OMG BS. He says he blacked out after running/chasing Mollie. She had her phone and told him to leave her alone or she was calling the police.

Heartbroken.

Once the press conference finishes please one of you be kind and post a written summary. My computer has decided not to let me watch any videos at all tonight Thanks a lot, appreciated.

 

[PaulR]

Rivera said he ran along side/behind her, Mollie said to go and threatened to call cops, he chased after her, then "blacked out"

 

[WideOpen]

They have the video's/ so heartbreaking!!!
this hurts to hear!!!! omg terrifying for her

 

[Rallibella]

Local had security cameras that showed a vehicle that they identified belonging to suspect. Camera showed Mollie running and that he was one of last to see her.

 

[Hopeful One]

So they do have surveillance of her running. I feel sick to my stomach.

 

[CoachSue]

Suspect led LE to her body, found in cornfield with corn stalks placed on top.

 

[Betty P]

Video from security cameras, identified a vehicle. A black Malibu. Tracked his movements, patterns. Determined he was last one to see Mollie when she was out running. Conducted lengthy interviews with him. Said he had seen her before, interacted with her. Ran alongside her. She told him to leave her alone. He chased her. He "blacked out".

385th St. outside of Brooklyn.

She was found somewhere else. 460th st.

After finished interviewing him, he told them where she was buried.

 

[Rallibella]

So suspect said he blacked out near a location and that is near the area her body was located.

 

[Bravo]

I'm crushed. Found in a cornfield!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hopeful One]

He followed her, she threatened to call police, he chased her down, and then "blacks out".

 

[WEL]

You and me both.

I am SOOOOOOO going to have to sit on my hands after this announcement

Praying for Mollie's family at this time.

The LEO speaking at the PC said they interviewed him, and he admitted to running next to her and her saying to leave her alone or she would call the police, and he said she ran away and he chased her, and then "blacked out."
