CNN, for whatever screwball reasons, can’t bring themselves to say the confessed killed of Mollie Tibbetts was an “illegal” immigrant. The headlines say just immigrant, then into the story we read he was an “undocumented” immigrant. Are they concerned about hurting his feeling if they call this confessed killer an illegal alien? Illegal alien, illegal immigrant, they are both more correct than an undocumented immigrant. Stupid CNN.
(CNN) – Authorities had been looking for Mollie Tibbetts, a 20-year-old Iowa student who disappeared while jogging, for weeks when they found home surveillance video that showed a car following a woman running.
After watching it for hours, investigators found clues that led them to an undocumented immigrant, who on Tuesday led them to a leaf-covered body in a cornfield.
It is unclear why Rivera killed Tibbetts, said Rick Rahn, special agent in charge at the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
“I can’t really speak to you about the motive,” Rahn said. “I can just tell you it seems that he followed her and seemed to be drawn to her on that particular day and for whatever reason he chose to abduct her.”
An autopsy to determine when and how the woman died is planned for Wednesday.
The suspect is an undocumented immigrant who authorities believe has been in the area for four to seven years, Rahn said. Charges were filed in district court in Poweshiek County and bail was set at $1 million.
Well, I hope the ACLU sends somebody out to talk to him. Does it really make any sense that an illegal who has been steadily at work, under the radar, for seven years would suddenly take to murder?
On the little we have to go on, this reeks of some PoDunk PD taking the easy way out.
Libby, so you assume that his confession is bogus and then him leading the police to the murdered victims body was police taking the easy way, blame the illegal immigrant, right. Don’t believe the police? Police bad – illegal alien good. In other words you think the police planted the dead girls body in that corn field? Oh and what about the video evidence?
Who says he confessed? The PoDunk PD? My objection stands.
Amazing how the moron media presstitutes either flip-flop or totally ignore a story when it does’t fit their agenda . . . . .
Rubbish, J. It’s still on the blotter. The authorities are on stronger ground today than yesterday. It’s a shame. All the times I’ve been tracked by vehicles, the drivers’ just waive their weenies and run away.
But I’m not buying this amnesia thing. Is it his own story that has holes in it, or the cops’ story? And this country’s solid record of sending non-culpable schmucks to prison is disgusting.
“Rubbish” is a great description for the majority of your posts.
