Holly Piirainen Case To Be Highlighted on 'Dark Minds'

The unsolved case of Holly Piirainen, the 10-year-old Grafton girl who went missing in 1993 and whose remains were found months later, will be the focus of an episode of Dark Minds tonight.

Dark Minds, a television show that airs at 10 tonight on the Investigation Discovery Channel, features non-fiction crime author M. William Phelps and criminal profiler John Kelly as they revisit unsolved homicides believed to be the work of serial killers.

The channel describes the episode, "Blonde, Blue-Eyed, and Gone," as follows:

After 10-year-old Holly Piirainen disappeared in 1993, Molly Bish, a girl the same age from a nearby town, wrote Holly's parents a heartfelt letter. Seven years later, Bish went missing too. Eventually, both girls' bodies were found just 10 miles apart. With two other similar cases in Connecticut and Massachusetts, Phelps' mission is personal to find answers to these crimes that occurred in his local community.

Piirainen was last seen on Aug. 5, 1993, headed to South Shore Road in Sturbridge to play with puppies at a home in the area. Her skeletal remains were located in Brimfield on Oct. 23, 1993.
