Ohio Governor, Bob Taft, signed House Bill 571 otherwise known as “Jonathan’s Law” named after Jonathan Sheasby. Jonathan Sheasby was missing for 83 days before his body was recovered. Jonathan’s mother made a promise at his funeral.
Sally Sheasby made a promise to her son at his funeral.
She told Jonathan she would do whatever she could to help others who know the pain of having a loved one go missing.
The newly signed law will aid in the help provided for missing adults.
The law generally requires improved police response to reports of missing adults and the prompt entering of missing-person reports into a national police computer system.
Jonathan Sheasby was missing for 83 days before the body of the murdered Mount Vernon man was found in some Knox County woods last spring.
- The law, effective April 4, requires police to enter information about missing persons in a national police database within seven days if foul play is suspected.
- In cases where foul play is not suspected, the information must be entered within 30 days.
- The law also improves police missing-persons training and requires coroners to provide DNA samples from unidentified bodies to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation. (Columbus Dispatch)

Molly Dattilo has been missing since July 6, 2004 and has not been seen or heard from since. Molly Dattilo was a student at Eastern Kentucky University; however, attended classes Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis in 2004. New information has been released by her family as to the final known steps of Molly Dattilo.

Description: (Picture)
- At the time of her disappearance, Molly Dattilo was described as being about 5 feet tall
- 100 pounds, with an athletic build
- shoulder-length, light brown hair
- green eyes
- a dime-size birthmark on the outside of her upper right arm.
But yesterday Ben Dattilo said the family has learned she later met an Indianapolis man at her apartment complex, went on a rowboat ride with him on a lake at the complex, and then went to eat dinner with him at a nearby Taco Bell.
Then, he said, the pair went to a gas station, where Molly Dattilo tried to phone a friend. But the call was disconnected when the friend answered, he said.
“We have every reason to believe she placed her last phone call in (the man’s) presence from this location,” Ben Dattilo said. “We do not know what happened after this phone call, but it’s our family’s sincerest hope that others may have information about what happened that night, what happened to Molly or where she is now.”
The Courier-Journal is not naming the man because he has not been charged with a crime or named by police as a suspect. (Courier Journal)
The police are not saying whether this man last known being with Molly is a suspect or providing names.

Family: Woman With New Acquaintance Before Vanishing
Private investigators believe Molly Dattilo spent the evening she vanished — July 6, 2004 — in Indianapolis with a 33-year-old man whom she had met that day at a friend’s apartment, according to Dattilo’s brother, Ben Dattilo.
Ben Dattilo said he wouldn’t speculate on whether the man had anything to do with the disappearance. However, police said Thursday that while they also believe the man, John E. Shelton, was with Molly Dattilo on the night she vanished, they don’t consider him a suspect.
