that's right Captain everybody gather around grab a chair share Grandma beer let's talk some true
00:03:12
[Music] crime 20-year-old University of Iowa college student Molly tibits went missing it's
00:03:33
believed Captain either on July 18th or maybe even the 19th we are still at this
00:03:40
time a little confused about when she did in fact go missing now we wanted to cover this case this week to shine a
00:03:49
light on her disappearance to generate some leads and further the investigation and hopefully bring Molly home just
00:03:57
within the last two hours we receive breaking news on this case and depending on which reports you check we have some
00:04:06
reports stating that Molly's body has been found in a rural area near uh this location and the other reports state
00:04:14
that a body has been found and it is yet to be identified what we do know is this that
00:04:21
during this investigation law enforcement has been very tight lipped about what they know and what they were
00:04:26
looking into we do know that we should be hearing more information later today all reports that I could find depending
00:04:35
on whether it is in fact her body or not states that there will be a a press conference later today depending 5 o' I
00:04:44
believe depending on what part of the country you're in um but we should get more information later today all along
00:04:51
during the course of this disappearance there have been different theories about
00:04:57
what could have happened and I just want to start off with you know we might get
00:05:02
sidetracked and go to into some other things but I really want to focus in on what the three main prevailing theories
00:05:09
were amongst the media and the public during the course of her disappearance the first and this is one that we always
00:05:17
have to discuss when when somebody has just not been found is that Molly ran off either alone or with someone else
00:05:24
that she simply chose to run away or leave her life now that Theory you and I agreed as well as the family and a lot
00:05:33
of people close to Molly everybody really believed that that is by far the least likely of the three prevailing
00:05:41
theories and with the information that's coming out today I think that it even points more so to that it's still a tiny
00:05:49
little possibility but it was unlikely to begin with and now with the news we have today seems even more more unlikely
00:05:57
also seems with finding her body almost raises more questions than gives us any answers the other theory that was a
00:06:04
popular one was that Molly was abducted while on her run and then of course the other theory that she might have been
00:06:12
abducted from the home in which she was staying so maybe after her run let's get
00:06:17
into the the jogging Theory first okay this could be by opportunity someone saw her and grabbed her it could be someone
00:06:28
who knew her knew her patterns and had planned out an attack on her or it could just be some random person that happen
00:06:37
to spot her out on that run yeah in Brooklyn Iowa is only 3 miles off of Interstate 80 which is
00:06:48
highly traveled didn't we mention Interstate 80 when we covered um the Lane Bryant shootings I I believe so and
00:06:56
and yeah it changes interstates and in you know numbers routee numbers from time to time but I was looking at it on
00:07:04
a map and it pretty much spans the the vast majority of the United States yeah and the the tricky thing here is it's
00:07:12
only a few maybe an hour so either direction you're going to hit major cities okay and so under this Theory
00:07:21
under the Molly was abducted while on her run Theory Captain what makes this Theory likely are the following so
00:07:28
Molly's fit bit iPhone and iPhone holster and earbuds seem to all be missing yes now we believe although this
00:07:37
has not been confirmed by law enforcement that her running clothes and shoes are not in the house where she was
00:07:45
staying that day mhm no one had any confirmed contact with her after the general time of when she should have
00:07:53
been out running let's talk about the home where she was staying it was a four-bedroom
00:07:58
home uh Dalton said that they never locked the doors he said that when Molly was housesitting she would have not
00:08:06
locked the doors even at night he said she would have instead slept with the dogs in the bed with her Molly's mother
00:08:15
agreed with this statement we do know that when police arrived the house was found to be unlocked and there was no
00:08:22
reported sign of forced entry of any kind or any type of Breakin several items belonging to Molly
00:08:30
were found where we should expect to find them right they found her laptop they found her wallet with license and
00:08:38
debit card they found her brand new passport she was planning a trip remember we have Dalton her boyfriend
00:08:45
