The prominent Republican family which owns the farm where Mollie Tibbetts' alleged killer worked have insisted that he passed background checks for migrant workers.

Christhian Rivera, 24, who is from Mexico, was charged with first degree murder on Tuesday after leading police to a corn field where Mollie's body was dumped.

Dane Lang, co-owner of Yarrabee Farms along with Eric Lang, confirmed that Rivera had worked there for four years and was an employee 'of good standing.'

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

Rivera's employer Yarrabee Farms (pictured) denied hiring illegal immigrants and said the family-run firm would cooperate fully with the Tibbetts inquiry

Dane's statement said: 'First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Mollie Tibbetts.

'This is a profoundly sad day for our community. All of us at Yarrabee Farms are shocked to hear that one of our employees was involved and is charged in this case.

'This individual has worked at our farms for four years, was vetted through the government's E-Verify system, and was an employee in good standing.

'On Monday, the authorities visited our farm and talked to our employees. We have cooperated fully with their investigation.'

The E-Verify site allows employers to establish the eligibility of employees, both US or foreign, by comparing a worker's Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 with data held by the government.

The employee is eligible to work in the US if the data matches. If it doesn't, the worker has only eight federal government work days to resolve the issue.

Despite the Lang family using the system, police say Rivera had been in the US illegally for between four and seven years.

Investigators say Rivera followed Mollie in his dark Chevy Malibu as she went for a run around 7.30pm on July 18.

He 'blacked out' and attacked her after she threatened to call the police unless he left her alone, officers said.

Rivera was identified by surveillance footage obtained in the last couple of weeks from someone's home.

It showed him following the student in his car and Mollie running ahead of him. It is not yet clear how Mollie died.


Mollie Tibbetts was abducted on July 18 as she jogged through Brooklyn, Iowa, her hometown

Earlier Monday a member of the Lang family which runs Yarrabee Farms told DailyMail.com he was a personal friend of Mollie and her brothers and was ‘devastated’ by the news of her death.

It’s understood the company hires around 15 migrant workers, most of whom are believed to be Mexican
.
Rivera is believed to have lived with a number of other migrant workers on a secluded farmhouse in Brooklyn owned by their employer.

Workers associated with the farm told DailyMail.com that they barely knew Rivera but confirmed that he lived there with a girlfriend named Iris Monarrez and their baby.

They said Iris had gone to stay with her mother after Rivera was arrested in Mollie's murder.

Neighbors told DailyMail.com they had seen a black Chevy Malibu just like the one Rivera was driving when he abducted Mollie regularly driving to and from the property for the past couple of years.

Rivera has been living illegally in Iowa for between four and seven years



Rivera is from Guayabillo in Guerrero, Mexico and was in the United States illegally

Mollie's autopsy is planned for Wednesday but the results may not be released for weeks.

Rivera told police that after seeing her, he pulled over and parked his car to get out and run with her.

Mollie grabbed her phone and threatened to call the police before running off ahead. The suspect said that made him 'panic' and he chased after her.

That's when he 'blacked out.'

He claims he remembers nothing from then until he was back in his car, driving.

He then noticed one of her earphones sitting on his lap and blood in the car then remembered he'd stuffed her in the truck.

Rivera drove her then to a corn field where he hauled her body out of the truck and hid her beneath corn stalks.

He was arrested on Friday after police honed in on his vehicle by viewing surveillance footage obtained from a private resident's home surveillance cameras.

'He followed her and seemed to be drawn to her on that particular day. For whatever reason he chose to abduct her,' Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation special agent Rick Ryan said on Tuesday afternoon.

But it's still unclear what the motive behind the killing was, Rahn said.

Rivera told police he had seen her in the area before. She is friends on Facebook with the mother of his daughter but it is not clear if he and Mollie knew each other.


Mollie was abducted while running along 385th street, in Brooklyn, Iowa, on July 18, and her body was discovered just over a month later in a corn field in Poweshiek County

President Donald Trump chirped in during his Tuesday address at a rally in Charleston, West Virginia, blaming immigration laws for Mollie's death.

'You heard about today with the illegal alien coming in very sadly from Mexico,' he said. 'And you saw what happened to that incredible beautiful young woman.

'Should've never happened, illegally in our country. We've had a huge impact but the laws are so bad. The immigration laws are such a disgrace.

'We are getting them changed but we have to get more Republicans.'

Gov. Kim Reynolds complained about the 'broken' immigration system that allowed a 'predator' to live in her state.

'I spoke with Mollie's family and passed on the heartfelt condolences of a grieving state,' Reynolds said. 'I shared with them my hope that they can find comfort knowing that God does not leave us to suffer alone. Even in our darkest moments, He will comfort and heal our broken hearts.'

