I hope LE is not making a mistake by withholding so much information. Totally worthless press conference!

Is that the boyfriend standing right behind podium?

What a nothing burger! They are trying so hard to keep info away from the public that they will end up losing public interest when they ask for it. IMO

Press conference is over.

DJ looked like he was going to throw up or pass out during the PC.

Yes.

I trust the work of IPS ONLY out of respect of the Tippetts family. In order to get tips, you have to toss out crumbs. In this situation, how would anyone even know they have a tip????

I was wondering this too. Would it not help to say - we think she was last at ***** location, if you saw any vehicles or people there at this time please let us know.

Which makes me think they know her exact path, she is just hidden somewhere by someone, and they need someone to talk to get the evidence they need for an arrest.

I agree until her Dad started to speak and they cut away! Can anyone hear her dad speaking? Fox cut away.

New wife.

He said it as I posted... of course Thanks!

 

[Weeobanite]

Interesting camera angle this time! Annoying we couldn’t hear her dad.

 

[Flowercb]

Interesting that when the red shirt being found was mentioned, the officer said he didn't know anything about that. You can guarantee he does!

Again we learned nothing new or helpful in news conference in regards to the investigation....UNLESS they are waiting on test results and string us along till all the parts are in place...
I wonder what happened at the pig farm? wonder if the fit bit could have been thrown out of a car? I still feel its a local person....I missed question to LE about pig farm (PF) and reaction. If the PFarmer stalked her and offered her a ride...and hurt her he would have dumped her body away from the farm..like in river, or ravine. Deep River seems plausible.

Is that the boyfriend standing right behind podium?

Yes the boyfriend was there. I didn’t see Mollie’s brothers there. Probably had to work.

Officially lost faith in this LE. I’ve never once watched a case where the LE would give zero information...timeline, tip info, literally anything. The media got smart trying to get the father up there you could tell he was frustrated and trying to control himself. Either LE has evidence that she left on her own or I have lost any faith in them with regards to this investigation. I can honestly see this case dragging on for years with no conclusion from LE unless a good tip comes through. I really wonder if she left on her own accord at this point.

I turned it off after getting so frustrated. I guess I should have listened to the entire thing.

You can watch a re-play here

God I hope they are telling MT's family more than is being shared. I sadly don't know if this is the case. Gut wrenching for them.

Rob Tibbetts said they have a daily briefing but don't get any details of the investigation or WTTE. What they do get is more like "We're working very hard. We're getting hundred of leads" yadda yadda yadda.

 

[PommyMommy]

HLN is giving a recap.

 

[Madison418]

I still can't determine the point of these press conferences. My dad (LE) indicated it could be to dispel rumors but they aren't confirming or denying anything. The only thing I can think is that they know they are dealing with a sophisticated perp and are getting close and giving anything away would jeopardize finding her
