Mother of dead Falls Twp. woman found in Burlco always held out hope

She was going to come home. Dee Lynch was sure of that. The daughter who had struggled with drugs - and disappeared in April - just had to be alive.
 
Molly Lynch, then 22, had left her family's Falls Township home without warning before, for a month once. That time, she ended up in Kensington.

In her two sisters' tortured dreams, Molly was gone. But Dee Lynch had a gut feeling, an intuition. "Call it what you want," she said. So the family combed the streets of Kensington every few weeks, to no avail.

On Monday, a Falls Township officer assigned to the case after Lynch was reported missing met with her family. They hadn't spoken for nearly a year. The officer wanted a sample of her DNA. Dee Lynch gave him her daughter's blue blanket, the one she had snuggled in as an infant and wrapped herself in even as an adult when she sucked her thumb.

On Wednesday, after Burlington County authorities, working with Falls Township police, announced they had positively identified Molly Lynch from remains discovered on a wooded trail in Pemberton Township in June, her mother still struggled.

"I almost still expect her to come home," said Dee Lynch, a security officer at Falls Township Park. "Part of me thinks they have the wrong person."

Although the cause of death is undetermined, it has been ruled a homicide.

A body found in Burlington County, N.J., woods last summer was identified today by authorities as a young woman from Bucks County missing almost a year.
 
Molly Lynch, 22, of the Levittown section in Falls Township, was reported missing by family last April. The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office did not say how she died, but that her death has been ruled "homicide by unspecified means."

In announcing that they found Lynch, the prosecutor's office asked for the public's help in helping solve her murder.

"It was information from the public that led to the determination of the identity in this case," the prosecutor's office said in a statement. "We are now asking the public for any information that may lead investigators to determine how she died."

Lynch's body was found off Quail Run Trail in Pemberton Township, N.J. by two people riding all terrain vehicles on June 17.
