It has been reported, in MSM, that when the boyfriend was in town, MT would use his truck to commute to work, so it was not like she needed her family's car every day, just when the boyfriend was out of town. Further reported in MSM is that MT had to be at work for 8 a.m. So brother's text at 7:30 a.m asking if she needed a ride (home? - to mother's house) was S.O.P. of him having her back as the family's shared car was still there at mom's house and Molly was not @ T-30 minutes to her being due at work. The main problem was that MT (God bless her) was too dependable. No answer to his text (in MOO), simply ment, to her brother, that she had already left for work, no problem, it's not like MT is gonna flake out over work. Hey, not his circus, not his monkeys, he had no reason to worry about her safety that morning, not in Brooklyn, IA. He did everything that was expected of him, with what he was reasonably expected to know at the time. AND (drum roll please) if he would have rolled out of bed, and driven over to the boyfriend's house at 7:45 a.m. Nothing, is what he would have found; because the house was (presumably) pristine with the dogs in the basement, as if Molly had left for work that morning. The absolute best, that he could have done then was to call MA's work at 8, 8:15, 8:30, 8:45 and 9:00 a.m. to determine that she did not show up for work, then alert mom to spend the rest of the morning calling MA's phone, the sheriff and hospitals looking for MT. But, he had no reason to do this, as he was not raised in the same urban cultural milieu of paranoia as the rest of us! MOO
