Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 #10

Boyfriend of missing Iowa college student says 'it gets harder day by day'

“She's not going to run off," Jack said in an interview. “I try not to speculate on it too much because the only thing that comes into your head whenever you're not investigating all the facts is that something bad happened and you don't, I personally don't want to believe that."

Dad said LE not sharing info with family and one reason is that a loved one or family member might be implicated in the crime.

I paraphrase this. We'll get a video later to review. .

Sorry—my comment posted at the bottom of the quote but this is super interesting and new info in my opinion. (When snap chat was opened)

I'm still leaning toward a known-person who got to Mollie. I'm thinking the person was in the house initially with Mollie's consent. Total hunch at this point, subject to change.

RSBM - I agree with this.

I saw and posted this yesterday, as well. Honestly, I'm not sure which account to believe. The fact that Morgan (MT's cousin) states that "Dalton fell asleep, and then opened the SC in the morning" lends credence to her account, IMO. She didn't just say "I think the SC was sent at 10pm." She backed it up with an account of how Dalton had fallen asleep, and therefore only opened it after he woke up. JMHO.

This is something that LE definitely knows for sure from the Snapchat records, I believe. They can't get the content but I think they can get the times. See V.b. in this: https://storage.googleapis.com/snap-inc/privacy/lawenforcement.pdf (p. 8)

Christie Paul now interviewing Mollie's father. (HLN) He is not surprised about the amount of the award and how everyone has rallied about Mollie. Believes there is a genuine faith that Mollie is out there and they can get her home.

Would be surprised if she was randomly abducted at this point given how everything has played out. Either it's someone she knew, maybe even casually, or left willingly. A random abduction makes so little sense at this point given what we know.

HLN dad talking, saying all he wants from LE is that they have Mollie

I still think she is in a corn field

Father says, "We're just fighting. And we're fighting with the only tools we have."

"We have one purpose and that's to get someone to come forward."

Wow, I can't imagine much worse than one of your loved ones/family members being harmed, and then finding out that someone else you're close to (biologically or otherwise) being involved in it. I'm speaking in general terms, I'm not accusing anyone here.

I can only think that the cousin misunderstood the bf about the snap.

 

[HoldySi]

Why does this case feel so different? What has led to the huge reward and the family's plea for her safe return? I feel like this is straight from the movies and very rarely real life! Is it because there is absolutely no evidence of what happened? Is it maybe because the parents keep pushing it even though LE know how unlikely it is? OR could it be that family/LE know something we don't?! What is going on here!?!?

Starting to sound more and more like it was an accident with a cover up. .

 

[PommyMommy]

Father, when asked if Mollie is watching, "Hang in there, pie. We're coming."

 

[fraudqueen]

I'm so impressed by this family and how they're holding up.

<modsnipped> Also that she feels MT with her.

Very much so noted this and will try not to read too much into it. Seems a wise move in general from an investigative standpoint.

Dad says they raised all that reward money in one day
