48 Hours: Hard Evidence (M)

Report on the unsolved abduction and subsequent murder of 16-year-old Molly Bish. Bish disappeared in June 2000 from the local swimming hole where she had just started a summer job as a lifeguard in her hometown of Warren, Mass. In May 2003, Tim McGuigan, a former police officer, helped to discover evidence that lead to the discovery of Molly's body. His interest in the case traced back to the 1993 abduction of another local girl, Holly Piirainen, who was 10 years old when she was taken from a country road in Sturbridge, Mass., roughly 10 miles from the pond where Molly disappeared. Holly's body was found several weeks after her abduction, but no arrests were ever made. McGuigan became obsessed with the Piirainen murder case and increasingly began to focus on the similarities between that case and the Bish disappearance. Three and half years after Molly Bish's disappearance, police are still investigating the case. Tim McGuigan is trying to restart his career as a police officer, and John and Magi Bish have been speaking to police across the country, hoping to improve the way they handle missing child cases.

Maeve joins emporium owner Russoul Sajadi for a tour of the best rice, nuts, barberries and spices essential for Persian cuisine then gets a lesson on kebabs from restaurateur Kamy Shapaury and his chef Malek Mehdi on how to thread the meat onto skewers and how to marinate and cook the kebabs. Along the way, she discovers the ancient slow-cooked dish called dizi, loved by manual labourers as a food that kept them going all day but now popular with younger Persians in Australia. Chef Jason Aghamri introduces Maeve to the hearty Persian breakfast kaleh pache, made with lambs' heads and hooves (will she say "yum" to this one?), and shows her how to cook the classic dish flavoured with dried limes and green herbs called qormeh sabzi. Renowned home cook Nadia Sajadi shares the secrets of perfect Persian rice, which she boils then steams then mixes with saffron, barberries and toasted nuts for the legendary zereshk polow - the rice dish of celebration. Like rice, Persian sweets are works of art, and baker Babak Joneidy shows how chickpea flour, rice flour and spices can make sweet magic.
