DES MOINES, Iowa – Investigators are sifting through electronic data from social media accounts and a physical activity tracker to help them in the search for Mollie Tibbetts, the 20-year-old University of Iowa student who has been missing for one week. The avid runner always wore a Fitbit, which tracks the distance traveled and other information. She was seen running the night she disappeared, while dog sitting at the home of her boyfriend and her boyfriend’s brother in Brooklyn, Iowa, about 70 miles east of Des Moines.