Dalton his brother's getting married yeah to his fiance they were going to go out of the country for this wedding so
00:08:53
she had a new passport for this trip also her glasses were found and some contact lenses were found as well so
00:09:02
these are items that you know seem like would have been you know might have been
00:09:09
taken with her if she was taken from the home rather than out on the jog the only
00:09:14
items that we can believe that are missing other than Molly were the items that she would have had with her while
00:09:20
she was out jogging yeah and then the other theories that Molly was taken while she was in the house dog sitting
00:09:26
well we just went through what we know about while was out jogging let's go through what could point to her having
00:09:32
been abducted from the home or what may not point to that and we'll kind of open
00:09:36
it up to discussions then so it does not appear that the house was treated as a crime scene and what I mean by that is
00:09:46
there's no reports or couldn't find any information regarding that crime scene tape was even put up and we do know that
00:09:52
the occupants Dalton Blake and Amy were all allowed back into the house fairly quickly
00:09:59
the law enforcement stated no signs of forced entry or a struggle yeah but there's not going to be any sign of
00:10:05
forced entry if you leave the doors unlocked there is some evidence to back up this Theory though so that would be
00:10:12
that you know she returned to the house after her run and then disappeared this theory is popular for two reasons one we
00:10:19
know that Molly's boyfriend Dalton opened up a Snapchat from Molly at 10 p.m. the picture was a selfie of Molly
00:10:26
and she appeared to be indoors possi he said in his home right now we have no idea when she actually sent the snap
00:10:36
police believe it was sent that day Snapchat has been working with law enforcement so they're working to clear
00:10:43
that up police would very much like to view this snap as we stated before but for obvious reasons it would show
00:10:50
potentially where Molly was at the time of of that time of night right and there
00:10:56
was some text on that snap Dalton could not recall what the caption said now evidence for the post-run abduction
00:11:05
Theory also is that at some point over the course of the in investigation some people talked to the
00:11:12
media who said that investigators told them there was reason to think Molly had been home at Dalton's house that night
00:11:18
working on her computer specifically that was the neighbor of the Jacks David colum yeah and supposedly there's some
00:11:25
Google searches correct Lorie Calderwood Molly's mom told the De Moine register that she had received a call from an
00:11:35
agent who was trying to discern specifically whether Molly had been quote in a home at 9:45 p.m. on July
00:11:44
18th so those are some things that point to the possibility that she had returned
00:11:49
to the home now we have Blake Jack Dalton's brother said he he echoed what we heard before that there was no sign
00:11:58
of any any kind of struggle or disruption inside of his home Blake also said that they were told there is no way
00:12:06
to tell whether Molly had returned home after the run but is that really true we
00:12:11
have to question that surely If Molly had returned to the house she would have let the dogs out of the basement maybe
00:12:17
fixed something to eat did some work on the computer and got ready for bed you would think that if she had returned and
00:12:23
been there for a while that there would be evidence at the home to suggest that she had returned home unless she arrived
00:12:31
back at the house after her run and someone was waiting for her since all of her running stuff all seems to be
00:12:38
missing it appears to me likely that she was still wearing it when she vanished and I saw a lot of reports about this
00:12:45
black SUV yeah well this kind of ties into another thing there were reports coming out that a black SUV was seen
00:12:53
driving around town in the middle of the night on the 18th this received a national level of attention the story
00:13:02
seems to be true uh and then later we would learn that it was in fact true now let's move on to this real quick and
00:13:10
you'll understand here why in a minute but the True Value Hardware Store in town was vandalized or broken into on
00:13:17
the night of the 18th this was also widely reported and do they know what was taken well this turns out to be true
00:13:25
as well but what ended up happening in the long run because some people had speculated maybe items were stolen from
00:13:33
the hardware store that were used to abduct Molly yeah that would make sense or to break into the home mhm the thing
00:13:39
here is though Captain what we would later learn and sometimes it takes days it takes a while for these items to
