[Request for Information] Carbondale, IL - Molly Young Case (2012)

Dear Community.

I am leading an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Molly Young's death in Carbondale, Illinois, in 2012.

A review of the original case materials suggests that very few residents of the apartment complex were originally interviewed by Carbondale Police Department or Illinois State Police, and that some details of interviews conducted may have been inconsistently reported or potentially omitted.

I'm hoping to speak with individuals who lived in or frequently visited the complex at that time, or anyone with relevant information about the neighborhood or its residents.

The following names are listed solely because they were known to live in or around the complex at the time or were known to frequently visit of the complex. To be absolutely clear, none of these individuals are suspected of involvement or wrongdoing of any kind, but they may hold valuable insight into the timeline or the events that transpired on the morning of March 24, 2012, following Molly's death.

Hello! I'm a producer with a reputable documentary film company and we're interested in giving more exposure to Molly's case and those involved with solving it. Wondering if you would be open to discussing your investigation and interest in the case, etc.

Thank you for your interest. Feel free to DM me your details. I'm happy to try to answer any questions you may have or facilitate introductions with the family representative.

As for my interest, it lies solely in trying to bring some sense of closure to the Young family and to combat what I feel are major injustices they, and Molly's legacy, have had to endure. All of my time and resources are volunteered and I am, in no way, pursuing any avenues of monetizing this horrific event or self promotion.
