Cribe Stories with Nancy Grace

June 27, 2000

What happened to a beautiful, beautiful young girl, Molly Bish?

Joining me right now is a special guest, Maggie Bish

and her daughter Heather. I'm Nancy Grace. This is Cribe Stories. Thank you for being with us.

Maggie, I can't tell you what it means to me to get to speak to you again

and to me your beautiful daughter Heather.

Just, you know, it's funny.

It's funny. It's funny how you never think, I would never, when I was little,

I would never have thought, wow, some of the greatest people ever made in my life

are going to be crime victims. You know, you don't think about that when you're planning your future.

There's some kind of a bond between violent crime victims and I can't really explain it,

but I'll start Maggie with telling you, I don't know if you know how many prayers go up every day about you and Molly and your family.

I'll just start with that and then to you, it was Molly's eighth day at a brand new job as a lifeguard.

She was just 16. It was a hot summer day. Do you remember that day Maggie?

Oh, how I do. Again, we had just gotten out of school, I'm a school teacher and it cleaned your room.

And I had, I actually was a special led teacher and I had some, some, IEP, some work to complete.

And so we were all kind of buzzing a little bit. You know, Molly had a new job, my son had just trained her.

And I had taken her to work the day before and it was kind of a little unsettling.

And she had seen a car that day parked in the parking lot and there was only one white vehicle and Molly got out and she was very excited and said,

Hi, mom, I love you. See you later. You know, when she had to get some supplies ready and go down to the beach, it was the first week of swimming lessons for the town kids.

So we live in a very small community, only 4,000 folks, one traffic light, beautiful town in the central Massachusetts.
