Date she was found 8/21 (not 7/21/18).
Mollie C. Tibbetts
May 8, 1998 - August 21, 2018
I agree in fact he looked to me like he was aggravated. He has problems psychologically with direct eye contact.I didn't think he looked scared at all, un less it was an intentional act to appear so. He looked cold as a stone, with no emotions whatsoever. His lack of eye contact and other body language does not imply shame, it implies deception. I did not detect fear at all, and if he is fearful, it is because he got caught.
I think this is true. I made the same mistake when I saw the car. I made the assumption it was a Malibu because of the spoiler on the back...malibu being a sportier model then an impala back in the day. A mistake LE themselves may have made when they viewed the car on the video.The car in the photo appears to be an 00-05 Chevy Impala. It could look like a 08-11 Chevy Malibu, however the distance from wheel well to bumper is longer in a Impala.
Is LE wrong that the suspect was driving an Impala and not a Malibu?
It is definitely a type of mental illness but not one that absolves you from a crime. My sister was diagnosed as a sociopath prior to her trial and she was still found guilty.Is psychopathy considered a mental illness? What category does it fall into?
FWIW, my unfortunate experience with a narcissist/sociopath is that the 'shame' is really about being exposed to others for what you are. These people are obsessed with a fantasy image of themselves.
They're paying a couple local reporters to work the case. They continue to put out the best work on this case imo.
The rest of the site still looks like a cesspool, a bunch of celebrity stuff, but they've put out so many great in depth stories about this case. Very impressed.
Should I assume that the mother of his child has been extensively interviewed? Especially if she was still living with him at the time of Mollie’s abduction? She would certainly be able to offer info about him and his whereabouts and demeanor then. Alibi/no alibi, did she do his laundry...
I just watched the First 48 and there was a case with a crime scene mapping specialist who overlaid the victim and the murderer’s cell phone pings and showed the where/when of the crime and then the movements of the murderer after the fact.
I carry one all the time, it's more durable and less expensive than a folding knife and changing the blade when it gets dull is much easier than sharpening one regularly.
My guess is that the "sharp instrument" was either a folding knife, utility knife, or hunting knife that he regularly has with him and was just handy if the attack were sudden and unplanned. If this was something he was planning it could be anything.
But the idea that he just happened to be carrying a machete or a hatchet because he worked for a farm is ludicrous, IMHO.

JonBenet Ramsey's parents used Dec 25, even though that was when she was found deceased, and it most likely happened on the 24. In a situation like this, I don't fault the parents...do whatever makes you feel better.August 21? Thats interesting. I guess they didn't really know what date to use so they just used the date she was found.
LE said he said he "blocked his memory" (not blacked out, per se, but that's how it's been referred to alot here and on MSM) between coming upon her running and "coming to" in his car, seeing an earbud in his lap, and that making him realize he had someone in the trunk of his car. Not that he blacked out the whole entire evening, nor where he disposed of her body.Ok, say he “blacked out” — How is it then possible he led investigators back to her “by memory”? -As per the Affidavit.
I continue to hold the opinion that the killer in his rage whacked off the corn stalks.Corn stalks bend near the ground very easily. One wouldn't have to cut it at all.

Something kind of interesting that I just noticed on the arrest warrent. The time range of the incident is listed as 07-18-2018 19:45 - 20:28.
19:45 could be a general time, but 20:28 is kind of specific. I wonder how they came up with that time. Something must have happened at 8:28. Maybe that was the time her phone stopped pinging.
