“Law enforcement and hundreds of others have devoted countless hours to the investigation,” said Kevin Winker, director of investigative operations for the Iowa Department of Public Safety
Dog were also used in the investigations in order to gather extra proof.
Moreover, officials also mentioned that they were going to examine her FitBit, a device that tracks physical activity and also features a GPS.
The girl’s father said that he truly believes that there are people out there that currently know something in order to locate his daughter but are unaware of its importance.
“It doesn’t matter what we’re going through, we just need people to think — because somebody knows something and they don’t even know it’s important,” Rob Tibbetts said.
