It’s a possibility. It however, doesn’t change the fact that I’ve spent hours this morning attempting to find ANY mention of a missing child on that date, and have come up with nil. It doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but if it was legit, I cannot find mention of it anywhere.
I don't believe it was ever confirmed. I recall it more like Mollie recently met relatives at her Dad's wedding that invited her to Utah. Perhaps it was the family brainstorming as to where Mollie could have gone if she left on her own and that was most recent event they could recall. Valid enough that Utah was put on alert to her missing. MOO
Because the facts point strongly this direction and appear to be more logical. This scenario (random) is also nearly impossible to solve and to me, that is why it isn’t and most likely won’t ever be solved.
Campus bus and campus security doesn't necessarily make the local police report. Are you checking the correct police department? Iowa City? for University of Iowa.
I don't think anything is off the table in terms of theories at this point. I also disagree with telling someone that a theory can't be discussed or brought up. I think the general consensus many threads ago was that trafficking was a lower probably event due to who MT was as she didn't fit the typical profile BUT I don't think we can say that it is absolutely 'off the table' as a working theory especially given all that we have learned about trafficking in general and kidnapping for hire in the sex trade world. Far fetched, possibly but we simply have so little solid information and when something that appears solid (MT returning home) it is refuted by witness account. The witness accounts have honestly been all over the map so that I am leaning towards them being almost completely fabricated by LE to throw anyone off the trail of what they were up to. Paranoid much, yep I am as so much of what are known 'facts' do not fit together in any logical manner. LE has worked so hard to lock down the info flow in this case that we have been effectively chasing our tails on here with information that makes little sense. Other than the events that we have 'seen' such as LE searches and people stating they have met with LE I would bet good money that very little else that has been published is 'real' in terms of witness accounts or even some family statements and interviews. Taking a break and a breath as I think we might have been 'played' by LE in this one.
It's certainly everyone's choice to form their own opinions based on the facts and conflicting reports. No one heard from Mollie in the morning, she didn't pick up her shared car, and was last seen in jogging attire with earbuds, and her phone. My opinion is that she never returned to her boyfriend's house that night, or she had just arrived.
Also there are apps to help you locate a missing Fitbit. They work through Bluetooth. I lost my Fitbit once and could tell it was close because it was syncing with my phone. The app let me to my coat closet wher my Fitbit was at the bottom of my recycle bin. I am sure the app could be used on any device.
