Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 *ARREST* #33

[WideOpen]

@NickMoroff Washington Post Journalist.
SCOOP: Iowa investigators have made arrest in Mollie Tibbetts murder, and the suspect has a fed immigration detainer, meaning likely in the country illegally

This might make so much more sense now with the odd behavior of all.
Could they have known all along? Vice president Pence inviting the family to speak with him. wow, unbelievable. POOR MOLLIE!

I wonder if it was a fair employee????

Wind farm or other construction?

Oh my God, we've been following this case like it's a criminal mastermind serial killer and it's going to be some drifter below the radar of social media and polite society, isn't it.

My bet is on a local that LE has suspected for some time now. Seems like the searches have been targeting the area -- as if they know where she was likely to be located in general, but not exactly where.

People brought up farm workers early on in the case but everyone said this type of corn was picked by machine, there were no farm workers?

Sounds like an old John Wayne movie with Walter Brennan or Arthur Hunnicut.....LOL !!

That was the inspiration, so I'm going to mark this one a success.

Have you guys seen this?

Investigators: Suspect in Mollie Tibbetts death is in custody, subject to immigration detainer

"
More than a month after Mollie Tibbetts went out for a jog and disappeared — and days after investigators searching for the missing Iowa college student said they were focusing their efforts on five locations — her body has been found, the Associated Press reported.

Iowa state investigators said Tuesday they have a suspect in custody who is subject to a federal immigration detainer, typically an indication that the person is present in the United States illegally"

Iowa state investigators said Tuesday they have a suspect in custody who is subject to a federal immigration detainer, typically an indication that the person is present in the United States illegally.

“We’re not going to release anything more until the press conference,” said Mitch Mortvedt, the assistant director of Iowa’s Division of Criminal Investigation. He said officials would provide more details at a press conference scheduled for 4 p.m. central time.

(sorry rhapsdy ... we were posting at the same time, thanks!)

Has to be some type of local to know where to leave her, don't you all think? He may have been working and living in the community illegally

 

[seeker179]

If the person being held in custody is indeed an illegal immigrant, I could imagine a very outside possibility that this *perhaps could* have been an accident gone very wrong (hit and run that was tried to be covered up), and the person responsible for the accident didn't want to come forward because of their immigration status.

However, regardless of who the guilty party is, I still believe it's less likely to have been an accident than it is to have been foul play.

Body found believed to be Mollie Tibbetts, news conference planned

This is just terrible news, devastating.....scary as heck!

 

[Millhouse]

Breaking**** Washington post says a suspect in custody and is being held on an immigration detainer. Can someone copy and past the story here, I’m out of views on that website.

Use Chrome in Incognito mode- it gets around most article limits.

The WaPo is also very cheap or free if you are a teacher, student, have a .gov email address, or a .mil email address.

Not for field work, but many hog confinements are staffed by immigrants.

He may be a farmworker, but illegal aliens do not only do farm work. It's a common misperception.

No. His presence was planned months in advance. The Iowa fair is a major political event. This was simply a coincidence, nothing more than that.

No other types of farms that require farm hands? I'm from rural Ohio and even though there are a lot of cornfields there are also workers that come from south of the border looking for other types of farm work.

Some of us from Iowa wrote about annual detasseling.

 

[Skigirl]

My other prediction is that she is seen on the car wash video with the guy who is in custody. Either having been abducted by him before they were caught on the car wash camera, or there is footage of her being abducted from the car wash.

Can someone link me to a streaming of the PC when it comes about. Currently at work and unable to search for one.
