Officials believe body of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts has been found

The disappearance was completely out of character for her, Mitch Mortvedt, assistant director of field operations for the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigations, said at a news conference last week.

Former USSS Agent Dan Bongino and the panel on “The Five” reacted to the discovery of missing Iowa college student Mollie Tibbett’s body Tuesday. After investigators identified Rivera’s truck on the security camera, they brought him in for an interview at which point he admitted to following Mollie but claimed he blacked out. Investigators identified Rivera after his auto was found on surveillance footage in the same area where Tibbetts was last seen running.

Investigators have said that foul play, including the possibility that Tibbetts was abducted, could be involved, saying that disappearing on her own would be inconsistent with past behavior. “We were able to pull him in” and conducted an interview with Rivera, he added. Investigators say the footage showed Mollie running, as well as the travel patterns of a vehicle believed to belong to Rivera.

Devin Riley, who believes he may have been one of the last people to see frequent runner Tibbetts alive, told ABC: ‘I’ve seen her probably three to four times per week.

“Our hearts go out to the Tibbetts family and to the Brooklyn community. 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. The body was reportedly found in a cornfield.

An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.

The body of 20-year-old University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts has presumably been found in a rural area of Poweshiek County, Iowa.

Tibbetts has been missing since July 18, when she was last seen jogging through the streets of Brooklyn. “As we celebrate our first day, let’s celebrate her life and be like her today”, Murphy told the crowd, according to The Mercury News.

At the time of her disappearance, Tibbetts was staying at an apartment her 20-year-old boyfriend, Dalton Jack, shared with his brother.

Tibbetts disappearance set off a massive search involving dozens of officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as state and local agencies.

“I think someone went to the house that Mollie knew or that Mollie trusted and that she left with them willingly”, Robert Tibbetts told CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz. “We just are diligent, and we’ll continue to do so”.

President Donald Trump referred to Rivera’s being in the country illegally during a campaign speech for a Republican U.S. Senate candidate in West Virginia.

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. It was very genuine and it was real.
