If correct 15 miles is a long way to run past a pig farm from the point of the house. Especially in the heat.
Exactly. Phone/Fitbit tossed there or MT transported there via vehicle?

Too bad one of her co-workers doesn't post here. The issue with the red shirt could be resolved quickly and easily. Mom did state that both Mollie's red shirts were in her room, but also stated that she couldn't rule out the existence of a 3rd red shirt. A co-worker could answer if new shirts had been given out for this specific field trip.
Dear kkdj,
My thought is that Mollie's Mom reached the point of despair and has refused to stay there. She's turned from despair into "resilience" and her behavior has changed. That's why she gave the interview, in my opinion.
I think she will continue to be more vocal.
Just my opinion.
Dear Pixie Dust,
I believe that law enforcement have cautioned everyone to stay silent about what they know, co-workers, etc.
Otherwise, people who want to help by relaying what they know certainly would have by now. They have been advised that any information could be vital to this investigation and the best way they can help - is to keep facts to themselves.
There is such a tight lock on the information the authorities have.
I really think co-workers, etc. have been interviewed and heavily cautioned not to divulge anything.
That is the only reason I can think of as to why we are hearing statements from co-workers, etc.
Thank you.Good morning fellow sleuthers!![]()

This thread will close in 10 minutes.
Thanks for responding. When I said skilled or masterful, I was thinking adept/proficient...in that they left the house unscathed by any sign of struggle. I do agree the presence of a gun could lead someone to comply in a way that didn't leave evidence of a struggle (tho I am sure we all like to hope she would still struggle and be somewhat aware that it'd be better to struggle against a gun then get into a vehicle and be taken elsewhere).Happy Good Morning all!
I wanted to reply to you yesterday but the thread was locked.
When it comes to skill to force someone to comply it might only take a person with a gun in his/her hand pointed at you! That may have been the only thing necessary here AND when you factor in that they didn't routinely lock their doors AND even though the house or the street were her last geo points if a person jumped out of a row of corn with a gun, or came up beside her as she ran and pointed a gun. If she was knocked to the ground first by either a car or truck and then faced someone with a gun she would even have been more likely to comply.
When you say Masterful - do you mean imposing? Or were your driving home that the person was adept/proficient?
If a gun or weapon was not used, then I do believe the person responsible for her disappearance was most likely BIGGER- and hence, imposing to Mollie in that instance and afterwards.
All my opinion of course.
I remember early on somebody checked on Strava and I looked at Map My Run and didn't see easily findable (real/ full name) profiles for her on either of those. Not to say she didn't have one and it was private or under a different username or something, but her social media is all under her actual name so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Hello, I'm new here. I've been following this case & thread (as much as one can with 12 posts, 40+ pages each). Just something small that I thought of that I'm sure LE has thought of or looked at..did she use any run apps like Map My Run? Often times, people will post/share their routes on social media...I personally don't but if she did, it would show her start & end points as well as her route. If she regularly ran certain routes (which I believe I heard from media reports) then it would be easy to know exactly where she ran, even where she lived (if one didn't already know). Even if you were just friends with her on SM, this possibility along with other details mentioned about how much she shared publicly on SM, could make it easier for someone to get to know her, her patterns, routines, etc... If the perp was just acquaintance she doesn't interact with regularly, it gives them an "in" and a way to connect with her and she may not be as guarded with someone like that?

- Anyone she is known to have communicated with recently, whether by text, Snapchat, phone call, email, etc.Going over just who LE has probably looked into or interviewed. Mollie's family..dad, mom, brothers, cousins. Residents of the home she is staying in plus their brothers, sisters, family. Neighbors. Electric Workers next door. Workers at the bf's brothers const. company. Town friends. College friends. FB friends. People she worked with. Anybody else you can think of?
"I just had a thought - I wonder if there would have been a reason she did NOT want to go to the fair with the kids the next day? This is bouncing of what you're suggesting, @BessDrew - maybe there was something about that she didn't want and that would encourage her to make an otherwise out-of-character decision to skip out on work that day?
Again again (lol) I think it's highly unlikely, but I think something like that could have led her to make an impulsive choice like going for a ride with someone the night before that she could have even regretted right away but by then it would have been too late. Like, I'll go out and it doesn't matter if it's late because I really don't want to go to the fair anyway.
Which makes me wonder about people she knew would be at the fair who she wouldn't have wanted to encounter.
Another stretch, I know...