00:13:45
trickle down and the proper information to get out the black SUV scene driving around in the middle of the night it
00:13:51
happened the True Value Hardware Store broken into or vandalized it happened we later learned that it was just straight
00:13:57
up vandalism it doesn't appear that anybody entered the store that they vandalized the outside of the store but
00:14:04
back to this black SUV I mean cuz there was reports um I believe it was like 480
00:14:10
mies roughly away from Brooklyn Iowa where they saw this black SUV I want to claim that it was like a couple weeks
00:14:19
prior where there was a a jogger on a road and there's actually uh surveillance footage of this where the
00:14:26
blackest uh so it looks more like a van to me than an SUV but it pulls up next to the jogger it says something to her
00:14:35
tries to grab her maybe and she took off running and then she called the cops and
00:14:39
then they had this video so once this Molly you know Molly went missing this um law enforcement department sent this
00:14:49
information to to law enforcement up in Brooklyn Iowa well the the black SUV that is in question here regarding
00:14:57
Brooklyn Iowa it's tied into this True Value hardware store because we know who the
00:15:03
black SUV belonged to the True Value Hardware Store vandalism was called in by a bartender who was leaving work and
00:15:11
got off that that night saw the vandalism go down called in the report to police well the bartender owned the
00:15:20
black SUV and after having called in that information to police okay they drove around town looking for who they
00:15:29
thought they had seen vandalizing the store that report that I heard from 400 and some miles away I thought that was
00:15:36
somewhat of a stretch I mean that's a pretty far distance right right but we have heard of situations where
00:15:42
individuals decide to drive cross country um and and commit these types of horrible acts against people but that
00:15:50
shows that in this case that there's a lot of there's a lot of eyeballs on the case and there's a lot of different
00:15:56
departments trying and anything even if they're 500 miles away they're still trying to help the Molly tibits case
00:16:04
this shows the effort you're exactly right this shows the effort that was made by everyone to try to find her now
00:16:11
we have some FBI profilers that have came out and they speculated that they believe she was taken on the jog she was
00:16:20
abducted on her jog but by somebody that she would have known like that maybe she
00:16:26
would have been willing to get into a vehicle with somebody now it might not be like somebody very close but somebody
00:16:33
that she would actually recognize okay so I think this is a situation where we've talked about this several
00:16:40
times when you're an FBI profiler you take information that you can find regarding the known facts of the case
00:16:49
things regarding information about your victim and then you have to kind of play
00:16:55
the percentages it's like you're playing poker you have to say all right it's more likely that this happened and I
00:17:01
state that because of this now that doesn't mean that something else didn't happen MH it doesn't scratch anything
00:17:08
off of the list of what could have happened but what I think and why I think they would come up with this
00:17:13
information here and state this is for one simple fact it very likely if she was abducted
00:17:23
during the course of that jog it would have still been light outside and we don't seem to have any reports of
00:17:30
somebody saying hey I saw a fight go down between some guy that jumped out of a pickup truck and a girl that was
00:17:37
jogging they get into a fight and next thing I know the truck is gone and she's gone we don't have any statement of that
00:17:44
now I've looked at the suspected routes that she would have been jogging on that
00:17:48
day now not only do we believe that some portions of that route or some portions
00:17:53
of those routes would have had surveillance cameras that police could later receive that information view that
00:18:02
footage but these are also areas where I would have expected people to possibly see her we do have those Witnesses or at
00:18:11
least three individuals that believe that they saw her out jogging that night or someone they believed to be her so
00:18:18
again I think they're playing the percentages of it was still daylight out we don't really seem to have any
00:18:24
information that she returned to the home or any evidence of such and therefore if there was no scuffle if
00:18:32
there was no um struggle yeah then she willingly got into a vehicle with somebody now given her what they know
00:18:40
about her she wouldn't have done that with the stranger she wouldn't have just got into
00:18:46
