Cultural norms differ when it comes to the treatment of women, children, animals, property, etc. It's just a fact. Certain countries are referred to as "third world" for a reason.
Yeah, because they remained neutral during the Cold War, and didnt align themselves with NATO nor the Communists,
It has nothing to do with how they treat women, children, animals, etc...
That's a crime. So they'd rather not know what happened to her? Her body returned for burial has no value?
I think the original reward was $5K wasn't it, when they just wanted an arrest and conviction? I'd hope they'd reward that amount at the very least. And if some of the funds are returned to the Tibbett's family I would hope they'd offer it to the person who returned their daughter. All the crime shows I've ever watched, the family says the worst part is not knowing where your loved one is, if they're alive or not.
I've heard from various sources over the years that crime stoppers does their best not to pay rewards, but was never sure if it was true.
Ridiculous. The reward should be paid to the homeowner who provided the footage which led to the arrest of the alleged perpetrator. The footage directly led to Mollie being found. It should not matter whether she was found dead or alive. She will now have a proper burial. Her parents will have peace knowing what happened to Mollie (although I am sure it does not diminish the anguish of her death).
These people begged for help locating their daughter. She is found. End of story. Pay up.

I can't remember, was it said how the police got the video footage? Did the homeowners go to the police with it, or did the police request to review their recordings from the night Mollie went missing?

The below dated August 22
Investigators spoke to hundreds of people in the search for clues about Mollie Tibbetts' disappearance, but weeks after she vanished it was security camera footage that finally gave them a first glimpse of the man accused of killing her.
The 20-year-old student went missing on July 18 in Brooklyn, Iowa, after going for a jog. Authorities charged Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, with first-degree murder charges on Tuesday.
Here's how investigators arrested Rivera and how they found a body believed to be that of Tibbetts.
As the weeks passed, a reward for information on her whereabouts kept growing and reached nearly $400,000. Investigators got thousands of tips, rolled out an interactive website to help jog the public's memory, and even looked into Tibbetts' data from a fitness tracker.
About a week or two ago, a neighbor gave police his security cameras.
They watched the footage for hours before they could spot Tibbetts, said Rick Rahn, a special agent in charge at the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
The footage showed her running through an area east of Brooklyn and a car moving close to her. The black Chevy Malibu drove back and forth numerous times before it just started following her, according to an affidavit.
They linked the car to Rivera and "from that we were able to track his pattern in the routes in which he took," Rahn said.
He didn't resist when authorities tried to detain him on Monday, Rahn said.
I'm hoping Mollie's dad will step up and do the right thing by instructing crime stoppers to reward the homeowner.....it irks me that crime stoppers in her state may well keep much of the money in their " fund "...to possibly be used to help pay for a golf outing or a convention to Vegas .....and once the original reward amount was established you don't change the rules of claiming the reward as the reward becomes higher...
The reward money was returned to the donors. Because the reward was for her safe return. Since she was not returned safe, no reward money will be paid to anyone.
So actually technology is what solved the case of her missing everyone says how small town is so crime free, but if someone installed security cameras on their home not so crime free. I have security cameras installed on my home it's not easy to do and not cheap for decent camera. It takes some amount of crime to push a home owner to install cameras. This business about how you left keys in the ignition and homes unlocked in small towns isn't so true. It may have been in the 1970's, but today's small towns are riddled with un-employment, and drugs.
