BREAKING: Illegal Alien Killed Iowa Student Mollie Tibbetts

'Illegal immigrant is held over death of missing Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts' | Daily Mail Online

An illegal immigrant is being held over the death of missing Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts.

The suspect is being held on a federal immigration detainer, according to officials.


No other information has yet been given.


The 20-year-old's remains were found on Tuesday on a rural property in Poweshiek County close to the town of Guernsey, around 10 miles from Brooklyn, where Mollie vanished on July 18.


The FAA issued a no fly zone in the area which will last until Wednesday morning. It prevents news choppers from flying overhead.


Police are not releasing any information until 4pm local time but people working for Crime Stoppers to help find her say her family has been informed.


The student 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.

Mollie's body was found on August 21, 10 miles from where she vanished in Brooklyn on July 18. There have been several points of interest in the location including five areas close to Brooklyn which investigators zeroed in on. Pig farmer Wayne Cheney also had his home and land searched but he was never arrested. He lives four miles from where Mollie's body was found.



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


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.

The hunt for the missing student lasted five weeks and drummed up hundreds of tips but it remains unclear how she died or what led to the discovery of her body



Now, it will be dedicated to finding the person responsible for her death.

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.

Last week, the student's heartbroken family and boyfriend had a private meeting with Vice President Mike Pence and an award fund for information about the case reached hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Cheney was questioned several times and had his property searched after police found a red t-shirt that was similar to one owned by the student near his property.

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

What happened? It remains unclear who took Mollie or how she died. She is pictured before she vanished on July 18



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'.


https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/2...4858144886.jpg

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. It is unclear if Mollie's body was found at any of those spots.


The website also offered a tips page which generated hundreds of clues about what may have happened to her.


It remains uncertain what led to the discovery of Mollie's body on Tuesday.

This is the house Mollie was staying in alone when she vanished. It remains unclear if she ever returned home from her evening jog on July 18

24-year-old Christian Bajina Rivera has been charged with the first-degree murder of Mollie Tibbetts.

According to reports, Mollie Tibbetts, the 20-year-old Iowa college student who was last seen July 18, has been found dead. Tibbetts, a University of Iowa student, was last seen jogging in Brooklyn, Iowa, over a month ago.

On July 18, Tibbetts’ was dropped off at her boyfriend’s house by her brother so she could dog sit as her boyfriend was working. That night, around 7:30 p.m. local time, Tibbetts was spotted jogging is gym shorts, a black sports bra, and running shoes.

Tibbetts’ disappearance sparked an enormous search that involved local, state and federal authorities and volunteers.
Greg Willey, the vice president of Crime Stoppers of Central Iowa, says a body found Tuesday, August 21, 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.

Richard Rahn, the special agent in charge with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation for the Major Crime Unit, said that more than 200 interviews have been conducted in the investigation into her disappearance.

Man charged with killing Mollie Tibbetts is an undocumented immigrant, authorities say

August 21, 2018


Missing college student Mollie Tibbetts found dead


Authorities have announced a first-degree murder charge against Christian Rivera, 24, in the death of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbets.

Rivera is an undocumented immigrant and led detectives to her body in rural Poweshiek County, according to Iowa investigators.

The charge was filed more than month after 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.

For 34 days, federal, state and local authorities had scoured Poweshiek County for Tibbetts, and sifted through electronic data from her Fitbit, cellphone and social media accounts for any clue about what happened to the woman who was last seen alive while going for an evening run. They’d also interviewed nearly 1,500 people.

Authorities, who had narrowed their search to a carwash, Tibbetts’s boyfriend’s home, a truck stop and two farms.


The University of Iowa student’s last known communication was a July 18 Snapchat message she sent to her boyfriend, Dalton Jack, for whom she was house sitting, according to the Register. Jack, who was out of town, looked at it but didn’t immediately reply.


His “good morning” text the next day received no answer, and Tibbetts didn’t pick up her phone when someone at the day-care center where she worked called to ask why she didn’t show up. Every call went straight to voice mail.


