Hmm. I'm not convinced. The reason I think that is because it would be a spectacular own goal to have an illegal held out for all to see as the killer. That obviously goes against all that they are trying to convince the American people of. The damage done, in this regard, by this one case, is huge. And I think it got so much spotlight because it's obviously a 'good' event so far as Trump/Republicans go, seeing as it is precisely something that Trump has been talking of. You've got to remember that the internet and news isn't only full of leftist/democrat influence, it is also full of right/Republican influence. For me, that's what you've got here. The leftist response in the media going on the defensive would back that up as well.

@yuke: I generally agree with you but here nobody knew the killer was going to be an illegal immigrant for the weeks that Mollie's disappearance saturated the news. Her boyfriend should have been the first logical suspect to rule out. Inasmuch as she was over 18, she was free to disappear on her own whereas a child would be deemed a kidnapping victim to be taken anywhere in the country and more in need of extensive coverage.

We need some research here on the parents.

Ah okay, not being in the US I wasn't to know how it played out in the media all the way through. Hmmm. The illegal 'own goal' still seems like a problem to me though, they definitely wouldn't have wanted that to be headline news.

If you are not of the USA, its hard to realize how big we are, 3000 miles coast to coast with a great deal of autonomy for each state. Thus news from a small town in Iowa seems strange unless it had national implications. If an illegal alien had been suspected from the start I could see the rationale.

Judging by the dearth of feedback, I guess it was just strange for a handfull of us. The significance of a blood moon is not to be overlooked. Does this happen all around the globe?
