To be very exact, we do not have confirmation of where Mollie went missing from. However we have the address of the house where she is presumed to be "dogsitting" that evening/morning. I started a case map and posted it in the media thread, brb with a link to it. ETA:
IA - MEDIA, MAPS & TIMELINES - NO DISCUSSION - Molly Tibbetts,20, Poweshiek County
We may not have the exact address or Global coordinates but we sure have the town - she was last seen in Brooklyn IA, right? POPULATION 1500 - it has been 12 days! That is close to the number of folks in my HIGH SCHOOL graduating class! I am growing a bit testy about how LE/FBI is handling this case. Did they invite the FBI in but restricted what they could do?
Not a soul places her outside Brooklyn right? She vanished after 5something PM and whenever she was to report to work the next day right? That is the window of time we have.
So anyone, moving about or through Brooklyn IA may be a witness who can help the police.
LE are not releasing all of the information that they know. I am certain that they have a fair bit more information than what is known in the public domain and they will be narrowing down to a conclusion in the next few days.
I detest these sort of posts - sorry - I fully appreciate LE is working along and they can't disclose some details to the public. What I don't understand where this case goes is how the family apparently has been by LE they are waiting for a tip. Both the father and mother have now appeared on camera - and God forgive there is a crime here- their statements almost would lend a sense of relief to an evil soul, wouldn't it?
AND IOWA State Official - not FBI - on camera telling media that they have called more folks in to stamp down rumours. URGH.
This case is just being handled in an odd way to me. Why hasn't there been a press conference with all of the LE agencies standing there shoulder to shoulder with the biggest and baddest in great camera stance sending a strong, loud message they are coming for Mollie - and anyone who has information needs to be finding police before police find them instead!
I keep thinking about the truck stop right between the town and the pig farm...
I keep thinking about her black sports bra and dark shorts, long dark hair either in a ponytail or hanging free -
we don't know yet do we.
Are the people of Brooklyn IA afraid of something?
I apologize for my rant. I just truly hoped when I got home from the gym today there would be real news. OR the FBI would have assumed the lead and there would be something like a graphic with her possible routes, a time line, and most importantly a shredding of all of the rumors to help the public stay on the right page closing with phone numbers to the FEDs directly with tips.
I have a question - these corn fields are hundreds of acres out there right? Are the pig farms that large too?
What drives the economy of that tiny town? And how connected is Brooklyn when it comes to State?
This may be a bit off topic - but with all of the reports and investigations about the leadership and top tier of the FBI I should would appreciate the men in that agency out in IA doing what we know they can do and track down a 20 yr old girl in a town of 1500!
