Can you please refer us to the source of Mollie posting her bf only has 4 days left to love her? Was it 4 days before he was leaving town for work (I hope, meaning short term separation?)

It says what you think it says.

Yes please.

I have no idea, that was an actually a dumb post. I wish I knew what they thought.

The theories about when M disappeared as baffling as to what happened to her.
Theory #1: She was taken while jogging.
Support: She was seen jogging, heading east, but no return.
Support: Nothing has been noted that located her jogging top or short.
Support: Online reference (somewhere) asking if her mother had the ingredients for cookies.
Support: She asked what was for supper.
Support: She usually got the car from her brother the night before. Was she going to her mother's house?
Theory #2: She was taken later in the evening or morning.
Support: Supposedly she used her computer for homework. Was she taking an online class?
Support: Boyfriend got a Snapchat from her around 10:00p,

So, what's the story? Where did she disappear? I used to inline skate and still bicycle. The absolutely first thing I do is to take a shower when I get home. Wouldn't she be sweaty and sticky? Where were her shorts and top? Wouldn't she have let out the dogs right after returning home?

Great point!

On a farm where families and friends gather? What??

Never been to a farm? Usually, big operations like this, in small town USA where teen boys and girls live or work are popular hang outs for BBQs, Friday night fire pits....hang outs etc.

Maybe I have a different outlook since I grew up in a small town. It was common to spend a lot of time on other peoples farms, as teens, young adults and now as adults. Farming is a community event, even for big time farms.

LOVE THIS. haha. People don't understand Iowa Nice until they encounter it.

I was raised with "Wisconsin Nice". Same basic thing.

 

[mountainguy777]

Yes please.

What happened to the days where media would be talking to everyone in town in a case like this? It’s just crickets chirping now.

I thought I read somewhere that the bf, his brother and brothers fiancé were allowed back in the house. Do you think that would be allowed shortly after she disappeared if there was a potential to find evidence in there?

The house was first searched by the residents (prior to missing notice to police), and police searched with warrant, and returned the property to them shortly thereafter. Your speculation is correct. IMO, it confirms there was no indication that Mollie was taken forcibly by an intruder from the property. Also, from the beginning, there was local chatter that there was no evidence that Mollie slept in the house on 7/18. All unconfirmed by LE.

Does anyone wonder what the local people think? Just curious.

The mood on the ground here is as varied as the opinions you see on this board. The only consensus is hoping for the best while fearing the worst. There is definitely a heightened sense of awareness.

@razzledazzle
Mollie refers to asthma in her Youtube lecture.

It is why IMO, WC sticks out so much. There is just no noise, crickets or otherwise and the media seems to be ok with that.

Does Mollie have asthma? I must have missed that.

She briefly mentioned it on one of her social media posts.

Might be time to split the reward based on different critieria for collecting.

 

[PommyMommy]

I must have missed the article, do we know for sure the fitbit was found on his property?

There was no article and we know of nothing that was found on his property. A red shirt was found in a field near his property, which may or may not be Mollie's.

Where did Mollie say this?

Someone else posted this link. This is where I saw it. https://vsco.co/mollietibbetts/images/1

she mentions it a lot in the video.

• The County has a lot of Deputies!Deputies
  

12 officers is not a lot to patrol 585 sq miles. That's probably about three officers per shift. My guess is that the state and the FBI are handling the investigation. The Deputies are probably just providing search services.

Except for the fact that she says nothing about him only having 4 days to love her...she says he only has 4 days of leaving her before work. Not the same. At all.

 

[brobi25]

She posted a screenshot of a text on her VSCO account. No dates though. I thought she meant 4 more days until he was leaving for work. She said leaving not loving.

Not sure if someone already said this, but that picture was posted in January of 2018.

 

[LarryLujack]

Looking at some of her social media accounts she appears unhappy at times, lost, unsure about herself and her life. Maybe I am misinterpreting things but I do not get the feeling she was ready to get married, or even perhaps be in a serious relationship.
