So, let us try to narrow a few facts down, from the excellent reporting:
“Investigators searching for Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa have discovered the body of a young white woman in her 20s”
So — a body has been found in the state of Iowa.
“The unidentified woman’s remains were found in Lee County”
And this body has been found in Lee County.
“. . . about 100 miles southeast of Brooklyn, where Tibbetts was last seen jogging on July 18.”
OK.
“The Iowa Department of Public Safety, however, said they have no reason to believe the body is that of Tibbetts.”
So whose is it?
Officials have vetted more than 200 anonymous tips and have searched numerous areas in the search for the University of Iowa psychology major.
Law enforcement officials have repeatedly combed through fields and hog farms in Deep River, Iowa, about a 20-minute drive from where Tibbetts was last seen, but have declined to say why they are focusing on those areas.
“As leads come in, and information is evaluated, the investigative team responds to those and prioritizes those,” Iowa Department of Public Safety official Kevin Winker told CBS News. “I would expect those searches to continue.”
Farm owner Wayne Cheney reportedly told Fox News he was questioned at least two times by investigators, whom he has allowed to search his property and cellphone, but said he would not take a polygraph test.
“I don’t even remember what they asked me,” he told WHO-TV of his interactions with law enforcement, noting he did not know Tibbetts. “It was a waste of my time, I know that.”
Here’s what I was referring to. Another article, though, said that the investigation at the truck stop was inconclusive, and that the reported sighting by only one person wasn’t corroborated by other witnesses or video.
Mollie Tibbetts possibly spotted at Kansas City-area truck stop last week, police say

The Lee County case had nothing to do with Mollie.
The guy turned himself in and was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident resulting in a death.

OTOH, there have been half a dozen of girls/young women in Iowa out walking/jogging who have had kidnapping attempts on them in the days around when Mollie disappeared.
IMO, she was taken by someone known to her. Perhaps they pulled along side her during the jog before she got to her mother’s for dinner and she willingly got into the vehicle with them. I think the hog farmer is just a suspect of convenience for the LEOs and he had nothing to do with it.
The LEOs aren’t giving out any info so can’t tell if they know anything or not. The msm, through their own made up fake news or sloppiness can’t agree on much of anything in this case. They’re reporting is all over the page contradicting each other and themselves.
