Surely they know who paid by credit or debit card at the car wash that evening. Have they had canines there?

 

[scoodyboo]

So they are talking to family member/partner of suspect via this website. Trying to say, hey, it's ok, just tell us what you know. Now will it work?

Also, The 'teckie' remark struck me,as naive. If I'm a tec h person with info, I probably won't use a website to give my tip.

"don't feel public is in danger" , because no-one in the community did this, everyone and their uncle has been scrutinized.....someone from outside who is long gone and won't be back. IMO
Devastating and so awful...

It’s also possible that LE thinks this was personal, and thus, the public is not at risk.

I was thinking when I saw the easels, we were going to have a pic of the perp. Within the first thirty seconds I felt like a balloon being deflated.

All of that car washing stuff is standard too...stuff that needs to be covered (should have been weeks ago.) it does not mean anything imo,except that everything is still a possibility.

I wish her dad would make an account and come talk to us. It would probably be better than these disappointments from the people in charge.

Well Gitana, you didn't really miss anything -- they gave some tips on noticing any changes in people's habits, etc., to possibly noticing a change that might mean something and to report it to them. They have created a place to report tips, but no new info, as I judge it anyway. Here's the site:

The ex-FBI profiler got it wrong too. She said two canceled pressers was very unusual. Maybe they were issuing warrants and planning to arrest someone.

Three nothingburger pressers is unusual too.

 

[Karay]

I am honestly shocked. I really thought they would have found something after all the looking into her computer, SM, etc. This makes me think that it was either a complete stranger or someone she only vaguely knew, like from high school.

 

[Mom24]

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.

I'm spitting. Four weeks. They waited four weeks to say this? If someone did those things, it was four weeks ago. Spitting mad. Spitting. Four weeks.

 

[HelloThere]

Did anyone catch 'they've carried out searches abroad'?

I think he meant “outside the county” imo

 

[tabitha111]

I don't know...My gut is telling me they have a POI on watch but it might be delicate because of the, lets say for now, "status" of the POI (a few possibilities come to mind)

This is probably going to be a long term case...

Agree 100% I also noticed something significant at the presser but it would violate TOS. I am hoping setting up the website is an effort to either capture an IP address or get someone to confess or snitch on someone else anonymously.

Iowa, as an Iowan sadly, has had numerous such cold cases. Even when bodies were found, perpetrators weren't. Iowans know what I speak of. This is rapidly heading into those realms and that would be a real pity.

People go missing in Iowa and are never found? Get your Son's and Daughters, loved ones out of there!

I just want to say I normally think people are dead right away and generally don’t ever go for sk or anything like that. But I really feel convinced that in this case she was abducted and is being held. And that person may murder her

The only question I have if Mollie was indeed hit, wouldn't they have been able to find that? Her route was pretty much known, I'm sure there would have been blood or hair or SOMETHING from Mollie left on the side of the road, even if the driver had tried cleaning everything up.

People go missing in every state, and are never found. Iowa is not unique, unfortunately.

Sounds like they have no timeline beyond 10pm.....which is the same as a month ago.

 

[mountainguy777]

It’s 2018. Can’t we get a presser where we can actually hear the questions being asked!!!! Pet peeve!!!

 

[shanadk]

Wait! So, if I go to the hair salon, then get my car fixed, I must have hurt somebody?

Are you kidding me. omg smdh
