"I do believe that she's still alive," says Scott. "I know her and I know how strong she is and I know the attitude she has… She'd never give up on anything."

In the days following, investigators interrogated a pig farmer who lives nearby. Despite the fact that the man has been charged with stalking his ex, he's denied any involvement in the case, and investigators have not given the family any information about the person of interest.
Later, Dalton's neighbor told the FBI that she'd seen a black SUV circling slowly around the area on the night of Mollie's disappearance. Police have yet to find the driver.
"I'm glad that people are… keeping their eyes open," says Scott. "That's the way the case is going to be solved."
Radar readers know the last person who heard from Mollie was Dalton, who opened a Snapchat from her at around 10:00p.m.
