Tricia,
Thanks for the warning. That being said, I have to get offline awhile. How can we overlook who he is or that he is here illegally? I mean, as a human being, as a member of these United States, the sheer horror of what she must have gone through should make our blood boil. This could be my daughter, my sister, my granddaughter, my friend. Time folks stood up for what is right. There are killers all over this country. How many came from countries that do not value human life, we may never know.

Thanks for the WS site. You do great work and we do appreciate you.

If I allowed a political discussion about illegal immigration Websleuths would melt down in minutes. Seriously. The forum would go under from the massive amount of hatred that would spew from both sides and attract others who love to fight about politics.

The fact of the matter is this man is charged with 1st-degree murder not with being an illegal immigrant. If you want to discuss the illegal immigration problem feel free, on another forum. Not here.
Today and for the rest of this discussion, we will focus on Mollie and the facts of the case.

Illegal or not he killed Mollie.
 
Remember everyone please no political discussion.

Rivera was in the U.S. illegally. That is a whole other topic that we are not going to take on at this time.

Discuss the crime itself and the surrounding investigation.

Tricia
 
The prominent Iowa family hires a number of migrant workers and accommodates them in a series of trailers and properties, including a tumbledown dwelling on 200th Street, Brooklyn.

Public records also linked Monarrez to a dilapidated house next to the trailer which sits on 39 acres of farmland and is a six-minute drive from the spot along 385th Avenue where Rivera allegedly dragged Mollie into his car.

Does anyone know at what corner or street did he grab her/stabbed her/ran her down? Are there houses around where "it" happened? Are there only cornfields? Was there any houses she could have ran to? Could anyone hear her scream?

Precious Mollie, I am so sorry you had to endure this brutality. I pray you closed your eyes as your heart was slowing to a stop and then opened your eyes to God. You were such a precious young lady and I am so sorry for you and your family.
 
Does anyone know who owns the farm where Mollie was found? Has the name been released?

Dane Lang, co-owner of Yarrabee Farms, confirmed to DailyMail.com that he had lived in a trailer on the farm 'for the past couple of years.'

Dane's brother is Craig Lang, former president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and a 2018 Republican candidate for state secretary of agriculture.

@Sarah J. Scott
"We shouldn’t Idealize her? I think you could’ve gone without saying that. MOO"

I apologize for upsetting you. I was responding to someone who had said what Mollie "would have done," because she was "smart." My point was that people, no matter how smart they are, can react to stress and fear in different ways, and we do not always know them, or know ourselves, well enough to know what those reactions will be.
