DA says some evidence in Bish case undergoes DNA testing

The Worcester district attorney said some evidence related to the killing of teenage lifeguard Molly Bish is undergoing new DNA testing. District Attorney Joseph Early told WBZ-TV Thursday that investigators hope that new technology will yield more information on the 12-year-old case. Twenty pieces of evidence are to be tested for DNA, including items such as cigarettes found at Comins Pond in Warren, where the 16-year-old Bish disappeared from her lifeguard job on June 27, 2000. Some of the items have been tested before. Bish’s remains were found three years after she disappeared, in woods a few miles from the pond. (AP)
