It's been 7,680 days since my sister disappeared, and I've been waiting for answers on what happened to her. This is one of those cases that has haunted me my entire career. I was there from day one. This could be a very significant break in this case. At June 27, 2000, I was a reporter at WBC TV in Boston. We received a word that there was a teenager missing in Warren, Massachusetts. It was a lifeguard who was supposed to be working at this pond. Do you remember coming here? Yes. It started like every other missing person case that I've ever worked. And about what time did Molly arrived here? We believed sometime after 9.50. Molly went to work that day with her eighth day as a lifeguard at Cummins Pond. She drove with her mom to work. She stopped at an extra mark and purchased a bottle of water. She went to the police station, secured a police radio, her mom, and she then drove the short distance down to Cummins Pond. I was with Molly and I dropped her off and everything seemed fine. And the rest is a mystery at this point. And what was the left behind? Chair, radio, her flip-flops, a bottle of water. It was all right there. They said that she would possibly drown. Knowing that she probably didn't, but I ran into the water. He did. He was trying to get to the deep end. He was just going on adrenaline. Was it your baby's sister? You saw fireboats coming in. You saw dive teams coming in. The state police helicopter was hovering from up above. They had cadets from the state police doing grid searches all throughout the town, in the woods, and they were stopping cars. Was it an abduction? Did she drown? Did she walk away? I was frantic. My mom and I were frantic, and we were just staring into this pond, like, it will resurrect her or it will tell us what happened to her like it had the answers and what we didn't have. We kept asleep with no one where she was the first time in our life. You were actually on this case from the very beginning. Yes. My role as the anthropologist, the archeologist, they were coming and being saying, "Dr. Myers, we're not planning her. Where could she be?" They were focusing down around Cummings Pond, and I said, "Do you need to branch out?" The months went by, the years went by, and then the decades went by. So that's when I became a warrior.
