Not so fast on the issue of the clothing and LE. Otto said, "The bottom line is that if there was CCTV of Mollie at some point during her run, police would be able to say what she was wearing. They can't. Also, if there was footage, it's very likely that it would be posted if only to give the public a better idea of what Mollie looked like that day".
IMO for some reason the confusion on the clothing being worn by MT furthers some aim of LE as it is an issue that has been present from almost the first day of this case (we have seen at least 4 different descriptions of the various outfits that MT could have been wearing when she disappeared that I can think of and even so called eyewitnesses vary on description of what she was wearing). Perhaps the reason for not releasing CCTV or a more precise picture to the public is to weed out witnesses? I don't know. But it is quite presumptous IMO to draw the conclusion that LE are not able at this time to say what MT was wearing based on the limited information available to the public as of today. I think its a safer assumption at this point 3 weeks into the search to say that LE "won't" release a picture rather than "can't". Or maybe what she was wearing is for whatever reason not deemed important to the investigation? Maybe LE doesn't think its relevant for the public to know what MT looked like that day because she could be wandering around in a dress, cowboy boots and with short blond hair to take an exteme change in her look? Who knows? With the number of people working on this case I would be very surprised if they didn't know each piece of clothing that MT was wearing down the laces on her running shoes and the color of the hairband she might have used to pull back her hair. They most likely don't know what she looks like now or what she is wearing. But maybe they do? We don't know any of this information. LE has seen no reason to share any of this information with the public. I don't know why the case is being managed the way it is or why the public isn't really part of this investigation but there must be some reason.
I would suggest that based on the CCTV in Brooklyn that LE does knows what MT was wearing and for whatever reason don't believe that its in the interest of the investigation to disclose this to the public. LE has been very consistent in not releasing much in the way of substantive information to the public and I think its a good bet that 3 weeks in they are drowning in video footage and data from the digital footprint (about which we have learned NOTHING). So, I don't think there is any priority in the investigation to give the public a better idea of what MT look like that day. LE hasn't wanted the involvement of the public in anything except very specific pieces of the puzzle.
