Missing Iowa student's mother says abductor can claim reward money if she's set free

Mollie Tibbetts' mother believes she may have been abducted. She said the kidnapper could claim the reward money after setting Tibbetts free. Calderwood believes her daughter is still alive and possibly being held captive.

Tibbett's father begged the public to send tips, which can be done anonymously through Crime Stoppers.

"This is a fight for our daughter," Rob said. "We are told very little by the authorities, for a very good reason….they don't need to share information with someone who might be implicated in this."

Kevin Winker, investigative operations director for the Iowa Department of Public Safety, said Friday he knows the tight-lipped approach is frustrating for people who are eager to know what happened to 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts.

Mollie's boss at the Grinnell Regional Medical Centre, Chad Nath, said she was expected to arrive for work around 8am on July 19, but she never showed up. She was due to be part of a group of ten staff taking around 75 kids to the Poweshiek County fair.

Day camp staff are typically supplied with two work-issue red shirts bearing the company's logo though they would occasionally ask for a third.

Nath described Mollie, who worked there the previous summer also, as 'happy go lucky' and 'dependable'.

Mollie has been described as an intern but the ten-week position was actually paid work.

Mother of missing Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts says she does not believe she returned home | Daily Mail Online

• Calderwood said she does not believe her daughter returned to the home after her jog because the two dogs were found locked in the basement. 'If she slept at the house that night they would have been on the bed with her.'
• Jack said: 'If someone was coming for Mollie, one of the dogs, the lab-pit mix which is the bigger of the two, would probably have done something about it.'
• Investigators are believed to have found evidence Mollie had been using her MacBook Pro laptop on the evening of July 18. Calderwood said that a look at the internet history suggested Mollie had been working on a homework assignment for her Roman Civilization class.
• Mollie's mom said that everything she took on her run, including her iPhone, FitBit, earbuds and an armband have not been located.
• It was reported that Mollie's red t-shirt had been found, but her mom says Mollie owned two of them and they are both in her room. Mollie may have had a 3rd shirt which is missing, but her mom is unsure.
• Her car, a wallet containing a driving license and debit card, and an unused passport, have all been located, according to her mother.
  
• Laura Calderwood said Mollie ran for about 45 minutes every evening.
  
• She left Dalton's home and was last seen by a neighbor, Nate Hopwood, who lives a few hundred yards away in West Pershing Drive.
  
• Snap Inc. says the reason they often will not be able to retrieve Snap content is that they delete each snap from their servers once all recipients have viewed it.

Missing Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts' father says not too late for abductor to return her

As FBI forensic experts sift through data from Mollie's digital footprint, Rob described his family as convinced someone in a small community such as Brooklyn must know something. He called on anyone suspicious of a loved one, a family or friend acting unusual, to come forward, saying if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear.

“If someone out there is holding Mollie, and they’re in over their head and they’ve made a horrible mistake, you can end it now before it goes any further,” Rob said during an interview Thursday morning with the Des Moines Register.

Mollie Tibbetts's disappearance has small Iowa town on edge

Mollie Tibbetts was studying child psychology, Calderwood said, and had plans to go to graduate school and get her doctorate.

“She wanted to help troubled children,” Calderwood said. “And she talked about wanting to write.”

“She knew exactly what she wanted to do and exactly what she wanted her life to look like,” he said. “And she had it all timed out from college to grad school to getting married and buying a house and having kids.”

The parents said there had been quiet talk of marriage between Tibbetts and her boyfriend, Dalton Jack. The two are high school sweethearts who have been together for about three years, they said.

“Eventually someone is going to come forward with something that will break this thing open,” the father said.

“I don’t think this is random,” he continued. "Someone we know or someone Mollie was familiar with knows what happened and has information that can help us. And now I think they’re in over their head and don’t know how to end this. All they have to do is make that call to CrimeStoppers and let Mollie go.”

Richard Rahn, special agent in charge of the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Division of Criminal Investigation, said data from Tibbetts’ FitBit, a GPS-enabled activity tracker, has been “helpful” and could be “key” in locating her. Rahn declined to say at the time whether investigators have found her FitBit or if they know its location.

“At this point, we don’t know her exact whereabouts but we continue to look. We are hopeful that she is still alive and so we will continue to think that way until told otherwise,” Rahn told ABC News last week.

In the meantime, Jack told ABC News he’s “just taking it day by day.”

“Doing what we can in the moment to get her safe first,” he said on “GMA” Friday morning.

Determined to bring her home safely, the family has thrown themselves into keeping Mollie’s story alive through news interviews, social media posts, flyers and raising reward funds.

This week, Calderwood said a reward fund was established, in partnership with CrimeStoppers of Central Iowa, at First State Bank in Brooklyn. As of Friday, that fund had raised more than $200,000 in reward money for information leading to the safe return of Mollie Tibbetts. Information and tips can be given anonymously through CrimeStoppers.

“We did this as a way to offer a completely different avenue than going to the authorities,” Calderwood said. “We know that there is someone out there who knows something, and maybe they’re afraid for their own safety if they talk, or maybe they have information on someone close to them. They can give that information anonymously and they don’t have to worry about being afraid of doing that.”

Information given to CrimeStoppers is scrubbed of the identifying details and then passed on to authorities to investigate.
