For Mother’s Day, Dawn Brady wants her son’s killer found

For the past five years, time has stood still for Dawn Brady.

Her son, Drew Molinari, was gunned down May 11, 2015, while working as a clerk at Minniti Motorsports’ former Rostraver Township location.

His murder remains an unsolved cold case.

While time has eased some of the pain of her loss, Brady becomes more frustrated as the years go by without justice for her son.

“When this happened, we never thought in five years we would still be asking the same questions and searching for the same answers,” she said. “We thought it would be solved, that an arrest would have been made, but that has not been the case and time just keeps moving.”

She checks in with Rostraver Township police every month, but there have been no new leads since 2017 when law enforcement officials released distant video surveillance footage which they believe shows the suspect walking into and running from the scene.

Although the new evidence gathered some tips and information, police have continued to run into dead ends.

“Five years, and there is no new information,” Brady said. “We are still playing the same waiting game, waiting for someone to come forward with the missing piece of information police need to arrest the person who did this.”

Every year on the anniversary of his death, Brady and a host of family and friends have a memorial in Drew’s honor.
