Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 *ARREST* #33

Really? Wow...I feel like I use my ID here in TN nonstop everyday.

Illegal aliens get around this by stealing ss#'s from citizens and having fake id's made.

My point is this. Fantasy is an important aspect of lust murder. Media feeds this fantasy. There isn’t evidence that media makes people kill, rather it plays a role in regard to the fantasy that some of these people are acting on. It doesn’t mean that a normal person plays violent video games and is encouraged to go out and kill.

Sounds like more support for proper mental illness treatment is a better way to think then blaming media that "There isn’t evidence that media makes people kill"

Absolutely unbelievable. The only shame here is IA doesn't have capital punishment. Disgusted beyond belief. Normally I'm not a vengeful person but I'm pissed. A young life is taken and a family and community destroyed for no reason.

It will make it that much easier to obtain a conviction of a Mexican national (which he is). With a death penalty case, the Mexican government might try to intervene.

Thanks to us tax payers. We get to support this monster.

Let’s hope like somebody else said, perhaps he won’t even make it out of the county.

Glad they found the horrible person who did this to Mollie so he doesn't have a chance to take away another beautiful life.. I've always wondered how it seemed like there was no video captured of Mollie during her jog in this day and age where seemingly everything or anything is captured on video. Earlier this summer I put up cameras when a neighbors car was broken into and when my driveway alarm went off a few nights later. It keeps about a months footage and gives me a little peace of mind for my family safety and that of my neighbors

really I think there should be a lot more people that have them. I save enough on my insurance over two years to pay for my system and all upkeep. I use to have only tiny hard to locate but decided that was just to catch a after the fact issue so I put up huge apparent ones too to discourage.

Yes, but they can't do much. That typically only becomes an issue when the Mexican national has fled and they are talking about extradition. Plenty of Mexican national have been sentenced to death.

It's not a death penalty case. Iowa doesn't have the death penalty.

Thank you. I hope everyone who really wanted to talk about the pig farmer or the brother or the boyfriend as a suspect will now understand why we do not allow posters to discuss certain people as possible perps. It is hard to refrain at times but we must. Let's keep our integrity and not accuse innocent people of a horrible murder.

I love this website because of the rules & guidelines. An accusation against someone could have devastating effects on that person's life. I hope that WC is able to get his life back now.

Turning to something apolitical: can you imagine how upset she would have been that the dogs were stuck alone in a basement all night

I just wish she had had them with her on her run I know some dogs do not run well on lead and can be a bit of a hinderance. Still, I hope women think about this in the future. Not victim bashing but sometimes it is best to be safer then try to maintain a certain time. She was no longer on a team so basically running for health reasons. Only one dog might have been a deterrent for some guys. I know this is something we should not even have to contemplate doing, but that is how life has become for women these days. Pathetic isn't it.

Honestly, I hope this thread doesn't get shut down.
The amount of reading, sleuthing, and commiseration on Mollie's pages over this past month, should give the WS community a pass for today. Everyone is obviously sad, disheartened, and justifiably angry.
So maybe just for today, we can scroll past the comments that don't jive with our opinions. And give ourselves some time to "get it out", and move on.

Arrest Warrant/Complaint Affidavit Uploaded for viewing.

There's no address on the paperwork. He lived somewhere for the last 4-7 years. Has anyone found an address for him?

 

[Sinix]

I'm not OP but I think it was a tongue in cheek comment on how this generation of "illegals" is not the first illegal immigrants to make their homes on this land. We American citizens tend to have ancestors who came here and took the land from others as well.

Someone already said, if not for the Video, she likely may never have been found.

Without Video, and the ex-girlfriend of the Pig Farmer making complaints in the midst of the case, that guy could’ve been imprisoned. There were News shows pushing him as the Suspect and even News Outlets in other Countries questioning his actions.

At this stage, it’s clear that guy should’ve had a Lawyer.

Frankly, I've only seen a few posts so far, and I'm shocked this thread is still open (though I do hope it stays open as those heavily involved in cases with this kind of ending tend to need to come together, and grief is seldom pretty).

And how fascinating that he blacked out and doesn't remember how she became dead, but "from memory" could lead police to where he left her body.

 

[gitana1]

For those that don't think an a person can be blindsided, even if alerted, remember cases like Amber Deboise, Chelsea King, and, from my own memories, a friend who fought off an attacker while running and ended up with a only small cut on her neck, and my daughter running in broad daylight in a large city on a busy street, who fought off an attacker while at high noon.
It's probably always better to run with a companion or carry pepper spray or another means of protecting yourself....and, as stated by others earlier, don't have earphones on both ears!

Yeah. They come at you like a mountain lion. From behind or from the side. Often no chance to do anything but get tackled to the ground.

I wear a small neck knife for that purpose and I also have a pepper spray that is in a holder that wraps around my hand so my finger can be on the trigger when I run.

And let’s hope he behaves from now on. One can hope

His address could also be the address of the lady with the baby, I feel like we shouldn't be trying to figure that out. What does it matter where he lived? What matters is what he did, and thankfully he's been caught and is in custody. His address is likely going to be the local jail/prison from here on out!

As someone who works in the medical field I’ve been a medical assistant since 2011, I worked on a neuroscience unit in the hospital can we please stop acting like there is no possible way that he could have blacked out? HONESTLY, NOT TO DEFEND HIM, medical things like that are far more common than you would realize and we don’t know his medical history to not say he has an underlying condition that would cause this, he could’ve been drinking all day before he decided to attack her people can black out please have some respect for science it does happen. And yes you can remember everything before and everything after a black out. By saying that he is just using that as an excuse, he may be but it discredits people who actually experience blackouts.

ETA: even if he never admits it through an autopsy the judge is going to know exactly what happened to her during the timeframe that he claims he doesn’t remember so please can we not focus on that ?
