On the night of September 12th, 1985, 23-year-old CJ DeLuca was working an overnight shift at a Connecticut gas station he wasn't even supposed to be covering. By morning, he was dead — and three hours later, a second gas station attendant had been shot with the same gun.

This wasn't a random act of violence. It was a spree.

Forty years later, investigators believe they know who did it. They just need someone to finally come forward and say so.

On the morning of June 27th, 2000, sixteen-year-old Molly Bish was dropped off for her second day as a lifeguard at Comins Pond in Warren, Massachusetts. She walked toward the water with her things, her mom watched her go, and drove away. Less than fifteen minutes later, the chair was empty. Molly's flip-flops, her first aid kit, her lunch and her towel were sitting at the water's edge — but Molly wasn't there.

What followed was the largest missing person search in Massachusetts history. Three years later, only twenty-six bones were found in the deep woods of Palmer, five miles from the pond. And nearly twenty-six years later, no one has ever been charged.

The Bish family has never stopped fighting. But the lifeguard chair at Comins Pond has been empty for twenty-five years. And somebody out there knows why.

If you have information about the murder of Molly Bish, contact the Massachusetts State Police tip line at 508-453-7575 or email WorcesterDAunresolved@mass.gov. Tips can be anonymous.

This is episode two of two. Please listen to episode one first, this story has too many details to be one part.

When a former employee named Steven Durst was caught collecting ransom money for the missing couple, the investigation took a dark turn. Durst failed a polygraph and had been telling people the Markleys owed him exactly $1,000 — the same amount withdrawn at the bank.

He was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison, but has steadfastly maintained his innocence when it comes to the disappearance.

Twenty-five years later, a shooting in the same small township led to a massive property search with excavators and state investigators — and a sheriff referencing a cold case "dating back historically twenty years."

If you have any information about the disappearance of John and Shelly Markley, contact the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office at 330-675-2540.

You can also reach Detective Rick Tackett directly at 330-675-2508.

If you don't want to call law enforcement, you can message the family's Facebook page — it's called Missing Persons: John and Shelly Markley. They're still there. They're still checking it. They haven't given up.