Assistant Director of DCI Field Operations Mitchell Mortvedt told NBC affiliate WHO-DT that Tibbetts’s family members and her boyfriend have been cleared of suspicion.

Her family and dozens of volunteers in the small town of Brooklyn, population nearly 1,500, have been combing ditches, cornfields and empty buildings for any sign of Tibbetts. CBS News affiliate KCCI reported that authorities have also searched pig farms in the area, and last week authorities announced they were narrowing the search.

“It’s frustrating. It’s powerless. We’re racking our brains, thinking what can we think of to tell the investigators,” Kim Calderwood, Tibbetts’s aunt, told the Des Moines Register. “It’s the worst thing — to want to fix something you can’t fix.”


https://www.washingtonpost.com/resiz...img/spacer.gif(Poweshiek County Emergency Management Agency)
Mollie’s brother, Jake Tibbetts, told the newspaper the family went “through stages of scared and sad. And now we’re anxious and confused.”


“Mollie has the biggest heart of anyone we ever knew,” he said. “She was never shy. . . . She had room in her heart for everyone.”

Tibbetts was born in San Francisco and moved to Brooklyn with her mother when she was in second grade. She won state speech competitions, was involved in theater and ran cross-country. She was studying psychology, as her mother did.

As people searched, those closest to Tibbetts asked everyone to hold on to hope — and keep sharing information about her.

“We remain in awe and indebted to the help, creativity, outreach and love that you have shown Mollie and all of us,” Sandi Tibbetts Murphy, a cousin, wrote on the wall of the Finding Mollie Tibbetts Facebook page. “Please keep sharing Mollie’s information so we can bring our girl safely home.”


Greg Willey, of Crime Stoppers of Central Iowa, told the AP that $400,000 raised for information leading to Tibbetts’ safe return will instead go to the person who helps police catch anyone responsible for her death.


“Once they catch their breath, this will turn into a weapon going the other direction to catch the person who did it,” he said.

Christian Bajina Rivera.

Christian Bajina Rivera has been arrested in the death of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts. The 20-year-old from was found dead on August 21, more than a month after she went missing in a case that drew nationwide attention, according to reports.

The 24-year-old Rivera is being held on an immigration detainer and police said they confirmed with the Department of Homeland Security that he is an “illegal alien.” He has been charged with first-degree murder. Rivera is a resident of rural Poweshiek County, Iowa, and has been in the area for about four to seven years, police said at a press conference. He faces a penalty of up to life in prison without parole.

Investigators first approached Rivera on August 20 and police said he was cooperative and was willing to talk about what happened. According to police, surveillance video from Brooklyn residents helped them identify Rivera through a car spotted on a video that showed Tibbetts running before her disappearance.

Tibbetts was last seen the evening of July 18 when she went for a run in her hometown of Brooklyn, Iowa. She had been staying at her boyfriend’s brother’s house, where she was dog-sitting while her boyfriend, Dalton Jack, his brother and his brother’s fiancee were out of town, according to police and her family. She texted her mother that night and sent Jack a Snapchat message, but was not heard from again. When she didn’t show up for work at a day camp on July 19, she was reported missing. Local authorities from the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office were soon joined in the search by the Iowa Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the FBI.

She added she is a “a “beautiful, positive girl.” Tibbetts graduated from Brooklyn, Guernsey, and Malcom High School in 2017, according to her Facebook page. Her aunt told the Register that Tibbetts was on the debate team, ran track and was involved in her local Catholic church, St. Bridget Church.

Calderwood told WOI-TV, “This is not like her at all. She’s a very responsible and conscientious young woman.”

Laura Calderwood told The Gazette her daughter loved life at school, “She’s very intelligent and she loved college and really enjoyed studying. She loves life and lives it to the fullest. She is very happy and social, she loved to sing and perform and she loves caring for the kids at the day care where she works.

Tibbetts’ mother, Laura Calderwood, lives in Iowa, while her father, Robert Tibbetts, lives in Oakland, California. A family member posted on Facebook that Mollie had recently returned home from a visit with her family in California. She has two brothers, Jake and Scott and is the middle child in her family.

