Authorities announced that preliminary autopsy results from the 
state medical examiner's office show she was the victim of a 
homicide who died from "multiple sharp force injuries."

State medical examiner Dennis Klein declined to comment on the 
details of her injuries, and said that his office would hire 
consultants to analyse her remains further.

The man charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts' death, 
Cristhian Bahena Rivera, allegedly led investigators to her body 
early Tuesday in a cornfield.

While investigators were confident then that the body was that 
of the University of Iowa psychology major, the autopsy 
definitively confirmed her identity.

What we know so far...

Mollie Tibbetts, 20, was out running on July 18 when she 
disappeared, triggering a huge search in Brooklyn, Iowa
Five weeks later, Cristhian Bahena Rivera, an illegal Mexican 
immigrant named, was arrested and charged with her murder
Police found Rivera, 24, through CCTV which showed a Chevy 
Malibu connected to him driving around where Mollie was jogging
He later told police that he got out of the car and starting 
running alongside Mollie, who threatened to call the cops
Rivera, who later led police to where he dumped her in a corn 
field, said he blacked out, then came to as he was dragging her 
body out of the trunk
An autopsy found Mollie died of 'multiple sharp force injuries'
Republican lawmakers and Donald Trump have used the attack to 
push their anti-immigration agenda ahead of the mid-terms in the 
US

Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, terrorised other girls in the town 
of Brooklyn, Iowa, before murdering Molly Tibbett's, locals say
Prosecutors allege that Rivera abducted Tibbetts while she was 
out for an evening run in Brooklyn on July 18, killed her and 
disposed of her body in the secluded location.

A criminal complaint alleges that Rivera confessed during a 
lengthy interrogation to following Tibbetts in his car, getting 
out on foot and chasing after her.

Rivera told investigators that he panicked after Tibbetts 
threatened to call police on her phone, he blacked out and later 
came to when he was unloading her bloody body from the trunk of 
a car, it says.

Rivera worked for the last four years at a dairy farm a few 
miles from where Tibbetts was last seen.

He and Tibbetts have no known connections other than that Rivera 
allegedly told investigators that he saw her running previously.

Investigators zeroed in on him as the suspect after obtaining 
footage from surveillance cameras showing a vehicle connected to 
him circling the area of Tibbetts' running route.

Earlier this week, investigators said they were uncertain how 
Tibbetts was killed or whether she was sexually assaulted. 
They've made no mention of recovering a knife or other weapon 
linked to the death.

Rivera, a native of Mexico who is suspected of being in the US 
illegally, made his initial court appearance Wednesday and is 
being jailed on a $5million (Ł3.9million) cash-only bond.

He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if 
convicted.

Within hours of the arrest, President Donald Trump seized on the 
news that Rivera was allegedly in the country illegally to call 
for stricter immigration laws.

And in an interview that aired Thursday, he said on "Fox & 
Friends" that Tibbetts was a "beautiful young girl" killed by a 
"horrible person that came in from Mexico, illegally here."

Trump has claimed that people living in the US illegally often 
commit crimes, but studies by social scientists and the 
libertarian Cato Institute reject that assertion.

The studies show that states with higher shares of people living 
in the country illegally have lower violent crime rates.

The president also said the suspect was "found by" agents from 
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, an agency that some 
liberals have called for abolishing because of tactics they view 
as overly harsh.

An ICE spokesman said Thursday that its agents worked with state 
and local investigators in "identifying, locating and 
interviewing the suspect."
