Dattilo family offers reward
By: Wayne Engle
Courier Staff Writer
Molly Dattilo’s family is offering a $10,000 reward for a limited time to try to obtain information leading to the safe return of the missing Madison woman or establishing where she is.
The family of Fred and Cherie Dattilo of Madison, Molly Dattilo’s parents, are offering the reward in cooperation with the Community United Effort Center for Missing Persons, of Wilmington, N.C. The reward will be offered from 7 a.m. Wednesday, March 9, until midnight Saturday, March 19, the missing-persons center said.
The tip line for the center is (910) 343-1131 or (910) 232-1687. The tip line is not associated with any law enforcement agency, and callers may remain anonymous. Reward money will be paid by the family of Molly Dattilo, the press release said.
Molly Dattilo, 23 at the time of her disappearance, has not been seen since July 6, 2004, when she was outside her Indianapolis apartment and walking toward a nearby Wendy’s restaurant to apply for a job.
She was born and raised in Madison. She had been living in Indianapolis with her brother and attending college classes and private voice lessons. The Marion County Sheriff’s Department is in charge of the investigation of her disappearance.
One of Molly Dattilo’s sisters, Celestra Dattilo Hoffman of Madison, will have a press conference at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Wayne Township Fire Department, 700 N. High School Road in Indianapolis, to officially announce the reward.
“A reward is nothing without letting the public know that it exists,” Hoffman wrote in an e-mail Sunday. She said the family had wanted to offer a reward from the very beginning, but did not have the funds or organization to do so.
“The frustration with the results of the investigation has led (us) to this last-ditch effort to get information which may lead (the family) to Molly,” Hoffman wrote. “The Dattilo family believes that some person or persons holds the key to finding Molly.”
