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

[DizzyB]

In order for Mollie to end up there, was a vehicle that was able to navigate that type of terrain necessary?

-Not sure if this is allowed so please remove if not or someone let me know-
Anyone have any theories on WC and if he was actually involved?? Why LE spent SO MUCH TIME on him??? I understand if Mollie's phone pinged in the area but why not focus on the people whose property she was found on? Or any one else in the area of the pinged phone? Is WC involved? Was he a decoy?

No use contemplating that now.. I think we will find out soon enough. Or at least hope.

According to a tweet from a journalist at the Des Moines Register with a photo of a blocked off road, it was near 21st and 460. Not sure what to believe.

At 2219 460th. Deep river is 52222

I just read the sad news on the previous thread, while trying to catch up.

Me, too, d4j.

Where did it say 470? Because that's where the pig farm and WC live. Are you sure the reporter said 470?

Yes if you watch that video, at the very end the reporter points to the road sign and says we are at "470" and it cuts off.... let me find it again

 

[Veracity]

I don't know how to link to my local radio station's news segment???

Every hour they offer news and they just said Mollie was found in Rural Poweshiek County and officials say it is now a homicide investigation"

Figured out where to find the radio news segments. Mollie's story starts at .30

Typically, the choice of an elective drop site reveals much about the perp. IMO - they found her because the perp was sweated last night in Montezuma and gave it up. Cant see that questioning continuing long without an atty acquiescing.

What terrain?

This is the area someone posted on a few pages back of the location on google maps. The zoomed out pic shows how close it is to the truck stop. Again this is a shared location that I’m assuming is correct from posted replies from this morning. It coincides with the search area maps and the location of where media is starting to show up. Think it was back on page 23 of this thread. Was trying to compare to the Facebook page for the Police stations calls sheets too.

Yes of course the proximity to the truck stops has concerned me all along.
I am not saying a trucker did this. Truckstops are frequented by so many different people.
There are truckers who drop the trailer and run light and quick in the "truck" cab itself tho.
I noticed in Sharoneedles videos just how many Tractors without their Trailers (18 wheelers without trailers) were sitting around.
Just saying and as always jmo.
It's possible they have a suspect and just haven't named the creep yet.
I for one do not think it is someone MT knew well if at all.

Actually, one of the reports indicated LE will release "a significant amount of information" at the presser. I have not yet found the link.

At this time, officials are not confirming what details will be shared, but say there will be significant updates to the investigation. Body of Mollie Tibbetts believed found, News Conference at 4 p.m. today

 

[ChuckMaureen]

HLN discussing now, showed interview with local woman who would see MT and say "Hi", etc.

 

[SheriBerry]

Second video down, tweet by Angelina Salcedo. If you watch it to the very very end she says they are at road 470 not 460. 470 is the road WC lives on.....

Mollie’s dad stated in an interview with Dateline that she was a lover of poetry

I’d like to think that Mollie would say these words to her family, from a poem written by Henry Scott Holland in 1910 (which also brought me a measure of comfort when my mom died):

Death is nothing at all

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Death is nothing at all by Henry Scott Holland (Gurteen Knowledge)

IMHO, she's still wearing the Fitbit.

Kapua this was my exact thought. And perhaps even the armband.
Oh God, dear girl, I hope it was quick and you didn’t suffer long. RIP Mollie. You drew us all in and captured our hearts. I know the stats and likelihood did not support your survival, but in the back of our minds we were all hoping against odds that we were wrong and that you’d be found.

Two questions have come to mind - did the storm on the 19th affect their efforts to find her?

I am not sure which interview it was but at some point it came to light that DJ's dad had used a crop duster plane to search for Mollie. I am struck by the wooded area here - and whether the location was chosen to avoid the plane. Then during the live update KCCI did a bit ago they noted LE has asked that no drones fly over a particular area.

This made me wonder if drones could have helped find her?? or did?

I don't like to speculate... in fact, I said I wouldn't anymore. But finding her like that and id'ing her right away sure does seem like they had a tip, or a suspect who gave them the info for perhaps consideration in charges. jmo of course.

Does anyone know how many hours it is until the PC ? I am in the uk and have no clue on time differences. I will be following this thread anyway.

 

[MassGuy]

Wouldn't it be hard to" dump" in that condition? And where would he have been keeping it all this time?

Exactly. You don’t keep a body around and then suddenly dispose of it because the dad is going home. This body was almost certainly dumped there around the time of the abduction.

Forgive me on this sad day, but this did make me laugh. Let's interview someone who used to say "hi" to the victim. Valuable.

I believe in 2 hours 20 minutes.

Why didn't they keep doing the grid searches when she first went missing? I think several people suggested calling Texas EquuSearch.