some guy random guy's vehicle mhm that's tricky that's tough I believe what they're saying go ahead possibly
00:18:55
but I think the problem here is you don't know what you would do uh faced with different
00:19:02
situations hand-to-hand combat fight would would Molly put up a fight guarantee it that's what her whole
00:19:08
family said that's what her boyfriend said that's what her brother said they said they would that she would fight
00:19:13
them you know and so she was this tough you know tough individual now put a put a knife in the
00:19:23
perpetrator's hand put a gun in the perpetrator's hand it could change things mhm and you might not be willing
00:19:29
to get in a car with somebody you don't know but if they got a gun pointing at you you might be willing to do so yeah
00:19:37
and and I'd argue and and this I was talking to a local detective here and he was
00:19:45
saying that if if you're faced with that situation that once you get in the car your chances of surviving are Slimmer
00:19:54
Slimmer they're they're very low your chances are extreme ex low at that point so you do everything you can not to get
00:20:01
in the not to get in the car and if somebody has a gun that you know even if they're somewhat close make them shoot
00:20:08
you out in the open you have a better chance of just taking off running and zigzagging and just doing your best to
00:20:14
try not to get hit you have a better chance of staying alive doing that and that that's coming from a detective that
00:20:22
worked um cases like this for 20 some years so if you find yourself in these situations and one one of the things
00:20:30
that the True Crime Community needs to do a better job of is to say hey when you go running carry a knife carry carry
00:20:38
mace make sure that you have you know Molly had her Fitbit tracker on her that's going to leave evidence having
00:20:44
her phone on her is going to leave evidence you know but if if she would have had pepper spray or a knife or if
00:20:49
she would have known that hey if somebody's going to try to abduct you with a a gun you you're you have better
00:20:56
chances of staying alive if you just take take off running well the the profilers stating that we believe it was
00:21:02
somebody that she knew that's also kind of Loosey Goosey too in a sense that she
00:21:08
may not have willingly got into the vehicle even if it was somebody that she knew right but that also if if if they
00:21:17
know her that allows them the opportunity to approach her without causing a an alarm an immediate alarm
00:21:24
from her an immediate reaction that they don't want from her and it actually goes
00:21:30
against what we've already reported on here in the garage you know we talked about the the case that we covered the
00:21:37
murdered joggers we had two women that were out on similar situations jogging exercising and in both instances they
00:21:45
were abducted and killed by somebody that they didn't know that by somebody that did not know them now we have two
00:21:53
completely different situations within those stories themselves one it seems that the the one individual that she was
00:22:01
out running and very likely attacked from behind and then killed there and then we
00:22:08
have another situation where the woman was out running and the guy pretended to have a vehicle that had broken down and
00:22:16
probably asked her for help or at least enough to draw her in and draw her close
00:22:22
so that he abducted her and got her in his vehicle so it's a difficult situation to really try to pull the
00:22:32
pieces apart and try to figure out what's going on and what likely happened here well the creepiest thing that I've
00:22:38
heard is that law enforcement believes that the person responsible for Molly going missing and and now Molly's death
00:22:46
was involved in the searches for Molly and also was at the kelite vigil well that would go along with a lot of FBI
00:22:57
theories regarding that the the perpetrator knew her that they had that they knew each other somehow it could be
00:23:04
very loose how they knew each other maybe it was um a neighbor or second cousin or somebody that happened to work
00:23:12
at a store somewhere well hold on this I mean this this case has has been strange
00:23:18
for us to cover but we're going to go to a quick break because we're getting some

[Music] Freedom all right we're back cheers mates cheers Captain well and I tell you
00:25:50
what this thing has been very difficult to cover and we keep getting breaking news as early as this morning and
00:25:57
throughout today none of it has been good news everybody wanted Molly to come home safe and sound maybe there was just
00:26:04
some misunderstanding it now looks like they have found Molly and we're as we get closer to that press conference that
00:26:11
will happen later today it seems more and more likely that that is the body of Molly Tibbits the information that we
