By Morgan Gstalter - 08/27/18 06:50 PM EDT
A relative of Mollie Tibbetts, the Iowa college student whom authorities say was killed by an undocumented immigrant, said that commentators need to stop using her murder to push a “racist, false narrative†about immigration.
“No, no and no,†Sandi Tibbetts Murphy posted on Facebook Friday. “Especially for those of you who did not know her in life, you do not get to usurp Mollie and her legacy for your racist, false narrative now that she is no longer with us. We hereby reclaim our Mollie.â€
Local news station KCCI identified Murphy as a cousin of Tibbetts.
