- Autopsy results on Thursday revealed 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts was the victim of a homicide and died from “multiple sharp force injuries.”
- A state medical examiner said the finding means a sharp-edged or pointed object such as a knife was used to attack Tibbetts.
- The man charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’s death, Cristhian Bahena Rivera, allegedly led investigators to her body early Tuesday in a cornfield outside of Brooklyn, Iowa.
- Earlier this week, investigators said they were uncertain how Tibbetts was killed or whether she was sexually assaulted.
The Iowa college student who was allegedly abducted by a stranger while running last month in a small town died from stab wounds, a medical examiner says.
Authorities announced Thursday that preliminary autopsy results from the state medical examiner’s office show 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts was the victim of a homicide who died from “multiple sharp force injuries.”See the rest of the story at Business Insider
