- 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.

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.
