She and her brother had been visiting their grandparents in Sturbridge, Massachusetts when Holly was murdered.[1] Piirainen and her brother had gone to a neighbor's house to see puppies. Her brother had returned to the cottage where the grandparents lived, but Piirainen did not. One of Piirainen's shoes was found by the side of a road.[1] Searching for Piirainen took two months. On October 23, 1993, Piirainen's remains were found by hunters in Brimfield, Massachusetts. The killer still has not been found.[1] Since Piirainen's death, the Holly Piirainen Scholarship Fund was established in her memory by her family.{{Citation needed|date=March 2014}} Later investigative leadsOn January 3, 2012, Hampden County Attorney Mark Mastroianni announced that forensic evidence found near Piirainen's body had been linked to David Pouliot, a suspect who died in 2003.[2] Investigators have not disclosed the nature of the forensic evidence, nor the type of testing that linked Pouliot to the evidence. Investigators said that, although Pouliot is a person of interest in the crime, {{as of|2012|January|lc=y}} he has not yet formally been named a suspect. Pouliot frequently hunted and fished around the area where Piirainen's body was found.[5] Connection to Molly Bish caseFellow Massachusetts resident Molly Bish was murdered seven years later. Her body was also found in a wooded area in Worcester County. Police considered the possibility that the two cases could be related. Pouliot is considered a person of interest in both cases. In an unusual twist, it was discovered that Bish wrote Holly Piirainen's family a letter following Holly's disappearance.[5] An excerpt from Molly Bish's letter: {{quote|I am very sorry. I wish I could make it up to you. Holly is a very pretty girl. She is almost as tall as me. I wish I knew Holly. I hope they found her.[3]|Molly Bish at age 10}}See also
