Here's a timeline of events from her disappearance to the tragic 
discovery.

Monday, July 16
This was the last day Dalton Jack, Tibbetts' high school 
sweetheart, said he saw his girlfriend in person.

Tuesday, July 17: Her boyfriend leaves town

Jack drove to his job at a construction company about 100 miles 
away, according to ABC News. Tibbetts was living with Dalton and 
his brother, Blake, for the summer.

Her boyfriend was still away when Tibbetts was discovered 
missing. Blake was also away visiting his fiancee in Ames, he 
told the Associated Press. Tibbetts was watching Blake's dogs 
for him.

Police have cleared both Dalton and Blake Jack as suspects.

Wednesday, July 18: Last sighting

5:30 p.m.: Tibbetts' older brother, Jake, dropped Mollie off at 
her boyfriend's house, where she was still staying alone with 
the dogs. Investigators said Jake Tibbetts is not a suspect.

7:30 p.m According to a "reasonable timeline" constructed by 
authorities, Tibbetts went for a jog around this time and was 
seen running on the city streets of Brooklyn.

On her run she was believed to be wearing "dark colored running 
shorts, a pink sports top and running shoes, color unknown," 
according to Iowa DCI. They are taking a look at any 
surveillance footage they can find, especially around the three 
different routes she would normally take. Jack said she would 
have taken her fitness tracker and phone with her on her run.

8:30 p.m. Brooklyn man Devin Riley said he saw a woman jog past 
his home around this time that he later believed to be Tibbetts. 
When he realized what he had seen, he contacted authorities.

10 p.m. Jack opened a SnapChat from Tibbetts. The snap contained 
a selfie Tibbetts took, and Jack said she appeared to be inside. 
It's unclear what time the photo was taken, but investigators 
believe it was taken on Wednesday.

Authorities originally believed Mollie may have gone missing 
during the run, but Tibbetts' brother Jake told KCCI that 
authorities now think she may have been at Jack's home doing 
homework as late as 10 p.m. Neighbor Dave Collum told the 
Associated Press that investigators also told him Tibbetts had 
returned home after jogging past his house, according to data 
from her Fitbit.

When asked about this at a July 31 press conference, the 
investigative team declined to discuss whether or not they 
believe Tibbetts returned home from her run. They also declined 
to discuss when they believe Tibbetts sent the snap that her 
boyfriend later opened.

Thursday, July 19: Reported missing

Morning: Jack sent Tibbetts a message, but he said he didn't 
notice it went unread.

Afternoon: Tibbetts worked at a day camp. A coworker of 
Tibbetts' called Jack to tell him she hadn't shown up for work 
and also hadn't called in sick. Jack began calling loved ones, 
none of whom had seen her at any time on Thursday.

Later Thursday: Tibbetts' family reported her missing to police 
on Thursday.

Friday, July 20

A Facebook group called "Finding Mollie Tibbetts" was created to 
help find her. The group is used to distribute fliers and 
organize the search.

WOI reports that hundreds of people turned out to help with the 
search. The public is asked to contact the Poweshiek County 
Sheriff's Office with any tips.

The University of Iowa, where Tibbetts is due to be a sophomore, 
releases a statement that they are monitoring the situation and 
offering support where needed.
