Defense bringing Ron Pexa back up - implying he was the Tama County LEO who was in on the sex trafficking. Pexa's name mentioned often during trial. Lived near body location. #MollieTibbetts @wqad

Related or not, there’s something creepy and slimy about Ron Pexa.

Asst. AG Brown objecting to nearly every question, based on relevance to the #MollieTibbetts case. Judge reminding defense we are here on MT, not XH case. @wqad #MollieTibbetts

Judge getting impatient. "Miss Frese, I want to get where we need to go on this." #MollieTibbetts @wqad "We are spending too much time on XH than we are on this case. I want to get there."[/URL]

Samantha Rix up next


Did u live in a trailer park in Montezuma?

Are u familiar with Xavier H?


Yes, he is my son’s best friend.


You reported X missing, correct?


Yes, I know James Lowe


Was he a bf of X’s mom?


Yes


Lived in a trailer near sun valley ski resort


She asked me to go see if he was with James Lowe


Did X spend time with James?


No, not after they broke up


Trailer was locked up, no one around—I took LE out there and my note was gone


Objection—Lowe was never charged with anything about sex trafficking and it has nothing to do with Mollies murder


Sustained


Cross/ no questions

IMO, the female defense attorney has one of the most grating voices and inflections ever...she speaks in a sing songy, weird way that is like mocking and sarcastic

This defense 'duo' is really making a mockery of judicial system IMO. CBR had a trial, testified at said trial, was found guilty and sentenced. So much time and taxpayer dollars being wasted on this circus.

 

[StarryStarryNight]

I thought the judge had already ruled that this “new” evidence wasn’t coming in. Isn’t this hearing about a new trial? If the new evidence isn’t coming in, why are they talking about it?
I’m obviously confused. I’ve probably got this wrong. Could someone clarify for dense me?

Johnston investigated report of young woman picked up along the highway, claiming she had been sex trafficked out of a home in New Sharon, IA. #MollieTibbetts @wqad

Ben Johnston says James Lowe is known to LE as being involved in drug trafficking. Lowe once dated Xavior's mother. Still had contact with Xavior. #MollieTibbetts @wqad

 

[katydid23]

Ben Johnston/ sheriff in narcotics div


Do u know James Lowe?

Has intel been given that he is possibly involved in sex trafficking?


I have had ONE report of that


Objection: there was no charges brought, and it was dismissed

Sustained


How did u get that report?


On may 2oth, A woman in her 2o’s came forward—had been picked up night before on hi way 92 late night—Trooper picked her up to see if she needed help


She came forward and said that she had been sexually assaulted , drugged and trafficked —out of New Sharon 405 East Market st. Adam Marshman owner


James Lowe frequented that house?


Yes


So you made the search warrant, correct?


Yes


And some of her story was corroborated enough for you to get the search warrant?


Correct

Woman's sex trafficking report involves meeting James Lowe at a gas station in Brooklyn, IA. Says he bought her some gas, followed him to the New Sharon house. Claims she was shot up with drugs by James Lowe, kept there and couldn't leave. #MollieTibbetts @wqad

 

[Emi]

Denise Hnytka [URL='https://twitter.com/DeniseWQAD']@DeniseWQAD [/URL]38s
Johnston calls the woman "a willing participant" in going to the house, drug use and not an abduction like #MollieTibbetts @wqad

Denise Hnytka @DeniseWQAD 31s
James Lowe never charged in relation to woman's report. Johnston agrees there was not enough credible evidence of sex trafficking/crimes. @wqad #mollietibbetts

 

[katydid23]

Deputy Johnston is looking over the Search Warrant application for the New Sharon trap house

Mar of 2019 app was granted


Were u involved in Mollies case?


No


Female stated in may of 2018 this female met up with James Lowe in Brooklyn and went with him to New Sharon


Yes


Then what happened?


She and her bf went to that house and shot up some drugs with Lowe—she said she doesn’t remember anything after that


Objection relevance

Sustained


She said she shot up in that house for 6 months—said she didnt feel she was allowed to leave


Mar 2019—an officer told me a young female said Lowe had been following her and she thought he was going to kidnap her



Did you think of sharing this info with the Tibbetts investigation?


No


Cross:


Was Lowe charged with anything?

No


Did this young lady say she was having trouble remembering what actually happened


Yes


Was Gavin Jones involved here?


No



How about Dalton?


No, no connection


Any connection to the Tibbetts case?



NO, none

[StarryStarryNight]

My distain for this defense team just grows and grows....



edit: daggum spell check

 

[FrostedGlass]

I wanted to hear more about the possible George/Mexican Mafia connection. I didn't listen to all of the trial, so I missed the Ron Pexa/torture room stuff.

Not surprising is JL is known to LE for drug dealing.

 

[Gardenista]

This is a complete waste

It was so very sad when defense put Pexa’s daughter on the stand who cried uncontrollably. It was unnecessary imo.

Yes, so hateful of the defense to do that to her
