Stupid post alert:
First of all, let me be clear in stating that I DO think that foul play is most likely in the cause of Mollie's disappearance. But with so little information, my mind is all over the place, so I wanted to absolutely rule out any possibility of a non-foul play scenario. I suspect that these discussions took place in much earlier threads, so forgive me for bringing up any old and outdated discussion. From those who know the area that Mollie ran, like
@Mr. Obvious who just drove through the area, or anyone who knows more about the local searches... Is there ANY possible way that Mollie could have gotten "stuck" somewhere? For example: I know that it rained at some point that night. Is there any possibility that there was a pop up shower that occurred during Mollie's run? A quick downpour that made her seek cover to protect her phone? You are going to roll your eyes at this one...but in one of the last episodes of Grey's Anatomy this season, a couple went into an old shed, and got locked in. So, I guess this is what made me wonder about Mollie seeking shelter, but getting locked in and for whatever reason could not get out, or injured (stumbled into an animal trap). Of course, this kind of scenario is already very far fetched, and would only make sense if Mollie's phone died or did not have a signal when she got into trouble leaving LE unaware of the location. So, basically, for those more familiar with the early searches and the area she runs, I just want to know that this is TOTALLY impossible. Someone chimed in yesterday about a case of a missing runner who was ultimately found locked in a portable toilet, where he'd had a medical emergency (heart related) ending in death. Since there were so few sightings, I don't know if it's possible that she ended up running in a much more desolate area, where there might be odd type shelters in which one might fall into, or get trapped somehow. Obviously, what little LE has divulged does not suggest that they think anything like this could be possible, but as I said, with so little to go on, I guess I just want peace of mind that Mollie isn't being overlooked in an accident type situation pretty close to home. I hate it when I can't resist posting something that I know I will regret posting later. Ugh. I know how ridiculous this post must sound.
Edited to add: Also, in an unrelated way this makes me wonder why LE hasn't made announcements asking locals to check less frequented storage facilities/outhouses on their property like they did in the Hannah Graham case. But maybe they have, and I just haven't heard the reports since I am far from local.
