Finally asking people to let them know if they saw any suspicious person or vehicle in the area when she went missing, and asking people to look out for specific changes in people they know that have occurred since the date of her disappearance.

I’m so angry and frustrated that this took almost 4 weeks to do.

 

[Cardinal47]

Discussing the behavioral changes, should have done that weeks ago, imo. Why now??

Many of us have said that over and over.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Why didn't they say all this before, early in the piece like with Abby and Libby

 

[bellesnwhistles]

HLN just cut it off..

 

[NewMama]

Oh no. This is reminding me so much of the Delphi press conferences.

 

[Toodles5000]

My guess is that her family knows exactly what type lenses she wears and if she wore overnight lenses they would not have mentioned her lenses being left behind. JMO.
Do they still prescribe those? My sister wore those 30 years ago. My lenses can be slept in but my eye doc frowns on it and does not recommend it.

I have worn gas permeable lenses since I was in high school (over 25 years now...!) I have severe myopia (legally blind w/o correction) and soft contacts won't correct my vision to the extent that rigid gas permeable do. They get me to almost 20/20.

Gas perms are not meant to be slept in as there is a high risk of irritating/scratching the cornea.

 

[whitelilac]

they just don't know.......
no persons of interest IMO

 

[bellesnwhistles]

[EmilyVan]

ugh. they need more suspects.

irritability
changes in consumption of alcohol or drugs
changes of sleep patterns
anyone paying unusual close attention to investigation
unwillingness to discuss investigation at all

HLN just cut it off..

I'm still watching?

Also. They have nothing.

ALSO! WE NEED A BETTER TIMELINE.

 

[Suglo]

Oh no. This is reminding me so much of the Delphi press conferences.

Totally! The HLN talking head says they don’t have a single POI.

 

[Love Never Fails]

yes. reminds me of Delphi too. a waste of time for media and us. Why not ask help on first day? It has been almost four weeks. Ugh..

 

[Justice101]

It looks like when there is no prior announcement of a press conference... that is when we will find out more information. They are nearing the point of jumping the shark on pressers.

Need to either have one and give new information... or don't schedule one until you do.

This is not doing much good. Too far removed for people to remember or notice.

 

[Momma2cam]

I am at a conference (with mostly LE and investigators) so can't step out to watch.

I've been thinking about Mollie all day and really hoping for info today. By the sounds of what has been summarized, they are asking for info they should have asked for day 1. I had hoped not asking meant they had someone in mind.
