Molly Dattilo, a young woman from Indianapolis, Indiana, disappeared on July 6, 2004, after leaving her home to fill out a job application at a nearby Wendy's restaurant around 7:00 p.m. She was reported missing two days later by her brother, who noted her departure was unusual—she left without her phone or extra clothing despite having an appointment scheduled for July 9th.