At 3pm on Monday, law enforcement arrived at the farmhouse where Rivera worked, according to a neighbor.

FBI agents were still searching the house and a number of nearby trailers on Tuesday afternoon.

Neighbors said the building housed a 'revolving door' of hired migrant workers but that they had never caused any problems.

FBI agents attended another nearby property belonging to the farm overnight Monday to quiz Rivera's co-workers, most of whom claim only to understand Spanish.

'There was a panic when they arrived because they thought at first that it was ICE launching a raid,' a local source told DailyMail.com.

'A lot of these people arrive with forged documents. But it turned it was the FBI and it was about Mollie.'

According to public records the property being searched is owned by Mary and Craig Lang, whose family own the nearby Yarrabee Farms.

Mollie was staying alone overnight in her boyfriend's home the night she went missing and was last seen going for a jog in the neighborhood at around 8pm but what happened afterwards has remained a complete mystery for weeks.

Her boyfriend opened a Snapchat photograph from her at 10pm which appeared to suggest that she was indoors but it is not known what time Mollie sent it.

In his arrest warrant, police describe Rivera's chilling confession.

'Rivera admitted to making contact with the female running in Brooklyn and that he pursued her in his vehicle in an area east of Brooklyn. Defendant Rivera stated he parked the vehicle, got out and was running behind her and alongside of her.

'Rivera stated that she grabbed her phone and said: 'I'm gonna call the police.'

He went to get her out of the trunk and noticed blood on the side of her head... he then dragged Tibbetts on foot to a secluded location in a cornfield, put her over his shoulder and took her 20 meters into the field where he left her, covered up in some leaves

'Rivera said he then panicked and he got mad and that he 'blocked' his memory which is what he does when he gets very upset and doens't remember anything after that until he came to at an intersection.

'Rivera stated he then made a u-turn, drove back to an entrance to a field and then drove into a driveway to a cornfield
.
'He noticed there was an ear piece from headphones in his lap and that this is how he realized he put her in the trunk.

'He went to get her out of the trunk and he noticed blood on the side of her head.

'He described the female's clothing, what she was wearing including an ear phone or head phone set.

'He described that he dragged Tibbetts on foot from his vehicle to a secluded location in a cornfield.

'He put her over his shoulder and took her about 20 meters into the cornfield and he left her covered in some corn leaves and that he left her there, face up.

'The Defendant was able to use his phone to determine the route he traveled from Brooklyn.

'Rivera then later guided law enforcement to her location from memory,' the affidavit continues.

Rivera's arrest and the discovery of the student's body brings an end to five weeks of tireless investigation by the FBI, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and local sheriffs.

Rivera's initial court appearance is scheduled for 1pm Wednesday in Montezuma.

If convicted of first-degree murder he faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.

Last week, the FBI said it believed she had been abducted by someone she knew.


President Donald Trump chirped in during his Tuesday address at a rally in Charleston, West Virginia, blaming immigration laws for Mollie's death.

They warned that the person was 'hiding in plain sight' and had even attended vigils held in her honor but no arrests were made.

A $400,000 fund for her safe return was established but it did not produce any leads either.

Greg Willey of Crime Stoppers of Central Iowa said her family and investigators would dedicate their resources to catching her killer 'once they catch their breath'.

The Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation refused to share details of the discovery on Tuesday when contacted by DailyMail.com.

The only person who had been visibly scrutinized by police after she went missing was pig farmer Wayne Cheney.

He was grilled by officers more than once and had his property searched twice after search crews found a red t-shirt that was similar to one owned by the student near his land.

It was never established if the t-shirt did in fact belong to Mollie.

Cheney maintained his innocence throughout media interviews and took a polygraph test to try to rule himself out. He was never charged.

In the past few days, Mollie's father Rob Tibbetts, who has been in Iowa since she disappeared, went to California for a 'break'.



Mollie's father Rob went back to California, where he lives, last week for what he called a much needed 'break' from the investigation

He said he had been urged by authorities to do so and that it was a 'half way' point in the investigation.

Rob was not in the state when his daughter disappeared.

Her boyfriend, Dalton Jack, was away for work when she disappeared as was his older brother Blake.

The youngsters lived together in a home in Brooklyn with Blake's fiancee who was also cleared.

As the hunt for her intensified, authorities set up a website that was dedicate to finding her.

It provided a map detailing five locations police considered to be significant. The website also offered a tips page which generated hundreds of clues about what may have happened to her.

The news of her death shook the small town of Brooklyn where most residents are known to each other.

The Rev. Joyce Proctor at Grace United Methodist Church said she'd been praying for Tibbetts' enemies 'to do the right thing... and release her.'

