Missing Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts has been found dead a month after vanishing.
The 20-year-old’s remains were found on Tuesday according to police sources cited by Fox News.

The student was staying alone overnight in her boyfriend’s home the night she went missing.
Mollie Tibbetts has been found dead a month after vanishing. The 20-year-old vanished on July 18
She was last seen going for a jog in the neighborhood at around 8pm.
Last week, the FBI said they believed she had been abducted by someone she knew. They warned that the person was ‘hiding in plain sight’ and had even attended vigils held in her honor.
The student’s heartbroken family and boyfriend had a private meeting with Vice President Mike Pence and an award fund for information about the case reached hundreds of thousands of dollars.
No one was arrested in connection with her disappearance. Pig farmer Wayne Cheney was questioned several times and had his property searched after police found a red t-shirt that was similar to one owned by the student on his property.

The search for Tibbetts zeroed in on five areas (above), including a truck stop and car wash, in the rural Iowa town where she vanished from a month ago. It remains unknown where her body was found on Tuesday

Mollie was staying alone in the home she shared with her boyfriend Jack Dalton (above) in Brooklyn when she vanished. He is not a suspect in her disappearance

Mollie’s father Rob went back to California, where he lives, last week for what he called a much needed ‘break’ from the investigation
He took a polygraph and maintained throughout that he had never met Mollie nor did he know what happened to her.
In the past few days, Mollie’s father Rob went to California for a ‘break’.
He said he had been urged by authorities to do so.
He had been cleared as a potential suspect as had Mollie’s boyfriend Dalton Jack and his older brother Blake.
The youngsters lived together in a home in Brooklyn but neither of the brothers was home on the night Mollie vanished. Both were working in towns dozens of miles away.

This is the house Mollie was staying in alone when she vanished. It remains unclear if she ever returned home from her evening jog on July 18
