Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 #10

[Homeschool Mom]

Just checked that - sunset is approximately 8:26 p.m.

Sunrise and sunset times in Brooklyn, IA

I’m sitting outside in Des Moines at 8:23PM and we still have quite a bit of light.

If this LE group has been keeping stuff close to the vest, I have doubts they will tell us one way or the other anytime soon at this point.

Yes, their quietness hasn't been because they don't have a clue. Keep going, LE!

Our greatest hope is any trace of dna on the clothing...

Definitely also a scenario. My only problem with having lined up a ride is that at this point LE would know that and likely have a suspect or POI based on her cell/laptop data.

Maybe she lined up a ride verbally and in person with someone while still at work on Wed? The morning ride is a good theory.

Iowan With Multiple Stalking Charges Admits To Police Questioning in Search For Mollie Tibbetts

Not sure “named” but he himself says they questioned him.

So glad you posted the link to the interview with WC....Yikes, I just got some bad vibes there with the way he kept repeating, "Its a bad deal".....Doesn't remember anything? The way he abruptly was about to end interview and said "I'm done, this is a waste of my time." <modsnipped>

I won't be surprised if they find her very soon.

Does anyone know how quickly they can test for DNA from the shirt?

For those not watching the livestream...

That livestream that Gardenista posted (thank you!) has a reporter that has been talking. 15 mi SW of Brooklyn, smaller search party tonight. 1 k-9. Farmer in the area said that they have been searching about a one square mile radius just about non stop since Mollie went missing. Barns, etc. have been searched. Yesterday they had divers out searching all the ponds.

Yes, having been born and raised in North Central Wisconsin, I know it's light past sunset, sometimes until 9:30 p.m.

ETA: If LE has found something, do they bring in generators and lights after dark? I thought they do, but I'm not sure.

Right?! Or when he said he doesn’t remember what LE even asked him.

 

[Inthedetails]

I don't think it was a ride to work that she had arranged ahead of time. Just because she might've told someone about it, something like, "hey, I won't need the car tomorrow, X from work is giving me a ride in the morning." So, too risky for whomever might've offered her a ride ahead of time. I hope that makes sense.

But, it could've been planned to be just a regular ol' ride to work....but didn't end up that way. It might not have been a planned attack (or whatever it was).

I think it belongs on the list of possibilities.

I’m not accusing this man of anything whatsoever but I would be really interested in knowing a body language expert’s opinion on the video.

Oh I do believe they have a clue. I just think they are keeping most of it to themselves at this point.

Imo the shirt they found today belongs to Mollie. Otherwise they probably would not have put so many resources into the search. MSM states it was found by someone mowing a ditch. I am picturing the ditch that runs along side the road.
This is all true I would speculate It was thrown from a car window. Wild animals or wind could be responsible but it is The red shirt everyone knows she was supposed to wear to work today she went missing. It was not a sock or shoe or bra but the red T-shirt.
All speculation and i have been wrong before!

 

[PommyMommy]

Could somebody please confirm this is correct?

This is the article where it was stated, but I think it could be bad reporting. Everything We Know About The Disappearance Of University Of Iowa Student Mollie Tibbetts

When Tibbetts' Fitbit pinged at a hog farm about 10 miles southeast of the house in Brooklyn, IA, where she was last seen, police searched the area but found nothing, Mortvedt said.

Then there's this article that says it was searched due to social media speculation: Mollie Tibbetts: 'We follow through on everything,' investigators say of search

One of those searches took place Wednesday night in southern Poweshiek County along Iowa Highway 21, but it did not result in anything, he said.

"There was nothing of investigative value last night that was discovered with the search," Mortvedt said. The search was the subject of speculation Wednesday and Thursday on social media.

And I'm pretty sure I saw one that at least one of the hog farm searches was based on a tip but I haven't tracked that one down.

They have been searching 1 mi sq radius since 19th July? Or later.

Honestly...LE should not be saying so many times that she is alive, believed to be alive etc...when they search fields, woods and ponds day after day...lots of folks take their words to heart...there may be a lot of shocked people soon... I know I am cynical but that is partly due to 8+ years here on WS...

How much daylight is left today?

It's 8:32 right now, it will be dark by 9:00 (not pitch dark but too dark to search)

Greg: I'll take a shot at that. He seemed very ill at ease - in my opinion, all the nose rubbing and other mannerisms were ways of avoiding a truthful response to the reporter's questions.
