Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 #30

I really think she made it back from her jog too. I am trying to think of a scenario now to explain HOW, but haven't figured one out yet that will work.

One eyewitness account has me a bit curious: the eyewitness claimed to have seen MT casually walking by his property, she wasn't jogging/running at that point. The eyewitness also mentioned MT "had a cell phone", but did not clarify whether she was using it at the time or simply had it on her person. I believe this sighting has been discussed before but I want to offer this speculation:

At the point when MT was walking could she have stopped jogging because a someone stopped (in a vehicle) to engage her or someone walking in the same area and she was stopping to speak with them? The eyewitness offered no other information (publicly) regarding vehicles or other walkers/joggers/runners in the immediate area or time frame.

RP? What does that stand for? Although I doubt this was Mollie....

 

[MsBetsy]

Nope. Not saying anyone is superhuman or unusual compared to other people. Just saying that even if she has been abducted and treated horribly, people can recover from that and many have from unimaginable things. They cannot, however, recover from death. Ever.

I think the point she was trying to make was that just because she had a background in psychology, and a strong support system doesn't make her more resilient than anyone else. She wasn't implying one scenario was better than the other.

where are the post #s located?

If you're reading on your phone, post numbers only show up in landscape view, not portrait.

We know from the last press release that the police map is points of interest in relation to Mollie's abduction, not pings.

Two of the points are farmland; they must have some specific information on those two points.

 

[cody22]

It could be a conversation that's been overheard between her and her boyfriend.

Word of mouth by someone or observation, if someone was listening/stalking her for an opportunity ?

I think the youngest son is a HS Senior.

Per this article on KCCI:
Mollie Tibbetts’ dad goes home month after her disappearance
"Mollie Tibbetts’ brothers moved into college this week -- a somber moment because they passed by where she was going to move in. "

My guess was Reporting Person but then it immediately says 'she'....

Does anyone else find it highly unlikely that MT just happened to be abducted on a run that she takes almost everyday, at the one time that she was staying at a house alone. I think it’s probably far more likely that it was by somebody that had direct knowledge of her being home alone. I think LE knows where and when she was abducted, but don’t have any direct evidence as to which person in her life is responsible. I think the damning detail is probably at there fingertips. In other words they have the edges and the corner pieces of the puzzle, but can’t seem to find those elusive middle pieces that tie it all together. Just where I stand in my thinking right now. What do others think?

Agree. I think it was somebody she knew or somebody who "knew" her.

This was called in yesterday morning at 8:19, so I am guessing that the caller had just seen that, and not just remembered that she had seen it a month ago. I highly doubt that someone would be brazen enough to parade a healthy Mollie around in a moving truck 50 miles from where she disappeared, with most of the state of Iowa probably aware of what she looks like. And FWIW, 400K could make some people see the Energizer Bunny hopping down the highway on a pogo stick, if someone was willing to pay for that info. JMO

If I see one more "It may have been posted" haha

Doesn't anyone ready what other people post? Seems like a waste of time if not.

 

[MsBetsy]

I'm not complaining about it. In fact, if the reason I/we believe those events occurred are accurate and are effective then I'm glad because it might suggest this case will be resolved within a relatively short time.

I hope so, and that it is not one of those cases where they know who the perp is but can't get enough for an arrest, for years.

RP = "Reporting Person"

I followed the Corrie McKeague case for a long time here in the UK and one thing I learnt is that the phone ping data tells LE whether the phone is moving by vehicle or on foot. I'm sure LE would know the timing, and therefore speed, of the phone between Brooklyn and its last known location.

By now the FBI must have tonnes of data from the phone/Fitbit/CCTV/witnesses but it is the lack of action that I can never get used to in US cases versus here in the UK (very different laws/rules of course). I don't know how you guys stick it out on so many cases.

There can’t be action unless you have evidence upon which to act. A digital trail that goes cold. CCTV that doesn’t capture anything (that we know of). A few witnesses that can offer only scant details. And a girl who has seemingly disappeared into thin air.

With 30,000+(?) posts I doubt many people can remember each and every post and topic.

Or it could be that she had just used the phone to text her mom at that time, or slowed down to look for a song or something.

Observation - home alone.

 

[Medical_man]

Haha, well pretty sure "have they checked out the truck stop?" and similar have been discussed... JMO......

Reporting party?

Agree. And in addition, the threads tend to move so fast I can’t keep up on each thread! Consequently, I miss a lot of discussion.
