Just read this on Reddit a new theory...perhaps
Obviously this is all speculation, BUT I spent a good amount of time reading through Mollie's instagram, twitter, and vsco accounts, combined with all the interviews and updates, and I believe she was having a fling and that the mother was aware of it, and something went wrong. Here is why:
- The Mom didn't act like it was unusual for Mollie to skip dinner after confirming she would be there. This is a huge red flag immediately. Mollie and her mother are close enough (physically and emotionally) that the mother invites her over for dinner and Mollie accepts. Mollie's mom knows she's home alone, and is expecting her for dinner yet doesn't send a single text asking where she is, what's going on, or anything of the sort.
This could possibly make sense if the mom assumed Mollie was out with friends, but she doesn't say anything like that, and in fact I haven't seen anything about Mollie having friends in Brooklyn at all.
The reason she wasn't worried about her not showing up for dinner, and the reason she acted so nonchalant in the interviews is she knew her daughter was having a fling, and that is why she didn't show up.
- Mollie had no car. She's having a fling, the BF is out of town but she can't drive anywhere, and she lives in a tiny town where she can't change socks without the neighbors noticing. So how do you meet up with the fling?
Run.
She couldn't get into some strange car in her driveway without alerting the local Gossip Girls, so she agreed to meet up with her fling in a much more secretive way. So she put the dogs in the basement, got her running gear on and headed out to meet the fling and location they agreed on.
- LE know she left and didn't return, and this is why the house was never searched. They know she left to meet someone.
- This is the reason for the strange "It is not consistent with her past." quote from LE.
- This is the reason they continue to push the reward money, they know she left to meet someone and are desperately holding onto hope that they can buy her back.
- I believe Dalton was suspicious of something which is why he immediately left his job site and drove home when she didn't show up to work.
- I believe the Dad had no clue about the fling but sometime between the two press conferences he became aware and that was the reason for his change in demeanor.
- Something went wrong, and we don't know what. I think she got into a vehicle somewhere, and that is basically all that they know.
- I think they questioned Cheney because he was the closest creepy dude around. I don't even think her cell phone pinged near his location because that would have been good enough to get search warrants, and yet Cheney voluntarily let them search everything and even gave them his phone. He has nothing to do with this.
- I think the case is cold, and they will make the announcement in a week or so.
