Here’s what bothers me... by now LE certainly should know whether Mollie made it home or not. They’ve had plenty of time and access to enough records to establish when her electronic trail ends. If she never made it home from her run they should feel confident enough to call this an abduction. At a bare minimum they should publicly confirm that previous speculation that she was home later in the evening is false. How could it possibly hurt the investigation to confirm Mollie didn’t leave voluntarily? Unless she did.
I have believed from the beginning that this was the case. It seems that it has been discounted because it was not verified by LE, at least to us, but I believe the original reports that she WAS doing hw until late in the evening, may very well be the case. Especially if this was a local cop, which I think it was. That would explain him saying something he at first didn't know was not supposed to be revealed. We don't know what time the sc was sent. Since she was texting him earlier, it would make sense that she sent the sc later.it was pouring rain that night. A perfect time not to be seen.Has anyone noticed that our conversations here at WS have all shifted to a scenario where Mollie never returned from her run? I still believe she made it home from her run, and maybe that’s why I have problems with all this talk of how somebody could incapacitate her and snatch her off the street. Has anything yet contradicted earlier speculation that Mollie was in the house doing homework later in the evening?
I'm not convinced that she was going back to DJ's right away. She needed to pick up the car at her mom's, and dinner there was an option. So I am on the fence about that, maybe leaning more in the direction of DJ's because of LE's red areas. The area near her mom's house is not one of the five areas of interest. I think it's more probable that she was abducted at the end of her run when she was cooling down (walking). But if she did make it back to the house, I don't think she was there very long. I think she did her homework between 5:30 and 7:30. MOOHas anyone noticed that our conversations here at WS have all shifted to a scenario where Mollie never returned from her run?

Homework? Snapchat DJ? (Sure would be nice to know what she was wearing in that snap.)
Find something to eat? Take a shower? (But then why are the running clothes missing?)
Answer a knock on the door?
Leave the house again? (To walk to mom's for the car?)
I don't really have the answers but I keep remembering the dad's statement about how they "sorta know what happened, sorta know how it happened, sorta know where it took place, but there is no why, it makes no sense." That statement coupled with his other statements lead me to believe she got in a car and left with someone. Maybe before she actually made it back inside the home.
I think that the pinned tweet is very odd and suspicious for a couple reasons and I'm starting to think it was a ruse by the cop or the perp posing as a cop to get her name and information.
MT says the cop told her someone called in and reported her as a missing child.
- Was there in fact a missing child with a pink coat? If so, how did this 3rd party who called her in hear about it? And why wouldn't they themselves approach her and ask if shes OK? Was there an Amber Alert? Or, did someone see her and just assumed she was a lost child? But I can't think of a legit reason why someone would assume a child getting off a bus and going into a library would mean she's a missing child. MOO
Meaning she may be alive, but Not held against her will?If those were the only two possibilities that would certainly be true.
Since she called her mom at around 7:30 and never made it to her mom's for dinner, she might have grabbed something quick to eat (involving little or no preparation) in the kitchen, sat down still in her jogging clothes with fitbit still on at the table, snapped a quick snapchat picture and sent it to her boyfriend, put her phone back in her pocket, and then proceeded to work on a homework assignment involving reading, research, or something that didn't involve listening to audio while listening to her music (I always listened to music while doing homework in college). Maybe she planned to bring the dogs back upstairs and take a shower just before going to bed.
While she was doing her homework there may have been a knock at the door and someone known or somewhat known to her convinced her to come outside and get in a car with them, or an intruder or intruders let themselves in and she was overpowered and carried out of the house.
I posted this once before, but it bears repeating. What each person would do after a run is different. I would immediately remove my shoes because I never wear shoes indoors. Someone else might immediately take a shower. Another person would just throw a towel over a favorite chair and sit for a few minutes. What would Mollie have done? We don't know. Maybe she would send DJ a snap, throw on a shirt, and then start walking to her mom's. Although she could have showered and changed at her mom's as well.I feel that she was at home when things happened. I can't come up with a scenario of what might have happened, especially when all of her running stuff is missing too. Though I know when I carried mail in the hot summer, I didn't always shower as soon as I got home. I liked to cool down thoroughly before I jumped in the shower.

True, and who is to say she wasnt still wearing those things when she was on the computer that night? Rather, if. Maybe she was planning on showering right before going to bed, and never had the chance.I feel that she was at home when things happened.

OMG! Thank you!Police do know whether she made it home from jogging. They have revealed that last known information police have about Mollie occurred during the time that she was jogging.
Mollie is a missing person. Without a crime scene, police cannot state that this is an abduction. Police cannot even suggest that she may no longer be alive until a body is found.
"Although we have not ruled out any scenario that could explain Mollie’s disappearance, we must consider the possibility that foul play is involved. Individuals who commit violent crimes often exhibit behavior that is recognized by those with whom he lives, works, attends school, or is in an otherwise close relationship with."

Questions that police have directly relate to identifying a violent offender.

OMG! Thank you!She didn't communicate after she was seen jogging, so no snapchat. She didn't shower either, because her cell phone and fitbit are missing. Why wouldn't she jog to her mother's house?
Didn’t they say she was doing homework in the late evening?Doing homework requires Mollie to make two secure logins to her university accounts. The last communication from Mollie, which include electronic logins on a computer, was when she was jogging.
She did not do homework after she went jogging.
