The search for a missing University of Iowa student entered its eighth day on July 26, with investigators examining technology, including her FitBit, while continuing a ground search around the area where she was last seen. Mollie Tibbetts, 20, vanished from Brooklyn, Iowa, where she was dog-sitting at her boyfriend’s brother’s house. She was last seen jogging on the evening of Wednesday, July 18, and sent messages from her phone to her boyfriend and mother later that night. She was reported missing after she didn’t show up for work at a daycamp on July 19.
Authorities have said they are treating Tibbetts’ disappearance as a missing persons case, but have not ruled out an abduction. Brooklyn is a city of about 1,400 people in eastern Iowa, located midway between Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. The community has rallied around Tibbetts’ family as the search continued into the weekend, posting signs and handing out flyers throughout the area.

48 people gone missing in Iowa in past 10 days
Because the vast, VAST majority of those who go missing are either prostitutes or drug addicts. It is exceedingly rare for young females to disappear who aren’t engaged in those types of activities (no matter what the feminists would have you believe).
Because she is white

Yep, just part and parcel...
Not a dig on you, I appreciate the additional link. I did the math yesterday so I don’t remember the #’s. Extrapolate d 48/10 day period to annual and it blew away average /yr and then compare that to IA population/density!
The article says, “Even the planes flying over have a difficulty looking down in the corn rows.”
Possible application for Lidar? Seems to work for finding lost prehistoric structures in the jungles of central America.
A Fitbit communicates through cellphone towers or wifi so the police could potentially track her movements after her last contact with her mother.
Thanks.
If her FitBit and mobile phone data wasn't helpful, Lidar won't work. Unless the dog ate her, it is likely that she was abducted and killed, and her body may or may not show up, ever. That's three crime scenes -- abduction, murder, and disposal. In a rural area, it'll probably be either the nearest male neighbor to where she was dog-sitting, or someone along either the jogging or dog-walking route.

That could easily be true.
“Possible application for Lidar?”
I would think so! I believe that there are drones available with Lidar - as well as thermal imaging. Obviously thermal is good for a living, warm body. But also a deceased body would have different thermal properties than the soils around it. Scan after the sun has set, or before it rises.
any response from Senators & Governor?
4 years later her murderer was found in a Florida prison where he was being held on other charges. Evidently he told a fellow inmate that he had killed a girl and when asked who, he said it was the one on Unsolved Mysteries......Nancy Manni
