A suspect in connection with Mollie Tibbetts’ murderer is in custody and has been identified as a 24-year-old man in the U.S. illegally, investigators announced at a news conference Tuesday.
Christian Rivera was charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’ death, officials confirmed Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities said that Rivera, of the rural Poweshiek County area, is being held on a federal immigration detainer. He’s believed to have been in the area for four to seven years.
The body of Tibbetts, a 20-year-old University of Iowa student, was found Tuesday, her father and two sources confirmed to Fox News. She was last seen around 7:30 p.m. on July 18 when she was running around a neighborhood in Brooklyn.
