...at all of his kids games, etc. A family man on the outside and a monster on the inside.

If this guy was accused of kidnaping or attempted kidnaping twice in a year why wasn't he in jail? What is up with that? It sounds like everytime he gets himself into trouble....rape, kidnaping...nothing happens to him. I'll bet he has gotten away with a lot more then was in that article. I won't be surprised if he wasn't in the areas of some of these missing kids. I hope they can hang his butt.

It's been a busy week for Magdalen Bish. The first-grade teacher from Massachusetts has been preparing for the school's pilgrim pageant, holding parent conferences and getting ready for her family's Thanksgiving gathering.

In between it all, she's had to confront fresh questions about her 16-year-old daughter's abduction and killing. "It's been tough for us," said Bish, who came to Connecticut Saturday with her husband, John, to deliver a talk on child safety at the University of New Haven.

Molly Bish vanished from her lifeguard post at a pond near her home in the tiny town of Warren, Mass., on June 27, 2000. Police recovered her remains nearly three years later.

"She came home bone by bone," Magi Bish recalled. "First her shin bone, then her skull. ... In the end, 26 of Molly's bones came home to us."

Regan, who remains in a psychiatric facility in upstate New York, has not been charged in the Bish case. His lawyer, E. Stewart Jones, said investigators are overreacting and will turn up nothing.

OHMyGosh! How horrifying! I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

It truly makes me want to cry.

PS...We have a thread on this guy in 'crimes' section. IMO, even if he isn't responsible for Molly, I bet anything they're going to find he's responsible for others. They've started a task force, just for him and checking out his past twenty years............fran

Maura and Brianna, too, possibly?

Not much detail, but I guess he's not our guy. I was hoping we could have found some resolution.

It just makes me want to scream. How many just disappear with no resolve?

Hoping to spark new interest in the case, a videotape was released of Molly in a convenience store with her mother, just minutes before her disappearance.
Molly's father was on FOX news yesterday discussing timeline of the tape, the grand jury convening for the past two years, and the narrowed suspect list is down to seven. ( I hope the police can figure this out, and the real killer is one of those seven.)
Anyway, hoping that the segment produces more information for this family. Molly deserves justice, and so does this dear family.
It was heartbreaking to hear and see how painful it is/was for them to bring home their beautiful, young daughter...bone, by bone. And, to see that videotape of Molly and her mother, knowing what would lie ahead for her in the next few moments. He described how painful it was for the family to view it.
I admire their faith, and strength.
Prayers.

I too hope this brings some answers!

This case was just profiled on Haunting Evidence. I only watched about 5 minutes of it, but, as I've said before about this show, the so called psychics didn't mention anything that isn't already known.


BUT I'm hoping that the show brings new attention to the case.

I still think Regan has something to do with Molly's disappearance. He drove through her town many times for work. He plead guilty to trying to abduct Lindsey Ferguson, a girl from Saratoga Springs, NY and was sentenced to fifteen years, he still faces charges in Connecticut. He sure picked the wrong girl to go after in Lindsey, she is one of the nations best cross country athletes and is headed to Notre Dame on a full scholarship.

I'm glad that the girl he tried to kidnapp was a girl that is well known in the athletic world or nothing would have happened to this creep. He has gotten away with so many things because of family money and power. It really makes me sick. A pervert is a pervert regardless of money and they all should be treated alike.

I hope that it can be figured out if he is the reason that Molly is no longer with us. Her family really need her killer to be caught and sent to prison. It's so unfair to families when things just go on and on.

The pictures of the missing were joined by the families who are left behind, waiting for their loved ones to return.

"There are days when not talking is much easier. When each of us is in some other place, and we wonder how we are going to go on," said John Bish.

Maggie and John Bish's daughter disappeared more than six years ago near their home in Massachusetts. Her body was found three years later. The Bish's joined hundreds of affected families Sunday at the New York State museum for a ceremony to remember all missing persons.

"Many of these families are still missing their children. We haven't found them. So, we come to support and love," said Maggie Bish.

Please pray for John Bish, Molly's father. He is in the hospital and seriously ill.

His is a strong voice for the missing. It is hard to think of it being silenced in any way. Magi is staying strong. Thank you.

 

[Ntegrity]

I'm so sorry to hear that and I will be praying for him.

 

[englishleigh]

I admire John Bish so much. Big prayers for him...Kelly, please keep us updated.

 

[Kelly]

No updates so far this evening. It sounds to me like he had a stroke or brain bleed. They had to do surgery.

The Bish family has been through so much grief. I will send a check to the fund set up for him during his recovery. Thanks Kelly.
