Help—I must be blind. I don’t see the quote you have written here at this link. Did they edit it out?
I'll have to look for a link to it, but I'm sure LE said that they searched them because of something on SM. I know the person quoted was upset about the waste of resources and again asked that people stop spreading rumors on SM. MOOWhy would they lie about that? The owner of the farm told LE that 7 investigators searched his home and property. They took photos and kept his cell phone overnight to download the data.
One of the better articles with true local detail. Interesting about the hardware store being vandalized.Apparently a hardware store was vandalized that night. I’m sorry if this is old news.

Strange...they must have. ? When I copy/paste the quote into google, it still brings up that article but I don't see it in the article anymore. I guess we weren't supposed to know that.![]()
Yeah. I have no idea what prompted the search. I was just disputing the “ruse” aspect.Not saying they didnt have a clue or reason to search the farm, i'm reasoning it wasnt the result of the fitbit. They identified the ping from the fitbit over the phone, why?
I’m thinking Tara Grinstead- Robbery..Although extremely early to make any comparisons, this reminds me of the Jennifer Kesse case in Florida. Young female living alone, disappears at some unknown point (presumable at night, early morning), and there is no evidence inside the dwelling of a struggle. It is really frustrating and sad that there is such little evidence to work with.
There was an article posted that stated the search was a result of the fitbit ping. Could be poor reporting, though.Not saying they didnt have a clue or reason to search the farm, i'm reasoning it wasnt the result of the fitbit. They identified the ping from the fitbit over the phone, why?

RSBM. This is a really good thought! Definitely depends on the version of the Fitbit but makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if the media were just using the term "ping" incorrectly and it was something like this.BBM.
I don't know for sure, but I wonder if it was just easier to get the information? For the phone GPS information, maybe they needed to wait for the phone company or someone else to cooperate. If her Fitbit tracked her running route and synced to her phone, it might just all be right there for their examination via the website/app it syncs to.
This link seems to still have the bit about the general store: Mollie Tibbetts' disappearance a 'total shock,' Iowa residents say
A pig farmer said seven FBI investigators arrived at his home last Friday and asked to search it without a warrant. They were there for nearly two hours, taking photos of the interior of the home and also searching his garage. He said investigators then asked to interview him off the property and kept his cell phone overnight to check his records. The farmer has not been charged with a crime and said he “has nothing to hide.”

I don't interpret this quote as saying the search was the result of social media, but that the search itself was discussed extensively on social media as it happened and after it happened. JMO.It's here: Mollie Tibbetts: 'We follow through on everything,' investigators say of search
"There was nothing of investigative value last night that was discovered with the search," Mortvedt said. The search was the subject of speculation Wednesday and Thursday on social media.

Out of the mouth of Dalton James (boyfriend)...
Jack said he opened a Snapchat around 10 p.m. Wednesday from Tibbetts, where she was back inside dog-sitting. (BBM)
When she didn't show up to her job on Thursday morning, he knew something was wrong.
"She hadn't called in,” said Jack. "I looked at my phone and noticed I texted her good morning that morning and she hadn't looked at it. So I got ahold of her friends and family."
