Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of the 20-year-old Iowan Mollie Tibbetts who disappeared in July. It was revealed that Rivera had been living in the U.S. illegally after coming from Mexico, sparking more talk from politicians about strengthening immigration laws. Investigators said they believed Rivera had lived in the area from four to seven years, and had followed and abducted Tibbetts while she was on a run. Rivera grabbed her phone after she said she was going to call the cops, blacked out and then remembers dragging her bloody body out of the trunk of his car and into a cornfield.
