I’ve racked my brain for a solid 72 on what in the world happened to Mollie Tibbetts. Still back at square 1 with nada. Last night I decided to do a little poking around on the Internet based off of a couple different theories. None of them are cut and dry and have enough holes to be Swiss cheese but trying to look at things from different angles. Some I have already mentioned. I’ll bring over from the last thread.
1. People do go for a walk/run and just vanish. I went to Namus and did a search for women 18-28 who have left for a walk/run and disappeared for the last 15 years in the Midwest area and there’s a lot. Most are still missing or bodies have been recovered but the killer has not been caught. Do I personally think this is the work of a SK, I don’t but honestly you never know. Picture below without names for reference. I’m sure I missed some but will give you an idea.

2. The construction angle. No need to rehash. First post by me below. We discussed for a bit. Might go back through it again. With the Coop and all of the work in the areas surrounding Brooklyn, a big power plant project, I think it should be looked into. Thought about it all day while I was working. Especially when hiring the 15 new guys that I did today. For some reason I can’t get past this but probably because this is my life daily. I think someone working in the area, possibly staying at the hotel off of 80 but the truck stop that has been working around Brooklyn for some time and goes over to eat dinner every night could also learn her patterns if on the road long enough. I’m not sure he’s done it before but probably thought about it and then the job ended. On to another one. Maybe he’s been working at the power plant for some time. At least while MT was on break. He has become obsessed.

3. What if an someone she has known for years in school, not well, enough to recognize saw her while out for her run? Drove in circles, something he/she had been thinking about for some time. Jealous of DJ and wanting to be with MT. Went off to school, followed her on SM and fantisizes about being together. Knew that DJ was out of town, maybe ran into her at Casey’s and she mentioned it the night before. This person sees her running often cause they’re stalking her. Decides that tomorrow is when it’ll happen. Goes to school maybe even at U of I. Has access to date rape drugs. The night before goes back to campus and gets some or even around there. I think GHB (or whatever it is) is fairly easy to get your hands on. IA does have a drug problem. Puts it in a water bottle, pulls up next to MT the next night, when she is out jogging. It’s hot and humid, asks her how she’s doing, offers one of the waters that they claim to have just gotten at the gas station. She’s a nice person so she chats for a minute, mentions how nice that was and chugs it because she is thirsty and it’s hot out. Once she starts to feel lightheaded they offer for her to come sit in the air conditioned car, must be from the heat. Eventually she’s so out of it they can take her anywhere. How much time does this buy them? Never did they imagine the media storm and reward, FBI, the intire country looking for her. Didn’t think it through. Has MT had enough of any psychology classes to get in this persons head? To convince them just to let her somehow reach out to her family to let them know she’s ok? Maybe sent a video but didn’t think about the fact that the FBI is involved. Now freaking out because dad and DJ have been all over the media saying they know she’s alive. Will this person hurt MT out of fear? I feel like there have been hidden messages in the last couple of interviews, even in the PC. Need to think further on this... This seems like a Lifetime movie to me. Not feeling it now. Lol.
4. The one I fear the most. Mollie is no longer with us and there needs to be some grid searches done. A SM frenzy to tell the landowners to search property and look for anything out of the sorts. Personally I’m not here yet. I do think the clock could be ticking.
At the end of the day I have no clue and that’s the honest truth. Hoping LE/FBI is close to finding MT. My heart aches for her family, especially her parents. Sorry for the ramble on. Said I wasn’t going to do that!
