She Vanished After Going Out For A Run In Her Small Town Then Was Found Dead In A Corn Field A Month Later And Her Killer Was Just Sentenced To Life

Brooklyn, Iowa. Mollie Tibbetts was a 20-year-old college student who was born in San Francisco, California. Mollie spent most of her childhood in a rural agricultural city in Iowa called Brooklyn.

Mollie’s parents got divorced and her mom decided to move them back to where she had grown up; Brooklyn.

The entire city has a population of less than 2,000, so you can imagine just how small Brooklyn really is.

Brooklyn is best known for its collection of flags and the fact that the famous actor John Wayne spent some of his childhood living there.

It’s a quiet and secure place to live. It’s the kind of place where everyone looks out for one another.

The kind of place where people don’t even think twice about leaving their front doors unlocked.

So when Mollie laced up her sneakers to go out for a run on July 18th, 2018, she had no reason to be concerned for her safety.

After Mollie had graduated from high school (where she picked up a passion for cross country running and acting in the school plays) she went to the University of Iowa and studied psychology.
