The Iowa Department of Public Safety says a body was found in rural Poweshiek County early today (Tuesday), but are not confirming the identity of the victim.
Greg Willey, the vice president of Crime Stoppers of Central Iowa, says the body is believed to be Tibbetts.
Willey says a nearly $400,000 reward fund for her discovery will now become a reward for information leading to the capture of any suspects.
