Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 #32

[Jazzy5980]

Since her phone was left at the house.... it was SOMEONE ELSE'S phone data.
Hopefully, an arrest will be forthcoming !

MT’s phone was NOT at the house.

RIP Mollie. This will be a death penalty case.

Not sure Iowa has DP?
And cause of death still needs to be determined imo.

Everything I read said she was found today. I can’t imagine her dad would leave before her funeral if she was found days ago.

But unless they have a suspect who led them to her body, or she is newly deceased, I wonder how they can be sure it’s her so quickly?

I'm 30 pages behind, but I'm guessing dental records--that's how they identified people in the pre-DNA days. Dental records, those jogging clothes, that lovely long brown hair, approximate height.... I guess I'd better not start swearing--too hard on the moderators. But how I hope that this was what they needed to make an arrest.... The only thing to hope for, now.

From the map pinpointing the location, it appears that there are 2 houses in that immediate area and that the body was located between 2 private driveways adjacent to, and connected to, those houses. Hmmm. Is the perp a resident of one of those houses? IMHO, no random stranger happened upon that site to dump a body.

I saw the no fly zone map, can someone please create and post a better map... maybe from google earth zoomed in?

 

[stormymama]

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm not expecting them to name a suspect or to have made an arrest or to be ready to make an arrest just yet. I tend to get my hopes up about these kinds of things in anticipation for the press conferences, only to be disappointed.

How far away is her jogging route to this location?

 

[mountainguy777]

If it was suicide she had to run VERY far to do it...

Well yeah. It’s hard to find people that don’t want to be found. But yes, likely not suicide based on location.

Officials believe body of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts found

Per the link above, DCI spokesman says no one has been charged.

This could be true as well as a suspect already being arrested. Most states can arrest and hold you for 175 days before felony charges have to be filed. However, the holding time is much shorter for misdemeanor charges.

IA - MEDIA, MAPS & TIMELINES - NO DISCUSSION - Molly Tibbetts,20, Poweshiek County

Thanks, Harmony.

I haven't been able to see a map with a pinpointed location. I also don't have access to the news station's site bc of their noncompliance with European privacy laws. Where are they claiming to have found the body?

About 10 miles to the SE of Brooklyn at the corner of 460th and 220th. I uploaded a satellite photo of the area a while ago.

 

[SkipperKey3]

How far away is her jogging route to this location?

10-15 miles. She would not have been jogging in this location.

 

[cluciano63]

Jmo but I am guessing any assumptions about the reward are just that, right now.

Here is the link for the radio news. Mollie's story has been leading the news all morning. The story is the first one. And I was mistaken - it says ' suspect foul play'.

 

[whitelilac]

Saw the news on my phone this morning, which took my breath away.
So very sorry for Mollie and her loved ones. It's crushing and heartbreaking.
It's so difficult to see the photos of this lovely vibrant young woman who is no longer with us. I will never understand the cruelty in this world.
My thoughts and condolences are with her dear parents, boyfriend and all who loved her.
May justice be swift. So so sad. Rest in peace dear Mollie.......

 

[Spartygirl]

Thanks for this dear.
[OT I have to attend my neighbor's funeral in a bit so ya'll keep it going. He sold the bad batch of heroin to my ex in Jan and now he is dead Never enough heartache eh? &still reeling over dear Lucas]

Chi

So Sorry you have to do this today CHI !! {{HUGS}}

 

[cluciano63]

These days, if her phone and belongings were present, that might pass for a tentative ID. It is too soon for dental, etc jmo.

 

[CheetosDust]

I saw the no fly zone map, can someone please create and post a better map... maybe from google earth zoomed in?

 

[WideOpen]

Mollie's FB Page has been updated to "Remembering Mollie Tibbetts"
I am feeling so sad today.
RIHeaven you beautiful angel.

Mollie Tibbetts