Sadly that never happened.

Proctor, who said she heard Tibbetts 'was a wonderful young lady', said people were in shock their little town isn't as safe as they first believed it was, the Des Moines Register reported.

'I told the ladies at our prayer group this morning that if it's not safe in Brooklyn it's not safe anywhere,' she said. 'And I think that's been a hard thing to realize for a lot of people here.'

Cristhian Rivera Posted Gun Pic, Selfies on Facebook

• By Jessica McBride

• Updated Aug 21, 2018 at 7:30pm

Facebook

Cristhian Rivera's social media was filled with pictures of selfies and guns.

Cristhian Rivera, the suspect under arrest in the Mollie Tibbetts’ death, had a Facebook page, and he filled it with selfies and a picture of guns.

A review of the suspect’s social media shows he wrote that he “studied at PREPARATORIA 35,” and went to “en la escuela de la vida.” He wrote that he was from and lived in Guayabillo, Guerrero, Mexico and was single. However, the 24-year-old suspect also indicated he was in Iowa in the United States under a photo posted to the page in May. You can see pictures from Rivera’s Facebook page throughout this article. He was in Iowa working on a dairy farm and living in a farmhouse with other migrant workers, Daily Mail reports.

Cristhian Rivera

Rivera’s name was given as Christian Rivera in many media accounts. However, in court records and social media, his name was given as Cristhian Bahena Rivera. He was in the United States illegally, authorities revealed in a press conference. He is a Mexican national. He filled his page with comments written in Spanish.

Cristhian Rivera

In one exchange on a comment thread with a friend 12 weeks ago, Rivera appeared to joke with the person, writing, “Cuz so ugly I’m that haha.” The friend responded, “You look finished for life.” Rivera wrote, in Spanish, “Q evil haha.” He then added, “You are very evil.”

Cristhian Rivera

He added: “In The United States in the state of Iowa.”

Christhian Rivera Is Being Held on an Immigration Hold

Cristhian Rivera.

Cristhian Bahena Rivera is “subject to immigration detainer,” The Washington Post reported. Although the suspect’s name was widely reported as Christian Rivera, court records give his first name’s spelling as Cristhian.

“We have confirmed with Homeland Security that…he is an illegal alien,” authorities said during the news conference of the suspect, Cristhian Rivera, 24, who resides in rural Poweshiek County, Iowa. They said that Christian Rivera had been in the area for four to seven years. He was charged with an accusation of first-degree murder.

Rivera Is Accused of Confessing That He Abducted Mollie Tibbetts as She Jogged

The above is a photo showing guns that appeared on Rivera’s Facebook page.

Authorities painted a horrific picture of what happened to Mollie Tibbetts, who vanished on July 18, 2018. They said that Rivera allegedly confessed that he “seized Mollie running.” Authorities alleged that he told them he “ran alongside of her or behind her” and Mollie said she was going to call the police and took off running, but he allegedly chased her down. According to authorities, Rivera led them to Mollie’s body. Authorities said Cristhian Rivera was working in the community but weren’t more specific. They said he largely kept to himself.

“He followed her around, circled around a couple times, located her, and then began to interface with her,” authorities said.

Authorities said the break in the case came when they found an individual who had security cameras and were able to identify a black vehicle that they believed belonged to Rivera. Authorities said they tracked the patterns and routes that Rivera allegedly took with the vehicle. They also found images of Mollie running on this video. When interviewed, the suspect also claimed he blacked out and awoke in the area where Mollie was found, authorities revealed. Authorities did not release specifically how Tibbetts was murdered but said an autopsy will be conducted. Mollie was found in a cornfield with cornstalks placed over her, authorities said.

Nick Miroff, national security reporter for The Washington Post, tweeted out the breaking news shortly before authorities confirmed the immigration angle in a news conference. He covers immigration. “SCOOP: Iowa investigators have made arrest in Mollie Tibbetts murder, and the suspect has a fed immigration detainer, meaning likely in the country illegally,” Miroff wrote.

Cristhian Rivera

The Washington Post story by Cleve R. Wootson Jr. also reported the information, adding, “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.”

Poweshiek County is the county that includes Brooklyn, where Mollie was staying when she vanished. It was soon clear that law enforcement activity was focused on a rural area of farm fields near a wildlife area and the small communities of Guernsey and Deep River, Iowa.

Previously, authorities had released a website that asked the public for information about various locations in connection with Mollie’s disappearance.

