   The body was determined to be Mollie.   
      
   For 34 days friends, family, the community, and investigators   
   searched for 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts, who went missing after   
   going for a run in the rural area of Brooklyn, Iowa on July   
   18th. On July 21, her family's worst fears were realized when 24-   
   year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera confessed to stalking her on   
   her run that day and getting out of his car to run alongside   
   her. Rivera then led the authorities to Mollie Tibbetts' body in   
   a corn field. She had been murdered.   
      
   Cristhian Rivera is facing several charges including Murder In   
   The First Degree. He's a Mexican national who had been living in   
   the area for at least four years working on a dairy farm. Rivera   
   claims to have blacked out during the murder and discovered   
   Mollie's bloody body in the trunk of his Chevy Malibu. The Iowa   
   State Medical Examiner performed an autopsy on Mollie on August   
   22. Here's what we know so far about Mollie Tibbetts' cause of   
   death, plus what does 'sharp force injuries' mean?   
      
   1. Multiple sharp force injuries   
   The Iowa State Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy on the body   
   believed to be Mollie Tibbetts on August 22nd. It was determined   
   that the body was, in fact, the missing college student. The   
   manner of death was preliminarily determined to be homicide   
   resulting from multiple sharp force injuries.   
      
   2. What are sharp force injuries?   
   The report from the state medical examiner does not elaborate on   
   the full meaning of sharp force injuries because under Iowa   
   state law, autopsy reports are confidential, except for the   
   cause and manner of death. According to Medscape.com, sharp   
   force injuries are characterized by a well-defined traumatic   
   separation of tissues, occurring when a sharp-edged or pointed   
   object comes into contact with the skin and underlying tissues.   
   There are three types of sharp force injuries: stab wounds,   
   incised wounds, and chop wounds.   
      
   3. What is an incised wound?   
   A stab wound and chop wound are pretty self-explanatory. What is   
   an incised wound? These types of wounds are caused by a clean,   
   sharp-edged object such as a knife, box cutter, razor, metal, or   
   glass splinter. An incised wound is usually longer than it is   
   deep. In contrast, stab wounds are sharp force injuries caused   
   by a pointed instrument but the depth of the wound is greater   
   than the length of the wound.   
      
   4. The politicization of Mollie's death   
   Some politicians and news anchors are blaming the U.S.'s   
   immigration system for Mollie's death. Rivera is an undocumented   
   immigrant from Mexico. President Trump and other Republicans   
   have used her death to argue for stricter enforcement of   
   immigration laws. However, some of Mollie's family members don't   
   want her death to be used to push for political leverage.   
      
   In particular, her aunt, Billie Jo Calderwood, spoke out about   
   this saying, "I don't want Mollie's memory to get lost amongst   
   politics." Calderwood made it clear she was only speaking for   
   herself. She said that her family has received love and support   
   from people of all races, religions, and ethnicities during the   
   search for Mollie. "It's not about race, it's about people   
   joining together to do good," she said.   
      
   Mollie's second cousin Samanth Lucas spoke to CNN and said she   
   wants Mollie's death removed from political discussion. She said   
   she didn't know Mollie that well and she isn't speaking for the   
   whole family, but she knows Mollie well enough to believe that   
   she would not want her death to be used as "fuel against   
   undocumented immigrants."   
      
   5. Rivera used a fake ID   
   It was previously reported that Cristhian Rivera was verified   
   through the government's E-Verify program before he started his   
   job at Yarrabee Farms. However, When Rivera applied for the job,   
   he used a Social Security card and ID that were not his. Rivera   
   could have made a request through the Deferred Action for   
   Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that might have granted him legal   
   status in the U.S. He never did that.
