Worley has a history of abducting women: In 1990, he pleaded guilty to attacking and abducting a woman who was riding a bike, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. He was released on parole in 1993.

During their investigation, police feared Worley as a serial offender. Authorities searched Worley’s property for additional remains but did not turn up any.

so they are still working the cases I guess? Wasn't There was a deep freezer with blood saturated carpet on the bottom and blood on the walls? Whose blood was that? Seems they would have tied that to cold cases? I recall there being "trophies" too?

Typically, LE doesn't release many clues to the public -- they try to keep some clues secret that only the perpetrator would know so that they can rule out other suspects; also, some things the family doesn't need to know, at least at first; and LE does not want the perpetrator to know how close or how far LE is from closing in on him/her/them.

Totally. But there’s usually SOMETHING. From a friend or one little bit of anything.

I am originally from Poweshiek County so this case has pretty much taken over my Facebook news feed. It's just heartbreaking. I can't get over it. My fear for Mollie. The agony of her parents. A true nightmare. I know there's a lot of agents out there and I hope to God they have a strong lead. I'm not feeling super confident though...

Welcome JayBlue, and you are among friends here. Prayers, warmth, and support to you and your community.

I mean there’s not even a friend saying anything about if they texted or chatted that night. No one at all is speaking up.
In the first day or two I knew that LE knew more than they tell the public. But the way kids chat nowadays I thought we’d be hearing something more from the brother or some close girlfriends

 

[JayBlue]

If it is a local, they'll get to the bottom of it. No one can fly all the way under the radar in towns this small... I'm sure people are telling the feds about anyone and everyone in the community who seems "off" or has any kind of bad history. There's just not that many leads to chase down in a place like this. I guess that's what worries me most. I wish they'd called the feds in earlier. I have faith in our sheriff but clearly the county lacks tools and resources that were needed here.

I'm just finding out about this case tonight and I'm not too familiar with fitbits other than they count your steps and calories.....

So I read a few articles and they say they are examining data from the fitbit, so my understanding is that the actual fitbit device has not been found, correct? They're just going over the data like they would phone records, right?

I would assume that too. But in this case, who knows if they’ve found it and not her. They are keeping things very quiet. But I would be guessing they tracked it to a last known location?

 

[katydid23]

Actually yes I do. I haven’t seen one piece of evidence to indicate anything bad happened to her. No evidence, no witnesses, nothing. That’s unheard of.

I can understand the other point of view and I can certainly understand why LE has to consider it statistically more likely with each passing day. But until there’s something I can anchor a theory to, I’ve got nothing.

Why would she suddenly leave her job, her family, her friends, her boyfriend, with no explanation?

And why walk out on the responsibility to house sit those dogs? Seems like a rude thing to do.

She has no history of doing anything like that.

Where would she go without cash, a vehicle and her glasses?

Why did her fitbit end, the way that it did? If she voluntarily walked away, wouldn't the fitbit show that movement?

I think the 'evidence' is that she has not communicated with anyone and has not been seen.


AS FOR THE SEEMING LACK OF WITNESSES---it is not at all unheard of. Abductions usually happen when the kidnapper thinks no one is looking. Often they are correct.

OR, a friend of her boyfriends or a friend of the dog owners or the land lord, or a neighbor may have casually stopped by when she was returning from her jog. Told her a believable reason that needed to check the yard or the electrical panel, and BOOM, she is taken, with no witnesses left behind.

I think so. Maybe they did find it, but nothing they have said implies that they did. And like others have said, her device didn't have GPS and would only ping if near to the phone (and phone turned on).

Alright fellow sleuthers, time to rest our minds. Praying for Mollie tonight. Nite

Just to be clear (but maybe you aren’t referencing to my post?), I don’t mean there a lack of witness. I mean a lack of someone saying oh I snap chatted her at 6pm or we texted at 9pm. That’s what I mean. But if you weren’t referencing my post my apologies. But just wanted to make sure I was clear.

I dont think it was the boyfriend for 2 reasons. First, folks back home have really from the start not been worried about him. And the sheriff and FBI cleared him. That's conclusive in my opinion.

 

[JayBlue]

To expand, I mean that they dated for a few years. If he was controlling or aggressive, insecure, etc. Someone would have picked up on it.

I don't suspect the bf one single bit. Never have.

 

[JayBlue]

I just hope they never stop looking till she is found. I know statistically, there's a good chance she may not be alive. But think of Elizabeth Smart, Shawn Hornbeck, Gina DeJesus and the other women held with her, or that girl taken by Phillip Garrido. If that were me, my biggest fear would be that people would presume me dead and stop looking.

From what I gather, she is reliable, responsible and close to her family and friends. And she has no history of 'disappearing' for days at a time with no explanation.

And she has a solid relationship, and a job she wants to keep so she can afford to stay in college.

So she has no history of just walking away from her responsibilities, with no communication for days.

I just don't see any evidence that she left voluntarily.

I thought LE ruled out the boyfriend? He is no longer a suspect from what I read in an article that posted tonight.
