Fox News
The man was living in the U.S. illegally when he murdered Mollie Tibbetts in 2018.
Tibbetts, 20, vanished while running on a rural road outside her hometown of Brooklyn, Iowa on July 18, 2018. Bahena Rivera led investigators to her body, which was found in a cornfield a month later. She had been stabbed several times. The case elicited anger over illegal immigration and was mention by then-President Trump in a video posted on Twitter. He said the "incredible young woman, is now permanently separated from her family." Yates rejected a defense request for a new trial earlier this month. Bahena Rivera's attorneys attempted to link Tibbetts' death to a young's woman's report of having been kidnapped and sexually assaulted at a home used for sex trafficking and the disappearance of an 11-year-old boy from the same county.
