He could simply be lying out his *advertiser censored**.
That's my opinion.

How can you see that???
I have thought all along that it is another workers car so could be. Letting them drive farm vehicles off the property is a liability. for the farm. Unless the employees are extremely trusted but still a liability as you can see what has happened here. I am going with I think it might be another workers car if it has MN plates.
I agree. Although I have to admit, if he has the luxury of living the rest of his life getting off on the memory of what he did to Mollie, I'd rather him receive the death penalty.<modsnipped> Additionally, because he's the criminal in a high profile case, anyone who takes him on is going to get famous too. But even beyond that, this man is never going to hurt another female, he's never going to have the american dream, and he's never again going to be free. In that respect, I'm kind of glad they don't have the death penalty because he can live in the mess he created for himself every day for the rest of his life.
Where is he now while being held?
NEVER have the American dream, despite the woman in the N.Y. Times article calling him " A clean cut American Person." Like anyone says that. How about clean cut American Prisoner?<modsnipped> Additionally, because he's the criminal in a high profile case, anyone who takes him on is going to get famous too.

For what it's worth, when I saw the zoomed in shot of the Malibu posted yesterday (when it was being towed), I immediately thought it was a MN plate. I am familiar with those, as I live in a state near there.
However, I wasn't as familiar with IA and I can see where their plates also have the blue at the top, so now I'm not sure.
Making the conscious effort to drive out of his way to place the body into a cornfield and then proceeding to cover the body with cornstalks makes it clear that he knew right from wrong.I believe, and Alethea can correct me, but it wouldn't matter. I think it has something to do with the ability to distinguish right from wrong, but regardless even if he couldn't make that distinction between right or wrong the sentence would be the same, it would only serve as a mechanism to argue a difference in where he might be incarcerated.
I'm comparing the license plate to the Nissan's, as well as the tow truck's. They look the same, and at least the tow truck you would assume is Iowa. The Nissan's is a little closer and I think it looks like a smaller word at the top, Iowa vs. Minnesota.For what it's worth, when I saw the zoomed in shot of the Malibu posted yesterday (when it was being towed), I immediately thought it was a MN plate.

Police are clearly looking into connections with other incidents in Iowa during the last 7-8 years. Similar criminal activities, such as unsolved murders of female victims, will very likely be at the top of the list.
"Rivera had not criminal record before his arrest.
“All of a sudden he just does it,” Mortvedt says. “Who escalates to abduction, kidnapping and homicide that fast?”
“That is part of the ongoing investigation,” Mortvedt says. “We want to dig into his background — and not just the last four weeks. Who is this guy? Where has he been? What has he done? How can we verify that?”
Mollie Tibbetts’ Body Was Found 500 Yards Into Cornfield: ‘He Tried to Camouflage Her’
DeKalb county is a pretty rough area with high crime.Cristhian Bahena Rivera has a very messy name history. What was this person arrested for? Is it related to peeping, sexual assault? If not, probably not related.
Will they release the additional info to the public?Yeah I think he made that decision to cover her with corn, in the spur of the moment.
The medical examiner talked about bringing in additional experts, to include a forensic anthropologist. The final report could take 6 weeks.
Determining time of death, will come from other evidence (data etc). They won’t be able to nail down the time of death from the autopsy alone, as too much time has passed, and decomposition would have been extreme. If this were a fresh body, they would be able to do that, but not here.
I've never heard a person who murders a woman and hides her body in a cornfield referred to as a "clean cut American person".NEVER have the American dream, despite the woman in the N.Y.

Good point. Knowing the lawyer, he will try anyway. But you're right, it would be hard to prove without a battery of tests and real life history. I can imagine this lawyer saying something like he covered it up because he didn't want it to get cold. The poor guy was only thinking of her welfare!Would he have told police he covered the body with corn leaves to hide it if he didn't know right from wrong?
Some of the members here have posted the opposite scenerio; maybe he pulled over and Mollie stopped and did chat to him (his ex-girlfriend was a friend on Social Media, went to the same school etc). She said she was going to her mum's to eat; he offers to her there. It was a hot and humid evening. Mollie gets into the car; he strikes her on the side of the head with something. He drives to the cornfield where she was found. If he used a knife or similar object; it's a 'cowards' weapon. So I think he gained her trust. The further autopsy and car DNA results will reveal more of what actually happened.
And yet, they DID! Astonishing. Especially after knowing full well what he did at that time. It made me cringe.I've never heard a person who murders a woman and hides her body in a cornfield referred to as a "clean cut American person".
it does sound like a strange phrase. I don't think it would be made by another American, and it was probably used to describe their impression of him before they found out he did this.I've never heard a person who murders a woman and hides her body in a cornfield referred to as a "clean cut American person".