00:26:19
just recently received is that the body that has been found was possibly found on or near the pig farm that we have
00:26:28
discussed on this show and that has been discussed on other shows as well the strange thing regarding where the body
00:26:35
was found is that it sounds like there might be an individual that has been arrested that might be have already
00:26:43
taken into custody and it's not the the man who's been referred to as the pig farmer but in fact a neighbor of her
00:26:53
boyfriends of somebody that lived close to the Jack house uh and this was Nate Hopwood is and and
00:27:02
I want to be clear here until we have this press conference later today the things that we've reported on this show
00:27:09
regarding who was found where the body was found and who has been taken into custody this is all unconfirmed you know
00:27:18
we and yester in in the show earlier today we stated that you know when we cover these cases that are fresh that
00:27:24
there is a lot of misinformation coming out and I don't want I want to make sure
00:27:29
that we're not part of misinformation this is what we are hearing this is what we are seeing now but to be absolutely
00:27:36
clear until we have this press conference this is just things that are more or less rumored to be going on we
00:27:43
we should be very clear about that well yeah so I mean again to this has never happened with us I
00:27:51
mean we normally cover cases that are older cases but again so many emails of listeners saying hey cover this case and
00:27:59
shine some light on it you know it's your responsibility to um the True Crime Community to do so and so that's why we
00:28:07
took this on and then to wake up and on the way to the garage to record to get text messages saying that Molly has been
00:28:14
found that's I mean uh I mean I've been choked up all day about it but and now as we're
00:28:22
recording it to be getting text messages from friends and uh good buddy of mine Morgan that is checking the news
00:28:29
constantly for us and to send I mean the first thing he sends is um it looks like
00:28:35
she was found on or near the pig farm and then instantly you go to the idea of this guy
00:28:44
was questioned five times this guy wouldn't take a polygraph this guy then takes a polygraph we don't know if he
00:28:49
passed it or not mhm and then the next text message is this this Nate Hopwood which is is one
00:28:57
of the neighbors he's not the to be clear he's not the pig farmer right um okay well let's touch upon what you were
00:29:05
talking about earlier that the FBI or local law enforcement suspect that the individual responsible for her abduction
00:29:14
and death was probably somebody that participated in searches for Molly while she was still missing yeah somebody that
00:29:22
may have even participated in a candlelight vigil or any of the uh cies that you have when you're looking for
00:29:30
somebody that's that seems very likely for for many reasons here captain and this is something that the FBI will
00:29:37
usually tell local law enforcement to keep an eye on you know if you have if you have to conduct a funeral for
00:29:45
somebody then you should put some agents or some undercover officers there and see who shows up to the funeral and like
00:29:52
the FBI said they had suspicions their profilers former profil stated that they believed it was
00:29:59
somebody that knew Molly that knew her somehow so what does that mean well that means that a person that knew her
00:30:07
somehow even if they lived together in the same Community but didn't know each other directly then that is somebody
00:30:15
that you would expect to be involved in those searches somebody you would expect
00:30:20
to be at the candle light vigil and the thing here is that's something that the guilty party does that the suspect does
00:30:27
because they go look I couldn't I couldn't have anything here I couldn't have killed her I'm out here searching
00:30:34
like the rest of you like all of the other good people like the actual good people he's not a good person but like
00:30:41
the actual good people I'm out here searching and looking for her also I'm here in memory of her I'm here someone
00:30:49
celebrating her life and celebrating the hopes and thoughts that she may return that we may find her so it's somebody
00:30:56
that would real piece of [ __ ] well it's somebody that would have fit into both
00:31:01
of those scenarios somebody that would not have seemed to be out of place at either of those scenarios the other
00:31:07
thing and we've discussed this plenty of times here the reason why the perpetrators do this is for one it could
00:31:14
be for for uh disgusting method or disgusting reasons that I don't care to get into I don't want to try to get into
00:31:21
the mind of this individual and play around in there for too long but the other thing is the simple of just to
