I agree, there are many exceptions, especially when it comes to some serial killers. I'm just talking about what is more likely, not what is possible.regarding MassGuy post # 181:
I agree--except there is usually torture/power involved with the murders
from my readings on serial killers, they keep the victim alive for torture/power/sex/etc--killing them '''quickly''' being a few hours to days, if I recall correctly
examples:
Hillside Stranglers-much torture
Randy Kraft--much sadistic torture
etc
where as the people that keep the victims '''just'' for sex don't murder--generally speaking
examples:
MDevlin where they found not one but 2 abducted boys!!
One search, two boys found: The Missouri Miracle 10 years ago
Elizabeth Smart
Ariel Castro abductions
etc
question:Despite the sizable rewards, detectives have not found the person who shot Deputy Chris Reyka outside a Walgreens in Pompano Beach on Aug. 10. They also have not tracked down the killer of Nancy Bochicchio and her daughter, Joey Bochicchio-Hauser, who left them in their idling SUV at the mall on Dec. 12.
Still, investigators of both cases consider big rewards an important way to generate attention and leads. They said any shred of information could be a tipping point in these hard-to-solve cases.
Someone mentioned a similar scenario last night. My problem with that is most vandals are simply going to run away. Depending on the amount of damage, vandalism can be a misdemeanor. It doesn't make a lot of sense to commit a violent, and probable deadly felony, to cover up something so minor. This is especially true with the alternative of simply disappearing into the night.on the previous thread, some were mentioning the vandalism possibly related to mollie's disappearance. while i think vandalism to murder is a bit of a stretch, it got me thinking about this concept as a bigger picture: maybe mollie witnessed something she wasnt supposed to either along her run, outside between the house and the co-op or an errand/some other reason she left the house we arent yet aware of (such as caseys or true hardware)....maybe she came across a fight between two people or saw someone(s) doing something nefarious....
i dont think its the most likely, just another scenario to contemplate
Authorities say they have ruled out the possibility that a body found in rural Lee County is that of Mollie Tibbetts, a University of Iowa student who went missing July 18.
Body of a white woman in her 20s discovered in rural Lee County is not Mollie Tibbetts, officials say
I’m really glad the body is not Mollie’s but I send sincere condolences to the young ladies family

Ok my guess is someone knew she was at that house alone. Either someone her boyfriend or parents told or she posted on social media that she is there alone. She got home safe from jogging so what else could it be?
You couldn't have said it better!We're all in the same boat. We've had limited information which has leant itself to endless possibilities.
It just goes over how Snapchat works (sending picture messages that expire after seen, what the company that owns Snapchat keeps in their database, etc). It mentions about how it may not be as useful as having Facebook or Instagram data and that it's better to have the actual cell phone to see what towers it pings to.There is a new Des Moines Register article entitled "What Snapchat can and can't do to help," but I've reached my limit of 10 free articles and can't view it. Has anyone else read it and is there anything useful there?
We don't for sure. There have been indications however that there is digital evidence of her doing homework at a time period that would have followed the jog. This has not been confirmed be LE however.How do we know she got home safe from jogging?

They keep the case in the media, which is critical

Where does the dogs poop at and was there enough poop that shows she was probably missing for a really long time?
