   BROOKLYN, Iowa -- Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, is facing first   
   degree murder charges for the death of Iowa college student   
   Mollie Tibbetts.   
      
   Mollie disappeared after going for a run on the evening of July   
   18, and was reported missing after she failed to show up for   
   work the next day.   
      
   Authorities say a body was found in a farm field in the early   
   morning hours of August 21, with Rivera acting as a guide for   
   investigators. The body, believed to be Mollie, was covered by   
   corn stalks.   
      
   What Mollie's suspected killer claims happened   
      
   Authorities first became aware of Rivera after he was seen in   
   surveillance video turned over to police by a neighbor.   
   Investigators say the video shows Rivera following Mollie before   
   she disappeared.   
      
   After his arrest, Rivera allegedly told investigators he   
   approached Mollie, running behind and alongside her.   
      
   The suspect says he remembers her pulling out her phone, telling   
   him she would call police if he did not leave her alone.   
      
   Then, Rivera claims to have "blacked out." When he awoke, Rivera   
   alleges he was in the field where the body was eventually found.   
      
   The suspect also told investigators he had seen Mollie   
   previously, but it is still unclear whether there was any   
   connection between Rivera and the victim.   
      
   Rivera identified as an undocumented immigrant   
      
   The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says Rivera is   
   undocumented and has been living in the United States between 4   
   and 7 years.   
      
   Iowa officials say Rivera is being held on a federal immigration   
   detainer.
