What’s the deal with this story? (Missing UI student Mollie Tibbetts)

I'm looking at the tweet from Laura Terrell from KCCI that says "this encounter happened at 385 St. downtown Brooklyn." Perhaps a typo...?
You deserve zero flaming today. This is a safe statement but it’s pretty obvious what the situation likely is. The guy wasn’t stalking her for financial advice...
The gist of what you're saying I agree with (media controlling the narrative). But the way you explained it I'm not so sure of.
Small towns sometimes just use the county road name. So if it runs through town then it may.
Let's remember that EVERYBODY first focused on a local pig farmer who was creepy and known to her. And, statistically, the numbers are overwhelming that the victim knows their killer. So, yes, an argument "could" be made in this one instance; however, it's a very thin, silly one when you look at abductions/killings/etc. Statistically, one should be far more frightened of the weird white guy next door...
I would imagine yes if he raped her before killing her. Coroner report will make it clear if that's what happened.
I find it reprehensible that you are projecting your politics onto her saying what she would be sarcastically thrilled about. I assume that you are not a bad person. But you, sir, are certainly a pot calling the kettle black.
Thus the reason for the timing of his questioning. Again, he'd been being monitored for a "while".
While I agree in principle, I see one crucial difference here: as you said, this is a problem with police forces in general, not sorted by race. I agree. That problem is present.
The issue is that illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than legal citizens, however, situations like this always try to paint the narrative that aliens committing crimes is frequent (to sow anger against them), when evidence points to it not being so. Ultimately, the situations are similar, but I wouldn't say "literally the same".
Sure, it's okay when others do it, but not when I call them out for it. Got it, thanks for the input.
Just had a bad thought, Manatts is headquartered in Brooklyn...and I sure hope that the suspect was not employed by Manatt's.

Possibly right, depending what streets they consider downtown in Brooklyn.
Looks like it's really more of the edge of town and mostly very rural, but the road goes into town for whatever that's worth.

Interesting they aren't naming the employer. Brooklyn, Iowa. Gee, let me think who is the largest employer. That could be Manatt's a huge Republican contributor. Will Kim or Donald let that be known.
Just close the thread mods. I’m tired of this political crap. Thought maybe it has stopped after the warning but some can’t.
This is an awful ending, really hoped she was alive somewhere.
Since the right is politicizing this already: if it turns out she was killed by a firearm, can we talk about it because he was here illegally, or can we not talk about it because now is not the time to talk about gun control?

Your post will probably be deleted for being political, but I am more concerned because they are big ISU backers.
Somebody who claimed to know told me earlier today (before his name was released) that it was an undocumented immigrant that worked on a nearby dairy farm.
