IOWA CITY, Iowa—A jury found an illegal immigrant guilty of murder Friday in the abduction and killing of a University of Iowa student who vanished while out for a run in 2018.
The 12-member jury unanimously found Cristhian Bahena Rivera guilty of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Mollie Tibbetts, who is remembered as a friendly 20-year-old who was studying to become a child psychologist.
