Molly Dattilo was 23 and a college student when she vanished from Indianapolis on July 6, 2004. Living with her brother while taking summer classes at IUPUI, she dropped off a job application that day, made preparations for school and other projects, and was planning an American Idol audition later that summer. Around 11:00 p.m. she called a friend from a payphone at a Thornton’s gas station; the call was abruptly disconnected and that was the last confirmed contact.

All of Molly’s personal items — phone, identification and bank cards — remained at her brother’s apartment, prompting concerns about foul play. The last known person to be with her was John Shelton, whom she had met through mutual friends; they reportedly had dinner, went on a boat ride and later visited the gas station. The case is being treated as a homicide investigation and remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Indianapolis remember seeing Molly or her car in the area of the Thornton’s station on the night of July 6, 2004?