During the month that Tibbetts was missing, police followed several leads and searched many location around Brooklyn. The rural area made the search more difficult, authorities said.

Powieshiek County Sheriff Kriegel told ABC News, “We’re surrounded by farm ground: corn and soybeans. Right now the corn is probably eight, nine feet tall. The only way you can search it is basically walk down every other row. It’s difficult. Even the planes flying over have a difficulty looking down in the corn rows.”

Police searched a pig farm in Guernsey, Iowa, multiple times and interviewed a man who was connected to the farm. The man took a polygraph test as part of the investigation, but was eventually cleared.

In the days before Tibbetts’ body was found, police had narrowed the search to five locations in the Brooklyn area, including a car wash, a commercial strip and a truck stop, according to Fox News. It is not clear why police focused on those areas

GUERNSEY, Ia. — An undocumented immigrant is in custody charged with first-degree murder in the Mollie Tibbetts investigation, authorities said.
Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, has been in the area for four to six years, officials said. Charges were filed in Poweshiek County court.
Tibbetts was reported missing on July 19, according to a criminal complaint. Shortly after her disappearance, investigators collected footage from the east side of Brooklyn from the evening of July 18.
The video showed Tibbetts running around Boundary and Middle Streets outside of Brooklyn when a black Chevy Malibu approached her around 7:45 p.m. on July 18.
Footage shows the vehicle, driven by Rivera, going back and forth in the area, according to the criminal complaint.
Officials pulled him in for questioning on Monday where he admitted to "making contact with a female running in Brooklyn" and that he pursued her to an area east of town in Poweshiek County, according to the criminal complaint.
Rivera told officials he exited his vehicles and started "running behind her and alongside her," according to the criminal complaint. Tibbetts then grabbed her phone and told him she was going to call the police, according to the criminal complaint.
He then told officials that he "got mad" and panicked and blocked his memory, which is what happens when "he gets very upset," according to the criminal complaint. Rivera told investigators he doesn't remember anything after that until he arrived at an intersection.
Rivera then told officials that he made a U-Turn, drove to an entrance of a field, pulled into a driveway and rode up to a cornfield, according to the complaint.
He then realized her had earpieces in his lap, which made him realize that Tibbetts was in the trunk, according to the criminal complaint.
Rivera told officials he pulled Tibbetts out of the trunk and found blood on the side of her head, according to the complaint. He then dragged Tibbetts on foot from his vehicle to a secluded location in the cornfield, according to the complaint.
He told officials he then put her over his shoulder and took her 20 meters into the cornfield where he covered her with some cornstalks and left her face up.
Rivera was able to use his cell phone to determine the route he traveled from Brooklyn, according to the complaint. He later guided investigators to Tibbetts location by memory and law enforcement found a deceased female body, according to the complaint.
The physical description matched what Rivera shared with officials and the clothing matched what Tibbetts was reportedly wearing, according to the complaint.

A Mexican national illegally residing in the U.S. has been charged with first degree murder in the disappearance and death of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts, officials said at a press conference at Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office in Iowa Tuesday afternoon.

Christian Bahena Rivera, 24, was charged with murder. He had resided in the area for four to seven years, officials said. He led investigators to the body’s location after confirming that he interacted with her while she was running and she felt threatened by him. Rivera said he “blacked out” at some point during their interaction, officials said.

Her body was found covered with corn stalks in a farm field near the small rural town of Brooklyn, Iowa.

Officials said surveillance footage of a black SUV cruising around the area where she was last seen led them to the suspect.

“On Aug. 21, ICE lodged a detainer with the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office on Christian Bahena-Rivera, 24, an illegal alien from Mexico, after he was arrested on murder charges,” Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said in a statement to The Daily Caller News Foundation via email Tuesday.

Rivera is the only suspect facing murder charges in the case.

Mollie Tibbetts’ father, Rob Tibbetts, confirmed Tuesday morning that her body had been found.

In the 34 days since her disappearance, investigators interviewed nearly 1,500 people and tried to get clues from Mollie Tibbetts’ social media accounts and Fitbit device, reported The Washington Post Tuesday.

