Family still looking for closure in the disappearance of Molly Datillo

[sanityslipping]

Molly Datillo disappeared years ago, but I saw an old case posted a few days ago. I figured what the hell, it wouldn't hurt to post anyways. Maybe somebody knows something that they don't know they know.

Molly is 23 years old; she is Caucasian and has shoulder length light brown hair and green eyes. She weighs about a 100 pounds is about 5 feet tall. She has a dime sized birth mark on the upper outside of her right arm, just below the elbow. Also, the very tip of her left thumb and thumbnail were severed in a childhood accident. When the thumb healed, the thumbnail grew slightly down over the edge of the thumb giving the thumbnail a rounded off or hook-like appearance. It is noticeably deformed. She is athletic and has a wiry runner's build. The birthmark and thumb are also visible on the poster.

Indianapolis, IN -- Molly, a student at IUPUI and Eastern Kentucky
University has been missing since the evening of Tuesday, July 6, 2004.
Molly placed her last phone call around 11:00 PM from a pay phone at a Thornton's gas station on Crawfordsville Road in Indianapolis. At this time, she was with John E. Shelton, the last person known to have seen her.

Shelton has been or is presently considered a person of interest in the investigation. A number of sources have confirmed that Shelton told IMPD that he has substantial information concerning the disappearance of Molly Dattilo. Shelton, who is currently incarcerated on unrelated charges, has offered the information about Dattilo in exchange for a plea bargain.

The Dattilo Family applauds the decision of IMPD to step up its investigation of Molly's disappearance and once again asks that anyone with useful information please come forward immediately.

$100,000 reward still in effect

The prick has clammed up when not offered immunity as part of his plea bargain, and the family has been locked out of the loop. If anybody in the area knows ANYTHING that can help. Please contact the family, Even if you've never heard of Molly Datillo, but know this punk, and have something on him, that might get him to talk.

I'm not sure how to post pictures on here, I've tried, can't get it right, computer's hate me. But here's a link to a myspace with that you can use, to see pics of Molly. www.myspace.com/mollydattilo

I pray that they get some info. Somebody out there must know something. And I've met people that would sell out their mother for $100K

Hopefully somebody comes forward with information. It's probably too late for Molly, but maybe somebody can help the family get some closure.

Plainfield - It's been six years to the day since a west side woman vanished.

The headlines of Molly Datillo's disappearance have faded, but her family's persistence hasn't. Relatives believe the 23-year-old college student was murdered. They still hope someone will speak out with new information so they can find her remains and bring her killer to justice.

Benjamin Dattilo spoke at The Living Christ Lutheran Church Tuesday about the disappearance of his sister, Molly Dattilo.

Molly Dattilo, who would be 29 years old, was last seen by her family and friends on July 6, 2004, at the Westlake Apartments. Later that night around 11:00 pm, she made a call from a pay phone at the Thornton's gas station at 5760 Crawfordsville Road in Indianapolis.

Police had a suspect but not enough evidence to file charges. The family says he's now in prison on unrelated crimes. The family filed a civil complaint against that man, John Shelton, for "battery leading to permanent and probable fatal injury to Molly Dattilo." Shelton's father has also been added to the suit, but he is out of state. The case is awaiting a hearing.

"In the six years that my family has gone through a roller coaster nightmare of not knowing where she is....I don't know how you can ever move forward from that. You move forward, but I don't know how you can ever give up the hope to find her," said Keri Dattilo, Molly's cousin.

Since Molly's disappearance, her family successfully campaigned for Molly Dattilo's Law, which was passed three years ago by the Indiana legislature. The law provides procedures and guidelines for law enforcement to follow in missing adult cases.
