BREAKING: Missing Iowa Student Found Dead

This is heartbreaking.

Perhaps you’ve heard the name “Mollie Tibbetts” on the news lately. She’s an Iowa student who’s been missing for over a month after going on a run near her boyfriend’s home. She didn’t show up for work on July 19, and her family immediately knew something was wrong. They said she wasn’t the kind of person who would deliberately stop all contact with her loved ones.

The last person who saw her? Her boyfriend, Dalton Jack.

Jack told reporters he left his home at about 5 a.m. to drive to his job at a construction company located about 50 miles away. Tibbetts was to stay at his home and watch his dog while he was out of town for work.

Afternoon: Tibbetts was seen during the day out on a run wearing gym shorts, a black sports bra and running shoes, loved ones told reporters.

An avid runner who liked to track her progress, Tibbetts likely would have taken her phone and worn her Fitbit, which logs steps and distance a runner travels, her family said.

Jack said he opened a Snapchat message from Tibbetts, who appeared to be inside when she took the photo. He opened the message about 10 p.m., but the time the photo was taken is not clear.

The search has been ongoing since then, which brings us to today’s sad news. Fox News is reporting that her body has been found.

The body of missing college student Mollie Tibbetts was found Tuesday, two sources told Fox News, bringing an end to a more than a month-long search that captured national headlines.

Details about where the body was located were not released.