Mollie Tibbetts was a rising sophomore studying psychology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. She enjoyed reading and public speaking and was a member of the Catholic Church, reported the Des Moines Register.

Vice President Mike Pence prayed with the family of the missing Iowa college student at Des Moines International Airport after he delivered a speech in Iowa’s capital city Wednesday.

“I just want Mollie’s family to know: You’re on the hearts of every American,” Pence said Wednesday.

Some new outlets are spelling the suspect’s first name “Cristihian.”

I wonder how the democrats are going to defend this one. It's their policies that caused this young woman's death.

Pray for Mollie's father and the family and others who love her as they deal with this tragedy. Another Angel family has been created from unsecured borders, from not enforcing immigration laws and actively deporting people, from allowing illegal alien numbers to grow to 20 plus million.

Illegal aliens freely roam our nation. They steal identities, jobs, kill and maim, get taxpayer benefits while denouncing our nation and us.

Deprtation is not happening fast enough. The border must be secured.

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.

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.

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.”

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

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.

The Latest: Suspect worked at farm tied to Republican farmer

https://media.breitbart.com/media/20...nt-640x402.jpgThe Associated Press21 Aug 20181MONTEZUMA, Iowa (AP) — The Latest on an arrest and charges in the death of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts (all times local):
9:15 p.m.
The immigrant from Mexico charged in the kidnapping and murder of an Iowa college student worked at a dairy farm owned by the family of a prominent state Republican leader.

Yarrabee Farms said in a statement that Cristhian Bahena Rivera had worked at its farms for the last four years and was an employee in good standing. The company said it was shocked to hear that Rivera had been charged in the death of 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts.

Spokesman Dane Lang said Tuesday night that Yarrabee Farms is a “small family farm” owned by him and his father, Craig Lang, who has long been a prominent Iowa farmer and political figure.

Craig Lang previously served as president of the Iowa Farm Bureau and president of the Iowa Board of Regents, which governs the state’s public universities. In June, he lost a close GOP primary in the race for state agriculture secretary.

Rivera was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’ death.

JOHNSTON — President Donald Trump has suggested congressional Republicans put off addressing immigration policy reform until after the November elections, but Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds hopes they do not wait that long.
Reynolds wants federal lawmakers and the president to develop new immigration policy immediately.

“It’s really time, I think, that we have Congress and we have the administration sit down and find solutions and find some common ground and get something done,” Reynolds said. “I think that they should do it now. It’s time to get something done.”

Reynolds reiterated she would not deploy Iowa National Guard troops to the southern U.S. border if it meant they would be assisting federal immigration agents in the separation of children from their families.

But she said she would consider a request to help agents address immigration-related issues like the illegal trafficking of children or drugs.

She does not think any Iowa cities are in violation of a new state law, set to go into effect July 1, which threatens to withhold state funding to local governments that do not cooperate with federal immigration agents.

“I don’t think it’s unreasonable,” she said. “One of my No. 1 responsibilities is to make sure that we keep Iowans safe. And I don’t think it’s unreasonable if somebody that’s here and they’ve broken the law and they have been apprehended, that it’s unreasonable to send them back..”

Reynolds distanced herself from multiple inflammatory comments made the past two weeks by U.S. Rep. Steve King, the western Iowa Republican congressman and a co-chair of Reynolds’ campaign.


King a week ago reposted on social media an immigration opinion piece by a self-described Nazi sympathizer. On Friday, King reposted a picture of what the original poster said were young Hispanic boys of detained parents, with his own comment that the boys appear to be old enough to be tried as criminals, serve in the military or become gang members.

Also on Friday, King said in a radio interview he does not want Somali Muslims working in Iowa pork plants because, he said, they wouldn’t eat pork themselves based on religious objections and would be hoping whoever does eat it will go to hell.

Iowa Democrats have criticized Reynolds for keeping King as a co-chair for her campaign.
She said Friday she does not plan to remove King as a campaign supporter in part because he represents roughly a quarter of the state. But she said she does not agree with King’s comments and added he is not involved in campaign policy discussions.