00:31:28
it's a way for them to keep an eye on the investigation to kind of know what's going on well and is it fair to say or
00:31:36
it's it fair to speculate I mean that this pig farmer or this ex pig farmer whatever he's probably not going to the
00:31:44
searches he's probably not going to any services for for Molly right I agree with that he doesn't even seem to want
00:31:52
to talk to police that much it seemed like he was willing in at the start like hey yeah yeah I heard you got this thing
00:31:59
going on I'll answer a few questions but when they come back time and time and time again is when you say hey these
00:32:05
people are wasting my time yeah yeah and well okay so he's he's not coming around
00:32:12
so I don't know it's well let me get into this well so to me if if if this Pig Farmer's not involved and
00:32:22
it's F and she's found on the on the pig farm or near or near then if this individual if this neighbor is
00:32:31
responsible that that person is watching the case they know that this guy is Under Suspicion and then they take that
00:32:37
body and they move it to uh the farm therefore raising more suspicion mhm well let's talk about this for a little
00:32:46
bit and I think it's very smart that law enforcement came out and and make the announcement publicly that it was very
00:32:54
possible somebody that knew Molly or possibly somebody that came in contact with her that harmed her right okay and
00:33:02
I and I say that because of this when this case first broke when she was missing in the early days of her missing
00:33:10
we kept hearing reports of well this town is so close to Interstate 80 somebody could have snatched her up and
00:33:16
could have been thousands of miles away very shortly within you know a day or two of of this abduction and what I
00:33:25
think is important here is law enforcement they knew that they needed tips they needed information from the
00:33:32
public to help steer the investigation and point them in the right direction of what likely happened to this young woman
00:33:41
and what they did was by stating that it's somebody that knew her or somebody that knew the community what they're
00:33:48
saying is they are really kind of shrinking that suspect pull in the eyes of the public meaning then what you have
00:33:55
to think about is okay okay she attended Iowa University all right well there's only so many people that attend or work
00:34:04
there or a faculty of the University yeah then we have a community that we've already said is only about 1,400 people
00:34:11
or less so what we've done there is we've already Shrunk The Suspect pool where before pool where before we were
00:34:19
saying it's close to I Interstate 80 it could have been anybody in the entire country no we're shrinking that down and
00:34:26
why is that because on the 13th of this month a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Public Safety gave a much
00:34:34
anticipated press conference regarding the status of the case we didn't learn a whole lot new about the case as far as
00:34:41
evidence or what actually happened to Molly but what he did say that was of importance was this that Molly possibly
00:34:47
came into contact with someone who harmed her he said that they do not feel as though the public at large is at risk
00:34:55
he said that while the suspect may not be a member of the Brooklyn Community it is likely someone familiar with that
00:35:04
community and then laid out some things that the public should be on the lookout
00:35:08
for with regards to the person with people in their lives that could have been involved in the Abduction of Molly
00:35:16
they stated look for the following CH a change in normal routine which might include missing school work or routine
00:35:24
engagements without plausible explanation m a vehicle unexpectedly taken to a repair shop or sold or
00:35:33
disposed of unexpected or intense cleaning of a vehicle possibly at an unusual time of day unexplained lack of
00:35:43
contact or inability to get in touch with someone you know the evening of July 18th into the morning of July 19th
00:35:53
altering of physical appearance this would be simple things like like the growth or removal of facial hair you
00:35:59
know change your haircut uh color of hair you could color your hair displays of anxiety nervousness stress or
00:36:07
irritability unexplained injuries changes in consumption of alcohol drugs or cigarettes changes in sleep pattern
00:36:15
interest in the status of the investigation including close attention to media coverage or an unwillingness to
00:36:24
discuss the investigation the other thing they did in that press conference Captain was that they announced a new
00:36:30
website dedicated to Molly's case finding molly. iowa.gov the website allowed people to submit tips
00:36:39
