Molly Young’s life came to an abrupt end on March 24, 2012, when she was just 21 years old. Young’s boyfriend, Richie Minton, told police he woke up and found Young deceased next to him from what he initially believed was a drug overdose. He called the 911 dispatch center where he worked several minutes later and said he found a gun under Young’s body and an apparent gunshot wound to her head. He claimed he was drunk and never heard a gun go off during the night.
Detectives first started investigating Young’s death as a homicide, but the coroner listed her manner of death as suicide. Then, a coroner’s jury changed Young’s manner of death to “undetermined.”
Young’s family believes she was the victim of a murder, and they are continuing to fight to uncover the truth about her death.
