This is nothing short of an absolute tragedy, and I can’t even imagine the pain Al Toon and his family must be going through right now.
The entire Toon family is sports royalty in Wisconsin. Al was an NFL star, his son Nick was a dominant receiver for Wisconsin and Molly played volleyball for Michigan.
Now, at the age of 28, she’s been murdered. A life with so much potential was just snatched away in a senseless act of violence.