“We’re not going to agree on everything,” Reynolds said. “I make it clear when asked where I stand on specific issues, and I’ll continue to do that.”

Kim Reynolds: 'Horrific' that children are being used as pawns in immigration policy battle

Gov. Kim Reynolds said Tuesday the U.S. government should stop treating children as “pawns” in the immigration policy battle and put an end to its policy of separating children from their families who have entered the country illegally.

Well, I still haven't seen this on the news here in the Chicago area yet. When this young woman was killed, it was on all the time. Now that they found out an illegal alien murdered her, it's never mentioned. I admit that I missed the World News last night, but before that I watched the local new for an hour from 4pm to 5pm, and no mention of it. Later I watched both the 9 o'clock news AND the 10 o'clock news. Still, no mention of it. I watched the news for an hour this morning. Again, no mention of it.

This CANCER of criminal illegal alien trespassers has spread into our beautiful countryside and small towns.

We are NOT safe anywhere!



SLAM THAT BORDER SHUT AND TURN EVERY ONE OF THEM RIGHT BACK AROUND.

THEY ARE MURDERING OUR CITIZENS!

PUT MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA ON THE TRAVEL BAN LIST...THEY CANNOT COME HERE!

SAD!! Our media is so corrupt, so vile. Disgusting. They're not covering the killer because Chicago is a sanctuary city and protects criminal illegal aliens, even when they murder Americans. Despicable. I don't know when if ever the media has sunk so low. Trump is absolutely right to keep attacking them. The news is all over Fox News of course, so sad and tragic that Chicago media doesn't think it should be reported.

When it comes to gun laws, democrats always say....."even if we can save one life". We need to throw this in their face when it comes to situations like this and illegal immigration.

"We need to deport all illegals aliens, even if we can save one American life from murderous criminal illegal aliens."

And let me stress, Mexico isn't exactly sending us their best and brightest. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they emptied their prisons and told them that they are free only if they leave the country never to come back. I wouldn't be one bit surprised.

Excellent point, Six Million Dollar Man, make them eat their words.

These people bring this SICK culture here.

They are in contact via social media with their SICK families back home!

Put on Travel Ban on Mexico and Central America! They cannot be allowed in our country.

CLEAN THIS DAMN MESS UP! AND BOOT OUT DACA!

Cut off every dime of foreign aid and get these FAMILIES off our soil.

They are NOT here for a better life...they are killing us and it is in their whole family tree!

They do NOT cut ties with those back home!

They are not innocent darlings!

Slam that border shut and turn them right back around.

Mollie Tibbetts murder suspect Cristhian Bahena Rivera passed background check: employers | abc7.com


August 22, 2018


After 24-year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera was charged for the murder of college student Mollie Tibbetts on Tuesday, the family-owned business where he worked said they were shocked.

"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," Yarrabee Farms said in the statement. "On Monday, the authorities visited our farm and talked to our employees. We have cooperated fully with their investigation."

Rivera is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, and it is unclear how he passed the background check. E-Verify is an online system through which the government checks job applicants' backgrounds for employers. This search includes records from the Department of Homeland Security, which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) falls under, to ensure the applicant is legally allowed to work.

Yarrabee Farms is owned by the family of Craig Lang, a prominent Republican in the state. The company operates dairy farms in hills outside of Brooklyn, where Tibbetts lived. A representative from the company told the Associated Press that they were shocked by the news.

Rivera has been living in the United States between 4 and 7 years, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He had no prior criminal history in Iowa, according to AP.

The suspect has reportedly confessed to the July 18 murder. He told investigators that he "blocked" his memory and does not remember the moment he harmed Tibbetts, but he does remember removing her bloodied body from his car trunk and leaving her in a corn field.

Lang has served as the president of the Iowa Farm Bureau and as president of the Iowa Board of Regents. The Board of Regents oversees the state's public universities, including Tibbetts' school, the University of Iowa. Lang also launched an unsuccessful run earlier this year to become the state's Secretary of Agriculture.

The Associated Press and ABC News contributed to this story.
