New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I have a question about the reward amount; in the article you say it reached $ 385,000, but the cited source gives it as $ 366,000. Please correct this discrepancy. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5

We want the reader to click and read the article, do we not? Thus, I would say that including the dollar amount in the hook detracts from its effectiveness. I have edited the ALT1 hook to include the detail about her body being located in a cornfield.

The amount discrepancy has been addressed. I've seen mentions of $ 385,000 but the source in the article references $ 366,000. I will attempt to find a reliable source for the larger amount, but have made the prose match the provided source, for now.

Source: "With donations from coast to coast, more than $ 366,000 has been raised from 226 donors as a reward fund for information leading to the safe return of Tibbetts, a record for the 36-year-old Crime Stoppers of Central Iowa."

Drive-by comment: Not saying how much money was offered takes away from the hookiness IMO. It might also be hookier to describe that she was found in a cornfield. I'm sure many readers, like myself, followed this case.

Thank you. ALT1 hook refs verified and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. I think this should be promoted ASAP, as it is of high interest in the current news cycle.
