Before her disappearance, Tibbetts had been staying at her boyfriend's house to watch his dogs while he was out of town. Her loved ones called police after she stopped answering text messages and failed to show up to work. An investigation into her death is ongoing.
Police will reportedly be releasing "quite a bit" of information at a news conference at 5 p.m. ET Tuesday, according to Mitch Mortvedt with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
