True, but, typically, those with time management skills and a list of tasks to accomplish are not going to run in circles for 45 minutes and then run or walk to get the car at sunset, all on an empty stomach when there's homework to do, dogs to look after, and prep for the next day of work.

One would expect that Mollie would combine jogging with collecting the car. It makes the most sense in terms of time management and ensuring that she's ready for the next day.

I would, then again I only sleep 2hrs a night haha. There were times when I was training for a 191mile relay I would run 3x a day for 6+ miles at a time. What was I thinking ...
 
Pence was in Iowa to promote tax cuts, he became aware of the case and decided to meet with the family. This, and the FBI presence in this case, is IMO, not indicative in any way, of some broader connection to something much darker, like a serial killer and potential connection to other cases. The FBI is there because local LE needed their manpower and technical expertise. Pence was already there and chimed in. I take these things at face value, and do not find them odd.

Something I’ve not heard discussed, and of course it very well could have been. Apologies if so. Such a quickly moving discussion. And because I don’t have much more to add to the scenario during and after her disappearance. What about before 5:30? Just to look at her routine. Did she have the car all day? If so, she’d have had to pick her brother up somewhere. Does he have a job? Did she pick him up at work? Or did she go to her mom’s to pick him up? Or did he pick her up at, say what? 5:00 when she’d finished work? Then he drops her off at 5:30, she takes care of house and dogs, leaves for a run with the intention of picking up the car for the next day and same scenario with brother?

I hope I do not offend anyone here, because that is not my intention what so ever......just reading and following this story since it's development.....reading online news, etc......someone in earlier posts here.....stated that something else is going on....something bigger than we know anything about.

I just think it is awfully strange....that a small town girl (no matter how popular and sweet) living a normal life.....bf, family, college, jogging, church, working with children.....involved in many normal activities.....her disappearance causes the VP of the USA to make a visit with family.....not that the family is below receiving acknowledgement, help, etc.....I just take it as weird or strange. It makes me suspicious in other words.

I wouldn't read too much in to that VPOTUS visit, except maybe this:

Iowa gained statehood in December 1846. ... While a battleground every four years, Iowa had sided with the Democrats in six of seven elections from 1992 through 2012. That changed dramatically in 2016, when Donald Trump won the state by nearly 9.5%, a 15 point swing from 2012 when Barack Obama won the state by 5.8%.

Yes, politicians politicize (read: exploit) *everything*.

IIRC, her brother dropped her off
 
Ot but I am sure Pence was in Iowa anyway...not a special trip to meet Mollie’s dad. Iowa is a red state as far as I know and the praying bit would appeal...

I have my doubts as to Mollie being more than 20 or so miles out from town, if she is deceased. There must be lots of isolated turnoffs in any direction. I really wish LE would ask that entire region to search their lands carefully. I think she is out there. After such a bold (presumably) act of abduction, the perp may have used up a lot of his “rush” and might fear being caught with her in his vehicle if he drove too far. Also her chances of escaping or attracting attention would be higher the longer she was alive in his vehicle. Jmo
