Remember a while back that it was reported that the investigators had taken security footage from Caseys gas station in town? That to me indicates that they think the perp may have driven some distance on the way into Brooklyn, IA.
That coupled with the statements about "who was in town that night" and the fact that LE is sharing no information at all and other comments they've made tells me that they know who it is, and it's somebody close to Mollie who had to drive into town from a long enough distance that they may have needed to refuel when they arrived.
I believe he dropped her off after work. They shared the car so maybe he needed the car that night and she might have been staying home to study. This is just conjecture as we don't have any info.Anyone know where she was dropped off from? Or where her brother went after (why not leave the car with her for the night, if he knew she’d need it the next morning?)
Rookie mistake if you’re knowingly committing a crime
Me too. Because if she made it home after her run, where are her dirty running clothes? No doubt she would have taken them off to shower as soon as she got home. As silly as DM can be sometimes, this article finally seems to give us some answers!!!
I can't find the video but if the cops said something like, "Her boyfriend is 'currently' not a suspect." - they can obviously go back on that. If they said, "He's completely ruled out" then yeah. It's closed.You did and are exactly correct. However, LE is sometime ambiguous with statements to the public that are sometimes misleading. Like, "she was last seen wearing her running gear." Is that what they think she was still wearing because they know if the running gear was in the laundry at the house or is gone? Another is "we can't tell you why she is missing" - is that they don't know or they are choosing not to tell?
So, they don't lie but you have to listen to their statements carefully.
BF was cleared by LE. Think discussion is offlimits. Would hate to have thread closed.I was wondering also about the boyfriend after I saw him on the news the other day, and then today on whatever news I was listening to they said that someone was not cooperating by submitting to a lie detector test. No clue who they were talking about - I am not caught up on the details of this case yet.
How could Mollie vanish without a trace?
Mother of missing Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts says she does not believe she returned home | Daily Mail Online
"It was reported that a red t-shirt linked to Mollie's job had been found, but her mom says her daughter owned two of those shirts and they are both in her room."
Kudos and huge thumbs up to the DM (a UK publication) for actually getting some interesting information. DK why local and Iowa press couldn't do the same thing? Very strange indeed.
Police don't lie to the media?
Really?
Prime example:
Police: "We are not treating this incident as a terror-related attack. 1-2 days later. Police: "It was a terror attack."
I can't find the video but if the cops said something like, "Her boyfriend is 'currently' not a suspect." - they can obviously go back on that. If they said, "He's completely ruled out" then yeah. It's closed.
My guess is yes but we clearly DK. But I do know DM has $$$ to pay when necessary to get the scoop and they can be relentless. Anyone have any deets on the person working for the DM that wrote the article as he now seems to be local. Could certainly make the coverage a bit more interesting to say the least.Whether they paid for it or not, they got more info than anyone else has.
It's entirely possible that the intent was not to commit a crime until it happened in a heat-of-passion moment.
Yes, I see her going for her jog, returning home for some HW, and then to her moms. No need to change prior because she had plans to eat at moms and shower at moms. IMO

You might be right. Hope whatever they are doing is in the best interests of finding MT!I get the impression the local news organisations and Iowa news are probably working with local law enforcement to some extent and are not publishing what they don’t want publicly known. A large international media organisation like the Daily Mail won’t be.
