Murder Weapon / Search:
The FBI (including K-9 officers) are on the scene at ^ Yarrabee Farms, Rivera's employer, searching for the murder weapon. Rivera lived in the red trailer, pictured left above, with several other farms workers. The white house on the right is also inhabited by farm workers.
Suspect's Work / Immigration Status:
Yarrabee Farms initially claimed that Christhian Bahena Rivera was in the country legally and that it had used the e-verify system to perform a background check. However, Dane Lang, co-owner of Yarrabee Farms, later said that the farm had instead only checked his ID and driver's license, which were issued under the name Christhian Baena.
Dane's brother is Craig Lang, former president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and a 2018 Republican candidate for state secretary of agriculture. I bet he's looking into the vetting of all the other farm workers his family employs and houses on the property right about now.
Federal authorities said they have no record of granting admission into the United States to Rivera (also nothing to indicate he'd ever applied for DACA status).
