year-old college student from Iowa. (Iowa Department of Public
Safety)
Authorities said Rivera, who lived in 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 in a field covered with corn stalks. Her
father and two sources confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday morning
that Tibbetts was found dead; investigators said later in the
day they were working to formally identify the body.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS
Investigators said they used surveillance footage to track down
Rivera. The video showed Tibbetts jogging in a rural area near
her hometown of Brooklyn, and also showed Rivera's car. She was
last seen around 7:30 p.m. on July 18 after she went for a jog
around a neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Tibbetts' family pleaded for her safe return and had remained
hopeful she would be found alive. Her father, Rob, previously
told Fox News that "somebody knows something."
Brooklyn, according to her father, is a small city and you
cant do anything there without someone seeing it.
Iowa's Division of Criminal Investigation received more than
4,000 tips during the investigation, and had roughly 30 to 40
investigators working on the case.
Investigators followed "hundreds" of those leads interviewing
several hundred people and canvassing a nearby hog farm,
cornfields and other properties for traces of the college
student. Two items Tibbetts typically took with her a Fitbit
and cellphone remained missing.

Investigators announced last week that they were focusing the
search on five locations in and around Brooklyn, which included
a car wash just a block away from the citys main commercial
strip and a TA truck stop next to Interstate 80, which runs
across the entirety of Iowa.

Brooklyn, a town of just 1,400 people, was shaken by Tibbetts'
disappearance. Blake Jack, the brother of Tibbetts boyfriend,
told Fox News on Aug. 8 there was no sign of a struggle at the
Brooklyn home she was staying in at the time.

Dalton, Tibbetts' boyfriend of two years, said he believed the
doors of the home where his girlfriend last stayed had been left
unlocked.
Its Brooklyn. You dont lock your doors, Dalton said. We
lock our doors now. Every night.
Vice President Mike Pence said he's "heartbroken" about
Tibbetts' death, and called the college student an "amazing
young woman." He tweeted that "justice will be served" against
the murder suspect.
"We will never forget Mollie Tibbetts," the vice president added.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds shared similar sentiments, calling the
news about Tibbetts "heart-wrenching," and said that Iowans "are
angry that a broken immigration system allowed a predator like
this to live in our community."
"Mollie Tibbetts, our hearts are broken," Republican Iowa Rep.

May you now be with the Lord and your family one day find a
peace. Justice must now be served. RIP Mollie."
