Molly Dattilo could run her heart out every day and not get tired of it. She loved running so much she was offered a scholarship to attend Eastern Kentucky University.

Not too far from her home in Madison, Indiana, Molly was thrilled to head off to college and keep running.

Running wasn’t Molly’s only hobby she enjoyed, she was also a singer. In fact, her dream was to go to an American Idol audition, something she was planning on putting in motion that summer of 2006.

Molly went to Indianapolis that summer to take some courses at IUPUI- Indiana University–Purdue University of Indianapolis and was living in an apartment near campus.

On July 6 of that year, Molly was planning on going to Wendy’s to apply for a job, she went and did some shopping for her upcoming nephew’s birthday, and she would make a phone call to a friend- from a payphone- at 11:00 p.m. that night.

Molly Dattilo would not be seen or heard from again.

Where is Molly Dattilo?

Who is Molly Dattilo?

Molly Dattilo was born on June 13, 1982. She would be the youngest of nine children.

Growing up in Madison, Indiana, Molly learned early on there were a couple of things she enjoyed and happened to be very good at.

The first was singing. Molly was always singing and even took private voice lessons. Those who knew her and heard her sing, said she was very talented. In 2004, the year she would go missing, she had planned to attend an American Idol audition. This had been a dream of hers and she was so excited to finally attend an audition later that summer.

Even as a college student, Molly continued to take private voice lessons and work hard to get better. A trait that Molly took with her in everything she did. Hard work and determination.
