    I think the proper term is "undocumented murderer."

    The picture with the guns is dated 2004, and he would have been 10 years old ; so not likely his guns or even a picture that he took. If 2017 is the last update to his profile, that seems a little odd, too.

    2017 isn't the last update....I just scrolled down a bit.

    Most of the comments were in Spanish but recent ones were from angry people ...

    If that's not his FB page...I'm sorry.

    If it's him...hope he rots in hell.

    This is a story I followed very closely and was hoping for a happier outcome.

    There's nothing to be sorry about. I would have taken it to be his, and it might be. People sometimes create fake Facebook pages for people who commit horrible crimes but this page was created well before he was connected to the crime.

    I don't know if that's the case with this one, but often the US papers won't mention race, nationality, or immigration status when the shooter is black, Muslim, or here illegally, although they don't hesitate to speculate that they are white supremacists before an arrest is made. The kids who were found in New Mexico starving (and one dead), ABC News (and probably others) attributed that to a white supremacist group for a couple of days before the US news told us that they were radical Muslims training children to be school shooters. Pretty much everyone knows that now, as well as the murder in Iowa, but they wait until everyone has already gotten the news elsewhere before they report it here. Often the UK press gives us the truth before the US press does when it's matters of protected classes. I often get the news here, but go to the UK press for the facts behind the news.

    @Ken Anderson that was my point I guess. It won't be given much press here because the killer was an illegal Mexican alien living in Iowa who came into the U.S. during the O Administration. Trump is pointing it out in his speeches and tweets though.

    It was in all my news sources @Don Alaska ...I just like the DM. Seems their stories give more info and it's comments section is always busy.

    Maybe the only difference I saw was between using the word "illegal alien". To "undocumented".

    Of course this morning I'm reading that he worked on a prominent Republican's farm....that's in all my news sources.


    From Fox News....


    Cristhian Rivera, 24, was employed by Yarrabee Farms for the past several years, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

    The Des Moines Register reported that it reviewed documents that listed several owners of the farm, which included Dane Lang and Eric Lang, both relatives of Craig Lang. Craig Lang, who owns a dozen property deeds in Brooklyn, Iowa, is reportedly a former 2018 Republican candidate for secretary of agriculture in the state.

    I looked at his FB page again and it's still there but the number of friends has dropped but not by much.

    I'm guessing most of them didn't even know the story since most live in Mexico.

    I saw it reported that Mollie was FB friends with his "baby's mama".

    I'm thinking maybe because Mollie had a summer job in daycare....but that's just my assumption.

    He probably wasn't a complete stranger to her though...again guessing.

    It also sounds to me that she was murdered that night and not kidnapped and held like everyone thought.

    They had to report that his employer was a relative of a prominent Republican. I know many Republicans who have Democrat relatives and vice-versa.
