WILLIAM BRADFORD BISHOP:

This is the Bishop home located at 8103 Lilly Stone Drive in Bethesda, Maryland, where Brad Bishop murdered his family on March 1, 1976.



I could never understand before why the house wasn't visible from the street on Google Street View but looking from the bird's eye view on Bing Maps, you can see the house is hidden behind a ton of trees. The split driveway the Bishop family shared with their next door neighbor, the ones who had the extra key to the Bishop house and reported the family missing can be seen in this shot.



The virtual tour of the house is still available online. So I took these screen shots of the two bedrooms where Bishop's 3 sons were murdered.





This last photo is the Sears store located in the Montgomery Mall where Brad Bishop bought the 2 1/2 gallon gas can and the 2 1/2 pound mini-maul sledgehammer around 5:40 p.m. on the night of the murders.

Nice search work. Pretty little house too. I think i would be scared to live in a house that 4-5 people were murdered in though.

Que Robert Stack;

"Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries, a seemingly normal house in Bethesda, Maryland is the scene of several unknown apparitions. Could they be the spirits of a family murdered here more than 30 years ago?"

Dun dun dun da dun da da!

I got chills just imagining him saying that.

Sorry that my friend and I are in these and the darkness makes it hard to see but they were taken before I saw this thread and have since moved away from the area and can't retake them.

This was taken in what I believed to be the spot Stack spoke from at one point. More to follow...

The segment did say that the 24 hour supermarket where she bought her book was on the corner of Desert Inn Road & Maryland Parkway in Las Vegas. But looking at the corner on street view, I'm not sure which corner is the right one. Right now, there's an Applebee's on one corner, a Carl Junior Burger place on another corner and a liquor store on the other corner. It's a major intersection and it's not surprising that the businesses are different than what they were in 1987 when Kathy was kidnapped.

According to the segment, the apartment complex where she lived with her mother and sister was just a block and half from the supermarket. When snooping around, I found a couple apartment complexes nearby but I'm not sure which one is the right one.

As to where Kathy's body was found, I don't think it's even available on street view because she was dumped somewhere in the desert.

Really late to reply to this, but it's the NW corner - there's a Carl's Jr in the corner and the Office Max is where the former Albertson's supermarket was where Kathy went to buy her novel. I have pictures, trying to find them now.

MOLLY BISH:

An aerial shot of Comins Pond in Warren, Massachusetts where Molly was abducted on June 27, 2000. I've got all the areas of interest marked. The entrance is where Molly's mother dropped her off every day and where she saw the creepy looking guy in a white car the day before the abduction.



Articles online say that the day after the abduction, bloodhounds tracked Molly's scent leading from her lifeguard chair, into the woods to Saint Paul's Cemetery. And the abduction happened so quickly. Molly's mother dropped her off at 10:00 a.m. and by 10:08, she had already vanished.



This last photo is a car wash located at the edge of Comins Pond Road, just down the street from the pond. Two people reported seeing a white car here that matched the description of the car Molly's mother has seen the day before.

KATHY HOBBS:

Thanks to Awsi Dooger and futuredentist86 for pointing out the correct corner of Desert Inn Road & Maryland Parkway in Las Vegas where Kathy was abducted. Kathy bought her book at a 24 hour market called Albertsons. Today, the market is an Office Depot. Kathy exited through a side entrance which is now blocked and walled in next to a loading dock. According to the eyewitness phone call to police, the abduction happened in this side parking lot as well.

Notice the little brown shack in the front of the picture with the white trim...you can see it also from the video of the Phillip Fraser story....so that confirms that the location is correct (see below for comparison)

You win.

I can confirm that it was torn down. This information came from an episode of Solved (her case was profiled, a good watch, available through streaming on Netflix).

I want to thank everyone again for contributing to this thread. Really, this is awesome.

So good news and bad - I was in Vegas for a few days over break and took a ride down to the Kathy Hobbs intersection - they were literally in the process of clearing the rubble from the Albertson's/Office Depot (thanks, Dynoguy88 - I couldn't seem to find my old pictures). Here's what it looks like as of 12/23/11. My aunt said it was still standing 1 week earlier.

Wow, that is sad, and even more sad to know that a girl was kidnapped from around there and later murdered.