anonymously now I want to talk about this for a second here because we do know we have sounds like breaking news
00:36:45
coming out today that they could announce that they found her body and that they have an arrest made but I want
00:36:52
to remind everybody about that website because of this even even if they announced to us later today that they've
00:36:58
made an arrest yeah the case isn't over the investigation is not over if you know something or if you saw something
00:37:06
then you should still go to that website you should still submit that tip you could you should still call law
00:37:12
enforcement and tell them what you saw or what you know to help further this investigation and if you live in
00:37:19
Brooklyn Iowa and you've not been to that website yet finding molly. iowa.gov go there because of this the website
00:37:28
also contains a map showing some very specific locations where investigators are hoping people might have witnessed
00:37:36
something sometimes we've seen something that's of importance and we don't we're
00:37:39
not even aware of that but if you were in either of any of these locations listed there in that time where she
00:37:46
suspected of having been out on her jog right reach out to them and say hey this
00:37:51
is my name I was at this location at this time and let them know if you saw anything at all all all of the
00:37:58
locations um they're either in or somewhat near Brooklyn of course authorities won't tell us why they are
00:38:05
interested in these particular spots but we can use our imagination right notably
00:38:11
one of them is a self-served car wash located in town we talked about the possibility of someone needing to clean
00:38:18
a vehicle uh the the spots that were located on this website or or listed on this website m it appears that they
00:38:27
cover at least 12 mi in total so meaning that they're not likely all spots that they believe that she ran past that
00:38:35
night but they are spots of interest to these investigators for some reason well
00:38:41
yeah cuz the car wash always made me wonder if somebody like accidentally hit her while they're
00:38:48
driving somebody's coming home from a bar somebody has a drinking problem hits her why he's you know driving home hits
00:38:57
Molly puts her in the car has to go wash his vehicle um and for whatever reason instead of just coming forward and
00:39:05
saying this is what happened that um that they try to cover it up yeah the and the Fitbit portion of this case is
00:39:14
still very interesting and very important to me because it it like we said we believe it is missing we believe
00:39:20
that we don't know where it is um no one was saying during the course of this that I could find what in what model in
00:39:29
fact this Fitbit was but this is crucial as some fitbits have GPS tracking on them and some allow for Route sharing
00:39:38
online as well so do some iPhone apps that Runners would use well here's what we're going to learn and we're we're
00:39:46
probably not going to learn this in today's press conference but what we're going to learn is they're going to do
00:39:52
autopsy so we're going to know how she died um we're going to know if there's any DNA evidence on her we're going to
00:40:00
know when she died was she abducted and taken somewhere and was alive for a while or or did she die the day that she
00:40:11
went missing uh we're going to also I think later find out uh and maybe not even
00:40:17
till there's a trial but the information on that Fitbit I guarantee you they have
00:40:22
information I mean it might have her Vital Signs so we might know down to the minute mhm if her as long as her uh
00:40:31
Fitbit was still on and possibly connected to her phone I think we're going to know that
00:40:36
information uh so I think there's going to be a ton of evidence that comes out in the next a couple weeks now we we
00:40:43
might not hear about it till the trial we want to thank everybody that uh was involved in the investigation everybody
00:40:50
that helped Molly's family along the way yeah and and than our listen ERS in our garage Army for reaching out to us
00:40:58
and encouraging us to take on the task of covering this case it's just been a it's been a very sad day uh it feels
00:41:07
like it's been a lot longer than I know that it has here in the garage today a very very sad day and we will hopefully
00:41:15
learn more in this press conference and again our hearts and our thoughts go out
00:41:21
to Molly's family and friends and until next time everybody be good be kind and don't
00:41:29
[Music] litter Angie's List is now Angie and we've heard a lot of theories about why I
00:42:05
thought it was an Eco move few worse less paper no it was so you could say it faster no it's to be more iconic must be
00:42:13
a tech thing but those aren't quite right it's because now you can compare upfront prices book a service instantly
