Cristhian Bahena Rivera has been charged in Iowa District Court for Poweshiek County with murder in the first degree.

According to the murder in the first degree arrest warrant, police captured Rivera after viewing video footage from an area on the east side of Brooklyn, Iowa from July 18, 2018.

“After review of the video, it was determined that Mollie Tibbetts was running near the area of Boundary and Middle street when a dark colored Chevy Malibu was in the same vicinity,” the warrant read. “The dark colored Chevy Malibu can be seen numerous times driving back-and-forth in the area.

Rivera described seeing Tibbetts.

“Rivera stated he then made a U-turn, drove back to an entrance to a field and then drove into a driveway to a cornfield,” the warrant read. “He noticed there was an ear piece from headphones in his lap and that is how he realized he put her in the trunk. He went to get her out of the trunk and he noticed blood on the side of her head. The defendant Rivera described the female clothing, that she was wearing including an earphone or headphone set.”
