Investigators in Iowa have zeroed in on missing jogger Mollie Tibbetts' digital footprint, including her Fitbit -- which can capture GPS data -- as they work to solve her mysterious disappearance.

Tibbetts, a 20-year-old rising sophomore at the University of Iowa, went jogging the evening of July 18 in her rural town of Brooklyn, Iowa, and never returned. She was reported missing the next day.

Checked the map, Brooklyn is just off I-80, which is concerning because it is believed to be a major trafficking route.

Makes you think about the weird Sherri Papini story from 2016.  Also, there are 2 registered male sex offenders in their 30s in that town.  I'm sure police have already contacted them.

I hope if she got nabbed they can get her back alive. I know it happens more and more, but in rural Iowa small towns many people still don't lock their doors at night. This kind of stuff is a big deal here.

One good thing about the proliferation of digital devices, it makes it harder for people to "disappear". Cellphones, fitness trackers, smartwatches, gps's, etc.

Sadly, I don't think they're going to find her alive... if they find her at all.
