Fifteen-year-old Mary Clare Molly Conley was killed on June 1, 2013 in Lake Stevens, Washington. She was walking with friends celebrating her birthday when a bullet from a drive-by shooting struck her in the neck; she died one day after turning fifteen. Molly was a student at Bishop Blanchet High School described as bright and promising.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office linked Molly’s death to a series of drive-by shootings that same night. Ballistics tied bullets recovered from homes and vehicles to a specific type of firearm, and investigators matched paint chips from a hit-and-run to a vehicle registered to a person of interest. Less than a month later detectives arrested 26-year-old Erick Nathaniel Walker of Marysville and charged him with first-degree murder and multiple drive-by shooting counts.

At trial the jury convicted Walker of first-degree manslaughter in Molly’s death and of multiple other charges, including first-degree assault and drive-by shooting. In April 2015 a judge sentenced Walker to over 90 years in prison. Did anyone in the Lake Stevens area have contact with Molly or her friends that night who hasn’t already come forward?
