Effective July 1, 2007--Just 5 days before Molly Dattilo’s disappearance date, 3 years ago. (July 6, 2004)
The Dattilo Family and Indiana’s Families of the missing want to sincerely thank Representative Dave Cheatham, Senator Michael R. Young, and Senator Connie Sipes for sponsoring Molly Dattilo’s Law and getting it passed, in both the House and the Senate unanimously. We also want to thank Governor Mitch Daniels and all the House and Senate members for standing behind us and making a great change for Indiana’s missing.
April 26, 2007, Governor Mitch Daniels signed “Molly Dattilo’s Law”. This law will ensure that all missing cases are accepted immediately and cases are investigated to the fullest extent, possible.
"Molly Dattilo’s Law" and the majority of it’s language was born almost 2 years ago, in April 2005, as Model Legislation at the first National Strategy Meeting identifying the Missing. At this conference, the National Criminal Justice Reference Service brought together Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement, medical examiners and coroners, victim's advocates, forensic scientists, key policymakers and families who have lived through this tragic experience to develop the baseline Missing Persons' Model Legislation. The Model was now ready for the next step.
ProjectJason.org, a not for profit Missing Persons organization, founded by Kelly Jolkowski, facilitated the next step and called for volunteers in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia to retain a sponsor to support the Model Missing Persons' Legislation at the state level.
Campaign for the Missing, a grassroots effort, was born and volunteers came forward from many states to take the Model Legislation, tailor it for their respective state, retain a sponsor, and forge it into law.
Over a year ago, Keri Dattilo, Nina Eaglin, and Karen Modisett, 2 cousins and a family friend of missing Molly Dattilo, lobbied Indiana’s Congress for the Department of Justice’s Missing Persons Legislation on behalf of Molly. Molly has been missing for almost 3 years.
Marion County Sheriff’s Department, now the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, did not consider Molly’s case a high priority in the beginning and was very slow to investigate her case. The Dattilo family had to work very hard to ensure her case was taken seriously. They do not want another family to have to go through what they did when Molly disappeared.
