Build a better milk carton
Five years have passed since Molly Bish was abducted from Comins Pond in Warren, where she worked as a lifeguard. Yet Magi Bish still wonders if an up-to-date photograph could have led to her daughter's safe recovery."If we had a poster-specific photo of her printed on an identification card we could have gotten it to the police right away," Bish said from her Warren home.

But critics say it's an invitation for the well-connected to brandish their influence and avoid getting tickets.
