Melanie Flynn--
In 1993 her mother breaks a sixteen-year silence about the disappearance, calling a radio talk show to accuse the Lexington police of ignoring significant information she provided them in 1977. Mrs. Flynn is especially critical of then-Captain John Bizzack for his role in the case. "I have given Bizzack and many of your police officers," she tells Lexington Police Chief Larry Walsh on the air, "names, dates, addresses, and events, that nobody seemed to care about." The mother also tells a WKYT TV reporter that she believes the Lexington police themselves were "involved" in her daughter's disappearance and murder. Mrs. Flynn speaks out after her daughter's name is repeatedly mentioned during the drug trafficking trial of Bill Canan. According to several witnesses at the trial, Canan, the Lexington police officer who had been the last person to see the missing woman alive, had implied that he had been involved in her death. Yet at the time he was never interviewed by Lexington detectives. In the summer of 2001 the case of Melanie Flynn remains unsolved.
