Yes they were going door to door and have interviewed tons of people. That was part of the published reasoning for calling off the volunteer searches - getting people home to be interviewed.I don't remember seeing anything about neighbors being interviewed in any of the news reports. Anyone else?
If phones ping regardless of incoming / outgoing calls or texts, then when did her phone stop pinging? What is the last ping LE would be looking at?
Mollie's mother.So who was it that mention the stuff about the red shirt first
That depends on how many towers are close by. If there are at least 3 close enough to ping, her location can be triangulated with 100 ft. (I think, but Paul can probably tell you the right distance if I'm off.)Also, the pings only tell you which tower she was nearest. They don't tell you exactly where she was obviously. If she was in her house, or outside her house or a mile away, all of these locations would ping the same, i.e., would ping the same tower.
I used to love running in the dark. Until I joined Websleuths.Wait a second. Something I just thought about. Yes we know Mollie went jogging early evening but what if after she closed up her homework and sent the picture to her boyfriend she decided to go for another run? When I ran I loved running in the dark. It was so quiet and so still. Maybe.
Here’s an article that says it was a ride home from work the brother was texting about: Disappearance of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts remains a mystery
I agree--but I feel suspicious of this unnamed person. Why wouldn't he be on the timeline saying: "I stopped by the house, leaned on the horn and waited, tried texting her, and finally decided she'd gotten a ride with someone else."
As I said elsewhere, a plausible explanation would be that they were on a "I'll call you if I need a ride" basis. But that idea points back toward the break from normality taking place on the previous evening.
If there were residents in that blue house weren't elderly and deaf, they should've heard maybe screaming, dogs barking at the minimum, when Mollie was abducted.Why didn't they report anything?Here is a picture of the house and the interior. Seems really dark to me. The windows look pretty high up.
She could stand on the porch in the rain and let the dogs out. They could also run up onto the porch when they were ready to come in.
The house next door seems really close.

There was a county fair the next day. I’m guessing to stand out and they don’t lose each other, the kids and staff. I used to work in summer camp. When we went on field trips and such, kids and staff dressed in shirts with camp’s logo on it.How did the family know that Mollie was supposed to wear her red shirt on Thursday? Does the day camp take a field trip every Thursday?
