The Iowa hog farmer being grilled by federal agents
about the disappearance of college student Mollie Tibbetts said he has “no
idea” who she is — but suspects “some guy has her,” according to a report.
An FBI agent spoke to Wayne Cheney for about 10
minutes on Friday afternoon, Fox News reported.
Afterwards, Cheney insisted that he has “nothing to
hide,” the outlet reported. He did not provide any more details about the “guy”
he mentioned.
Officials questioned Cheney– who has pleaded guilty
to two unrelated stalking cases in 2009 and 2014 — for hours on Tuesday.
Then on Thursday, search teams scoured ditches near
his farm after finding a possible clue related to her disappearance– a red
shirt.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the clothing belonged
to the Iowa University student. A co-worker at the daycare center where the
20-year-old worked told Fox News they wear red shirts.
That same day, officials asked him to take a
polygraph test, which he declined, the outlet reported.
The feds are expected to return to his farm on
Sunday with more questions, Cheney added.
Tibbetts vanished on July 18. She was last seen
going for a run in Brooklyn, Iowa.
Cheney has not been charged in connection with
Tibbetts’ disappearance.
Investigators have struggled to secure leads in the
case.
A Crimestoppers reward for information climbed
Friday to $220,000.
