Shocking Connection: Mollie Tibbetts Knew Her Suspected Killer
Feb. 25 2019, Updated 11:47 a.m. ET
Mollie Tibbetts appears to have known her suspected killer Cristhian Rivera, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report.
Tibbetts went to Brooklyn, Guernsey, and Malcom High School in Brooklyn, Iowa with Rivera’s baby mama, Iris Monarrez, in Iowa — and the two young women were even Facebook friends, RadarOnline.com can confirm.
In an October 2012 post, Monarrez wrote: That moment when you feel like you got no one there for you.
Tibbetts commented “??” beneath the sad status update.
Monarrez would begin dating Rivera in 2013, and later welcomed his child.
Tragically, Monarrez’ boyfriend would later allegedly lead to Tibbetts’ sudden, horrific death.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Tibbetts was a “cheerful” student beloved by classmates. She graduated in 2017.
Rivera confessed to following her on her evening jog in his black Malibu, and even dumping her body in a nearby cornfield on July 18. The college student was just 20.
