The father of a missing University of Iowa student is calling on people who may have information about her whereabouts to speak up. Rob Tibbetts, in an interview with ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America,” said he believes someone knows what happened to his daughter, Mollie Tibbets, who disappeared on July 18 in their hometown of Brooklyn in Poweshiek County.

Mollie had been dog-sitting at the home of her boyfriend, Dalton Jack, who was in Dubuque for work. Rob Tibbetts said the public should forget about consoling him and his family and focus on bringing his daughter home safe.

The FBI, state and local authorities have searched several places around Brooklyn, including some hog farms, but have found no signs of Tibbetts. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s office at 641-623-5679 or email:  tips@poweshiekcosheriff.com.
