   Preliminary autopsy reports show that murdered Iowa college   
   student Mollie Tibbetts died of “multiple sharp force injuries,”   
   according to multiple reports.   
      
   The manner of death was homicide, according to the state medical   
   examiner.   
      
   Tibbetts’ accused murderer, Cristhian Bahena Rivera, a 24-year-   
   old illegal immigrant from Mexico, is being held in lieu of $5   
   million cash-only bail in Poweshiek County Jail.   
      
   The ME released the following update through a statement on   
   Thursday, according to the Des Moines Register:   
      
   The Iowa State Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy yesterday,   
   August 22, 2018, on the body confirmed to be Mollie Tibbetts,   
   and drew some preliminary conclusions.   
      
   The State Medical Examiner determined that the manner of death   
   was homicide resulting from multiple sharp force injuries.   
   Further examination may result in additional findings. Autopsy   
   reports are confidential under Iowa law, except for the cause   
   and manner of death. (Iowa Code § 22.7(4)(c)).   
      
   Cristhian Bahena Rivera has been charged in the Iowa District   
   Court for Poweshiek County with Murder in the First Degree. Iowa   
   courts have established rules limiting the release of   
   information regarding an individual who has been criminally   
   charged in a state court. The rules are designed to protect a   
   defendant’s interests in a fair trial that could be affected by   
   media attention to the facts in the case. Court proceedings are   
   open to the public, in almost all circumstances, and those   
   formal proceedings are the primary method for communicating   
   information about the case.   
      
   Given that criminal charges have been filed in state court, the   
   Division of Criminal Investigation does not intend to grant   
   individual interviews with members of the media, and will   
   conduct a limited number of press conferences while the case is   
   pending in the Iowa District Court.   
      
   It was also reported on Thursday that Rivera had a connection to   
   Tibbetts: he fathered a child with Tibbetts’ former schoolmate.   
      
   Tibbetts went missing on July 18; investigators believe Rivera   
   abducted her when he saw her out on a run that day. Her body was   
   only found on Tuesday, more than a month after her disappearance.
