Bill Clinton makes ‘stunning’ remark on Laken Riley’s murder

The ‘Outnumbered’ panel reacted to former President Clinton admitting Georgia nursing student Laken Riley likely wouldn’t have been killed if her alleged murderer had been properly vetted before he came to the U.S.

A 25-year-old mom and fitness enthusiast with thousands of TikTok followers has been found dead a week after she vanished from a shopping trip to a Georgia Walmart, according to authorities.

Minelys Rodriguez was last seen at a Walmart in Cornelia on Oct. 22, and her last known contact was a text message to her fiancé that evening, which he told local media sounded suspicious.

She never made it home, and her family reported her missing the following day.

The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office requested help from the state three days later after making little progress in the search.

On Monday, Georgia’s Bureau of Investigation (GBI) arrested a man named Angel DeJesus Rivera-Sanches, 24, who authorities said will face murder charges. 

GBI agents, state Department of Natural Resources crews and local police discovered Rodriguez’s body Tuesday evening, authorities said.

The victim was a U.S. citizen originally from Puerto Rico. Her TikTok account contained a mix of shopping videos and personal stories, including about a past that involved childhood run-ins with the law.