That website, titled Finding Mollie, said, “On Wednesday, July 18, 2018, Mollie Tibbetts was last seen jogging in Brooklyn, Iowa in the evening hours. There have been no credible sightings of, or communications with, Mollie since that time. Law enforcement is currently seeking additional witnesses and wants to speak to anyone who was in the areas indicated below on July 18, 2018 between the hours of 5PM and 10PM.” It’s not clear, though, what information led authorities to the body after so much time searching. Authorities have not yet announced any suspects.

The law enforcement website had indicated authorities were interested in Mollie’s “boyfriend’s home in Brooklyn, a car wash, a truck stop, a farm more than three miles from downtown Brooklyn, and another farm more than six miles away,” according to CBS News.

The FBI had previously said it was believed Mollie was with someone she knew but never gave information to the public on any suspect or person of interest.

The Search for Mollie Spanned More Than a Month

Mollie’s disappearance sparked national attention and a desperate search by her family after she was last seen jogging while house sitting dogs at a home in rural Brooklyn, Iowa. However, her distraught father had just announced that he was returning to his home in California after a month of searching for Mollie.

It was said that she had left her glasses and contacts behind and Fox News previously reported that a red shirt was located, although it was unclear whether it was Mollie’s and the report was not confirmed by authorities.

'This individual has worked at our farms for four years, was vetted through the government's E-Verify system, and was an employee in good standing.

'On Monday, the authorities visited our farm and talked to our employees. We have cooperated fully with their investigation.'

The E-Verify site allows employers to establish the eligibility of employees, both US or foreign, by comparing a worker's Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 with data held by the government.

So there you have it, E-Verify just verified an illegal alien killer. Now do you understand why I'm not fan of E-Verify? E-Verify isn't designed to track illegal aliens, it's there to track American citizens.

Whose identity did he steal?

Get these parasites off our soil.

Cut off all welfare, food stamps, school and medical care!

No housing, no bank accounts, no taxpayer funded lawyers!



GIVE THEM NO INCENTIVE TO COME HERE!

WE NEED TO ROOT THEM OUT AND FLOOD ICE WITH PHONE CALLS AND PICTURES!

SEND THEM PICTURES OF THEIR LICENSE PLATES TOO SO THEY CAN RUN THOSE!

IF YOU HAVE ILLEGAL ALIENS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD...SEND THOSE LICENSE PLATE PICTURES TO ICE

Further evidence that the E-Verify system allows illegal aliens to get jobs. More evidence that the E-Verify system is not designed to stop illegal aliens. Further evidence that the E-Verify system is part of the North American Union controls for all US, Canadia, and Mexican citizens (along with illegals) to keep control of our population like Real ID.

Hate to say I told you so. But I did.

FBI agents attended another nearby property belonging to the farm overnight Monday to quiz Rivera's co-workers, most of whom claim only to understand Spanish.

'There was a panic when they arrived because they thought at first that it was ICE launching a raid,' a local source told DailyMail.com.

'A lot of these people arrive with forged documents. But it turned it was the FBI and it was about Mollie.'

I'd call that a credible lead. Now get your butts on out there and take care of the other illegals, ICE!

According to the farm owner he was checked over 4 years ago. The program has improved greatly over the years. Besides that, how do we know the farmer is even being truthful? He may just be trying to protect himself with a false statement. Furthermore, when an employer begins using E-Verify, they can't check folks already working for them, only future hires.

E-verify only claims to be 90 something percent accurate. I guess the system can occasionally be beat with forged documents or with another persons social security card. Oh, and this guy has be reported as having several different name variations (aliases).

An American worker wins every time an illegal alien is turned away through E-verify.

No-Match letters need to resume to employers, and every single one followed up on with the employer. When they were sent in the past, not all businesses received them, including those with less than ten employees, which is the case with many small construction crews. Also, if the illegal was hired as an "independent contractor" , receiving a 1099 form, the employer was unlikely to receive one. Document fraud is how most illegals continue to work in this country , and should be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent .

Cristhian Rivera, charged in Mollie Tibbetts' death, worked at a farm owned by a prominent Iowa Republican family

Rick Rahn with Iowa DCI provides details on the murder suspect in the disappearance of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts. Rodney White, rodwhite@dmreg.com






Cristhian Rivera, the man accused in the death of Mollie Tibbetts, worked for a Brooklyn-area farm owned by the brother of a prominent Iowa Republican.



In a statement Tuesday night, Dane Lang, of Yarrabee Farms, said Rivera was an “employee in good standing” and was “shocked to hear” Rivera was implicated.


Dane Lang is the son of Craig Lang, the former president of both the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and the Iowa Board of Regents and a 2018 Republican candidate for state secretary of agriculture. Documents immediately reviewed by the Des Moines Register listed several owners of Yarrabee Farms, including Dane Lang and Eric Lang, Craig's brother.
