Oxygen True Crime’s Dateline: Secrets Uncovered returns with a chilling look at the disappearance of Mollie Tibbetts in “The Last Mile.” The episode centers on the baffling vanishing of the young woman in rural Iowa, a case that gripped the nation with its unsettling blend of the ordinary and the unimaginable. Tibbetts, a college student home for the summer, vanished while on an evening jog, leaving behind a distraught family and a community desperate for answers.
For a month, the investigation seemed to yield little, each passing day bringing more anxiety and uncertainty. Then, a break: grainy surveillance footage emerged, capturing a fleeting glimpse of Tibbetts jogging, her image blurred by distance and the limitations of the camera. But trailing her, almost like a phantom, was a black car, its make and model obscured, its driver a cipher. This shadowy vehicle became the focal point of the investigation, a tangible piece of the puzzle in a case otherwise filled with frustrating ambiguity.
Craig Melvin presents the facts of this troubling case.
Dateline: Secrets Uncovered airs Wednesdays at 8:00 PM on Oxygen True Crime.
