Iowa authorities formally concluded Thursday that Mollie Tibbetts, the college student believed by authorities to have been abducted while on a run near Brooklyn, Iowa, last month, is a "homicide" victim and was killed by "multiple sharp force injuries ."
"The State Medical Examiner determined that the manner of death was homicide resulting from multiple sharp force injuries. Further examination may result in additional findings," Iowa's Department of Public Safety Division of Criminal Investigation said in a press release issued Thursday evening.
The body of Tibbets, 20, was examined on Wednesday. The medical examiner's office did not say what weapon cause d her injuries or how those attacks led to her death.
The full report will not be released to the public because Iowa law only allows the cause and manner of death to be shared.
