   BROOKLYN, Iowa -- Authorities said on Tuesday that they have   
   charged a man living in the U.S. illegally with murder in the   
   death of an Iowa college student who disappeared a month ago   
   while jogging in a rural area.   
      
   Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Rick Rahn   
   said that Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, was charged with murder   
   in the death of Mollie Tibbetts.   
      
   Investigators say they used surveillance video in tracking down   
   Rivera. The video showed Tibbetts, 20, jogging in a rural area   
   near her hometown of Brooklyn as well as Rivera's car.   
      
   Police announced the charge at a press conference just hours   
   after they found what they believe to be the body of Tibbetts in   
   a field covered with corn stalks.   
      
   Tibbetts was last seen July 18 in Brooklyn, a rural town of   
   about 1,400 people, as she took a routine evening jog. It's   
   unclear whether she returned to the home where she was dog-   
   sitting for her boyfriend and her boyfriend's brother, who have   
   said they were both out of town . She was reported missing by   
   her family the next day, after she didn't show up for work at a   
   day camp for children.   
      
   Tibbetts' disappearance set off a massive search involving   
   dozens of officers from the FBI, as well as state and local   
   agencies. They focused much of their efforts in and around   
   Brooklyn, searching farm fields, ponds and homes. Investigators   
   asked anyone who was around five locations , including a car   
   wash, a truck stop and a farm south of town, to report if they   
   saw anything suspicious on July 18.   
      
   Last week, Vice President Mike Pence met privately with the   
   Tibbetts family during a visit to Iowa and told them that   
   "you're on the hearts of every American."   
      
   At Brooklyn City Hall, city clerk Sheri Sharer said Tuesday was   
   a sad day for the town.   
      
   "It never crossed our mind that she wouldn't come home safe,"   
   she said.   
      
   Willey's group has been publicizing a reward fund that raised   
   around $400,000 for any tip that led to Tibbetts' safe return.   
   He said the fund, which included more than 220 donations from   
   individuals, will now likely be used for any information that   
   helps police catch anyone responsible for her death.   
      
   "Once they catch their breath, this will turn into a weapon   
   going the other direction, to catch the person who did it," he   
   said.   
      
   Tibbetts, a psychology major, would have started her junior year   
   this week in Iowa City, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of   
   Brooklyn. She was staying with her longtime boyfriend and   
   working while home from school over the summer.
