Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 #31

[Writestuff]

Heatbroken. I had a very vivid strange dream about Mollie and her family last night. Probably because she’s been on my mind a lot lately. I’ll be on pins and needles until 5pm.

I just woke up to the news on Twitter. Rest in peace, Mollie. Prayers to your family and friends who loved you so much.

Rest in Peace beautiful, wonderful Mollie.

My heart is with your loved ones.

May they hold each other tight during this unfathomable time.

Someone on Fox said her body was found near Iowa?

Did anyone else hear that?

Details about where the body was located were not released. A law enforcement source told Fox News the body was located in Iowa.

Rest In Peace, Mollie..... You brought out the best in a world of strangers, who came together to care for, and to love you.

Beautifully said, cody22.

My heart just skipped a beat and I felt like someone kicked me in my stomach when I just read this horrible news. Waiting for more details.

Good Morning. I am at work, and just read the news. I wanted to come on here and say that I'm terribly sorry and horribly heartbroken. I was hopeful that this would not be the case. Stay strong, everybody, and after a PC hopefully we have more pieces of this puzzle to talk about in hopes of finding out who harmed this sweet girl, and bringing justice and peace for her family.

Awww. It was my gut feeling, but I was so hoping to be wrong. This makes me so sad.

Sigh. Me too.

 

[AuctionGal]

I am so saddened by this. Even if you felt like this would be the outcome, it is hard to swallow.

 

[Sconnie]

When I saw the notice, I thought for sure the last word would be "alive." What a kick in the gut. Prayers to everyone who loved her, and that includes all of you who have "adopted" her as your own. What a beautiful life lost.

I am glad there will be some sort of closure for her family, but just crushing.

By the Fox correspondent Matt Finn having two sources and he said said the money will now be transferred to tracking down the killer, I guess we can assume that no one cracked and they have no clue who the killer is? I am also assuming they have already determined it was a homicide by using the phrase "the killer". I mean, it was unlikely, but until this news broke - there was still a chance that she was walking/jogging and had a medical issue or fell somewhere, etc. Now it appears to me a killer is on the loose.

Gutted. This is so heartbreaking. Whoever did this....may God have mercy on your soul.

 

[mrsu]

Well, we knew this was the most likely scenario. Very sad. Hug your babies.

 

[UKWend]

Such very sad news, it was looking hopeful she was being held, so we had a glimmer of hope. May justice be swift!

 

[kath4557]

Me too.

 

[SkipperKey3]

So sad. Not the outcome we were hoping for.

 

[distracted]

I thought he was going to cry

I did, too. He spent a lot of time with her dad and DJ.

Realistically, LE must have found her a while back and it's just been confirmed that it was her OR she was murdered recently and when they found her she was still recognizable. They wouldn't announce this unless they were sure it was her.

 

[IceIce9]

Two things are unusual about this, different than other cases that I remember:

Usually doesn’t LE make the statement/announcement?

Doesn’t the announcement usually reference the phrase “pending positive identification” or similar wording?

 

[WtfHappened]

Such sad news. I truly hoped she was still alive somewhere
