The Division of Criminal Investigation received more than 4,000 tips during the investigation. “We regularly had 30-40 investigators devoted to this investigation since Molly disappeared,” said DCI Special Agent in Charge Richard Rahn. “Without that kind of support from our fellow law enforcement officers, we could not have made the progress we did. The Poweshiek County Sheriff and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were valued partners in leading the investigation, and many other agencies contributed resources throughout the past five weeks. We thank the Tibbetts family for their support to us, and we hope that they will continue to have the support of their community and the nation in the coming weeks and months.”

“My heart goes out to Mollie’s family for having to endure the pain and suffering that resulted from this horrific murder. I pray that today’s verdict will not just bring justice but some sense of closure to her family and the community. There is no bringing Mollie back, but her memory will continue to live on through the happiness she brought to all who knew her.”

Good. Now take him against his will to a cornfield and spend sometime helping him feel the fear that poor girl did before beating him to the ground and stabbing him in the head, neck and chest. Then wait a month and send his rotting corpse to his worthless scum bag family. Close the border so this doesnt happen anymore.
careful the dems/libs will call you a racists
No, he is just an idiot whose hate is greater than his brain.
On the other hand, what would they say if it had been their daughter?
I would say I am angry and deeply hurt that a man killed my daughter. Justice has been served. That is pretty much what the Tibbets family has said. They also said do not turn this into a political piece of news. Perhaps we should look into why men think it is ok to beat, hit, or kill women who don’t return their affection – not all men, but many.

Common sense will tell you that you don’t have to be rich and spoiled to do something like that.
No, you don’t but trump told money makes it easier cuz they just let you.
Oh…the things that go on in the life of a millionaire, and the things you will never have. Good thing our society gives you a forum to judge and whine.
Good thing you have a forum to proselytize and feign enlightenment.
