Illegal Arrested in Mollie Tibbetts Murder: Police have arrested an illegal alien for the murder of Iowa co-ed Mollie Tibbetts, whose body was found in a cornfield today. The Associated Press reports that 24-year-old Christhian Bahena Rivera, an illegal alien from Mexico, has been charged with first-degree murder, after he was identified with the victim on surveillance video on the day she dissappeared. ABC News reports that, following his arrest, Rivera told detectives that he had confronted the 20-year-old student while she was jogging in her neighborhood on July 18. He said that when she threatened to call the police if he did not leave her alone, he "blacked out," and when he awoke Tibbetts was dead. DHS reports that Rivera has been living in the country illegally for at least 4 years.
