Prosecutors Say Mollie Tibbets' Murder Suspect Had 'Specific Intent' To Kill

Prosecutors in the tragic Mollie Tibbetts case say the suspect accused in her murder had "specific intent" to kill her, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

The Iowa college student, 20, was found dead in a cornfield and immigrant Cristhian Rivera was arrested for the crime. He has pled not guilty.

But prosecutors wrote in a court filing exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com on Wednesday afternoon that Rivera "caused the death of Mollie Tibbetts, that he acted with malice aforethought, premeditation, willfulness, deliberation, and specific intent to kill."

As RadarOnline.com readers know, the sophomore at the University of Iowa was found dead in a cornfield after a month-long search with both state and federal authorities.

Tibbetts' autopsy results revealed that she died from “multiple sharp force injuries.”

Rivera allegedly spotted Mollie running on her routine jog in the secluded town of Brooklyn, Iowa on July 18 when he parked his car, got out and ran alongside her, according to the documents obtained by RadarOnline.com.

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.

The new documents show that when cops asked Rivera if the black Chevy Malibu was his, Rivera said, "Yes, that's my car."
