DES MOINES, Iowa -- "What we learned in the last 24 hours is that our employee was not who he said he was," said Dane Lang, Co-owner and manager of Yarrabee Farms. "And, just within the last four hours, we have come to learn that the Social Security Administration's employment verification service is not the same as E-Verify."
That was what Dane Lang said Wednesday Afternoon, when talking about the hiring practices of Yarrabee Farms. The initial statement on Tuesday from Yarrabee Farms said the man charged with killing 20 year-old Mollie Tibbetts, 24 year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera, had worked at its farms for four years and was vetted through the government's E-Verify system.
Yarrabee Farms is owned by a prominent Iowa GOP family. Craig Lang is one of the owners of Yarrabee Farms. Craig Lang is the former president of the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Board of Regents and a 2018 Republican candidate for state secretary of agriculture. Craig Lang has in the past talked about the importance of E-Verify and that it should be utilized, as seen in this video. On Wednesday, Craig's son, Dane, apologized for the inaccuracy in the initial statement given by Yarrabee Farms, which said that it used E-Verify for vetting.
She's nurturing. She's a Harry Potter fan. We all know Mollie Tibbetts' face, but her friends and family say she's so much more.

BROOKLYN, Ia. - Mollie Tibbetts' face has been seen across the country, her bright smile flashing on national news.
She has been painted as the quintessential Iowa girl; an archetype, as her father puts it. Those following the story of her disappearance have seen her posing in her senior pictures and nestled with her high school sweetheart, beaming at a University of Iowa football game.
Those in her small hometown of Brooklyn in central Iowa appreciate the widespread attention to her disappearance. They, too, consider her an all-American young woman. But they know Tibbetts as much more than the two-dimensional posters seen on TV.
