BROOKLYN, Iowa (KWWL) -- Four years ago Monday, on July 18, 2018, University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts went missing while jogging in her hometown of Brooklyn and never returned.

Her body was found over a month later in a cornfield in rural Poweshiek County, about 15 minutes from her home.

[..]

Family, friends, and the Brooklyn community continue to celebrate Tibbetts' life and honor her legacy with Mollie's Memorial Run every year in September.

The group Mollie's Movement has also honored her legacy by raising awareness on other missing people. The group worked to help spread awareness and find 11-year-old Xavior Harrelson, who also went missing from Poweshiek County in 2021. His body was found in September, but no arrests have been made in the case.

A memorial fund named after Mollie Tibbetts goes to youth struggling with mental health at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital, as it was Mollie's goal to become a child psychologist.
