Possible facts:

He also states that LE told him Mollie made it home and was studying "late into the evening" on her computer.

DR: Stated he saw Mollie running past his home at 9pm (possible typo and in the article, was 8pm on audio) "She was wearing like a neon pink sports bra with black khaki yoga pants and an armband with her music device, or phone ... hair in a ponytail, just jogging like normal, any other day."

General Timeline:
Mollie last seen at 7:30pm 7/18
Mollie seen by DR at 8pm or 9pm 7/18
Brother tried to contact at 7:30am 7/19
that : a 12 hour window. Sometime between 7:30pm on 7/18 and 7:30am 7/19 is when she went missing. Let's see if we can fill in those hours somehow.

It would be good to know Riley's address, I can't find it anywhere.
If you'd like me to add anything, let me know.

And if he saw her at 8pm, then she probably had been running 20-30 minutes at point, as his house almost a mile away, which would mean she left the house around 7:30pm.

This makes more sense than a 9:00 sighting. 8:00 is just a continuation of the same jog. I think she was taken soon after this while still on her jog.

I wonder if he's right about the time. By then it would have been dark, hard to see anything.

It is still plenty light at that time, I ride my horse until after 9:30 and its light enough for that.

What are "black khaki yoga pants"?

I think they misheard, it was black capri pants.

fraudqueen said:
Does anyone wear "pants" while jogging in this heat?
Click to expand...

Yes, a lot of joggers wear those capri style pants, I have several pairs.
 
distracted said:
This is so frustrating. There are so few facts, you would think MSM could get it right. Was it 8 or 9pm? Were the pants black or khaki? Was it shorts or yoga pants? Was it a pink sports bra or a black one?

There are so many discrepancies, we can't depend on any of it.

That makes me wonder whether he’s remembering a different night. He said he saw her run by there regularly. Clothes don’t match other reports.

Posting this again because it was at the end of the last thread:
Brother of Mollie Tibbetts' boyfriend says no sign of struggle at home; she 'would have done something'


I am sure LE was aware of this already. What I don’t understand is why it took 3 weeks for the MSM to be made aware of this / report on it.

From that article: "Tibbetts' boyfriend, DJ, has said he received a Snapchat message from her the night of July 18 after she would have returned from her run"
Was it their routine to have her snapchat him with a pic after her run to let him know she was in for the night?

Eyewitness reports are not 100% accurate. They get less so with the passage of time. And eye witness testimony changes as they read or hear more about a situation.
 
I posted here about the sighting by this guy just hitting the news now, days ago as I queried what had become of it as he posted on the Sheriff's fb over two weeks ago, and the description fitted her, and importantly, would put a later time to the previous 7.30 sighting.

Man fears he was last person to see missing college student

The only person to assert that he was the "last person" to see her alive was this witness, right? I would trust the 8:00 pm audio (maybe some journalist inadvertently adjusted for Eastern Time). If she went west on 2nd and north on Jackson (edited to correct) then all of the witnesses would seem accurate. We just don't know the real timeline or order. If she was heading north on Jackson (oops, not Des Moines) she could have been heading back to her BF's or her mom's at that point. That seems to be when the trail went cold.

This also takes her passed the Casey's General Store which would explain why the FBI wanted that video footage so badly.

MOO.
