Save you the answer.
The suspect is to blame. Not illegal immigration. Not Hispanics. Not Barack Obama.
The suspect is an illegal immigrant. Yes, the individual will have a court date and face charges in the death of the 20 year old jogger from Brooklyn, Iowa.
Mollie Tibbetts went missing in July. Over a month later, the Iowa State Patrol and FBI found the remains of the University of Iowa student who disappeared after a morning jog.
Now the suspect is charged and details are emerging.
Of course the biggest troll in America had to politicize a tragedy.
Reminder: Donald J. Trump won't do anything about mass shootings. But he sure as hell would rally his supporters to the polls when the death of a white woman is committed by a person of color.
I am sorry to have to reiterate that there are serious and unpleasant consequences to crossing the Border into the United States ILLEGALLY! If there were no serious consequences, our country would be overrun with people trying to get in, and our system could not handle it!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 21, 2018
Cristhian Rivera, 24, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder Tuesday after the body of Tibbetts, a 20-year-old University of Iowa student, was discovered in a cornfield about 12 miles southeast of Brooklyn, where she was last seen running. Police said Rivera was in the country illegally and an immigration detainer was placed on him after his arrest.
Rivera's employer, Yarrabee Farms, confirmed Tuesday that Rivera worked at the farm for four years and said Rivera passed the federal E-Verify check, which is intended to maintain a database of I-9 forms and tax records of employees across the country.
Dane Lang, one of the owners of Yarrabee Farms, said in a statement that all documents regarding Rivera’s employment have been turned over to authorities. Yarrabee Farms is owned by the family of Craig Lang, the former president of the Iowa Farm Bureau and a former GOP primary candidate to be Iowa's Secretary of Agriculture.
“E-Verify has prevented a lot of illegal aliens from getting jobs. It’s the best system out there,” former ICE acting director Thomas Homan told “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday, though he added there are ways to beat the system in “rare circumstances.”
“I would be interested to know is: Did they really run this person in E-Verify? And what failed?” he said.
Missing White Women Syndrome is the media's obsessive coverage of missing white women. Should the media cover all missing person cases equally?

Immigration officials have not confirmed to Fox News if Rivera’s identity was entered into the E-Verify database. Authorities have said he arrived to the U.S. illegally from Mexico at some point between 4 and 7 years ago.
A search of Iowa court records revealed no prior criminal history for Rivera, and it's unclear whether he'd ever been subject to prior deportation proceedings.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
E-Verify is an online system run by the U.S. government to provide employers with a way to check the eligibility status of workers. The automated system checks records from the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security to make sure an employee is legally allowed to work in the U.S.
Conservatives and white extremists are using Tibbetts as a martyr for their racist agenda.
They certainly riled up over a woman being killed by a person of color. They never seem to be riled up over a deranged white man obtaining an AR15 and massacring everyone in sight.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
