Mollie went for a run on July 17, 2018, and vanished. She had been in contact with family and her boyfriend leading up to her run, which was a regular part of her life. A series of pings from her phone and Fitbit, combined with social media and text messages, helped establish a timeline of that night, but a series of searches were unable to find her.
