The facts are so inconsistent it's hard to get a handle on what happened. Regardless, the police calling off the search leads me to believe they have a pretty good idea what happened to her.

Did they call off the search or was is suspended because of dark/night? That wasn’t clear in the article I saw. If they completely called it off then I agree it sounds like they have a good idea of what happened. Most of the info coming out has that feel that the LE knows a lot more than is being shared.

Pinned tweet is a crazy coincidence..

Oh dear, Tweets are not too positive...

This is confusing. I've read that the boyfriend and his brother were BOTH out of town working which is why she was dog sitting. Now this article says that the BF was home with her.......

I swear I read early on that her BF was at home with her, but then all that changed and he was out of town. Very confusing.

The reports were that he said he was staying with her. But then why wasn't she reported missing until the following day when she didn't show up at work? Super sketchy timeline...

I’m confused too. Don’t know which article is the most accurate.

Has anyone seen any mention of the condition of the dogs she was petsitting? How much food and water they had remaining might help figure out how long Mollie might have been gone.

Also, was the Snapchat Mollie sent at 10 pm to her bf a Snapchat of herself or of someone or something else? If it was not a Snapchat of herself, then someone else could have used her phone to send it.

this case is very worrisome....scary

Is snapchat like a selfie? Or a text?

Molly had a lot of honors cords in her graduation photos. She's a very smart woman. I don't think she went running by herself at 10 pm.

Another female jogger gone missing. I am hoping for a positive outcome but it's not looking too good. The conflicting reports and information is definitely frustrating.

Can we assume the pets she was sitting for are safe at home? No chance she was walking them I guess. I just hadn’t seen any mention of this. Just thinking about another angle.

Good question!!

Family members told WOI-TV that the University of Iowa student was dog-sitting with her boyfriend at a house before she went for a run. Tibetts boyfriend, Dalton Jack, told ABC News she went for a run around 10 pm.

I’m not finding any articles stating people saw Mollie running outside.

The video of the BF's statement and his body language are ... unusual.

Is snapchat like a selfie? Or a text?

Snapchats are short videos that you can either send to one person or to all your followers. You can take a video of yourself or of someone or something else. It is my understanding that the videos disappear after a few minutes but that anyone who saves it can still have it.

that's my understanding...for what it's worth

 

[Gunslinging Granny]

Was the last person to see Mollie alive a male named Dalton Jack Marine?

 

[Rotten apple]

Who the heck was she dogsitting for??? Has anyone been able to definitively answer that question? Who's house was she last at?

From what I've read, all of the information seems to be coming from the boyfriend. He says she went jogging at 10:00 p.m. He further makes comments about her cellphone and a fitbit.

"It can be slow and frustrating, but it is our best hope of securing Mollie’s location," wrote Emily Heaston on the page.

"Law enforcement will also be repeating the neighborhood canvas near Mollie’s home, jogging, and work routes. The entire community was taking part in the ground search over the last two days, so many neighbors were not at their homes at the time of the first neighborhood canvas," wrote Heaston, Tibbetts' cousin.

The important part of ceasing the ground search is that those residents are home and available to speak with law enforcement."

Looks like this might be part of their explanation for why the request for volunteers for a ground search had been called off.
