Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 *ARREST* #33

The Affidavit

He is leaving out the assault, beating & rape IMO.
He blacked out...fast forward to dumping & seeing blood.
This guy along with Chris Watts version of events is making me sick.
It’s like they kill these women twice!

 

[Flowercb]

So this told police all these details, that he got out of the car, ran alongside Mollie, that she wanted to call police, and that he chased her down? he admitted all that? and then he blacked out (sure, right, he blacked out, unaware, after he caught her and did the unspeakable......

He is such a creep! Admit what you did and I think he planned this.

 

[EaglesSpeical]

I cannot imagine the emotion her family must be experiencing hearing the details. Also, how does Dalton Jack have any emotion other complete loss, rage and anguish. just terrible human tragedy all around. Sad, sad, sad. Keep these folks in the forefront of your thoughts please.

So basically she DID suffer in every way. There is no reason this should happen in small town America. Nowhere, but ESPECIALLY in a Brooklyn, Iowa.

When he gets upset, he blacks out. He says he found an ear piece from her headphones in his lap and that's how he realized he put her in the trunk. GMAB

Thanks for the recap. The video crapped out about 15 seconds in.

Let's not blame all illegals for this, please. There are plenty of home-grown sick f*cks who do this all the time. Odds are that every once and awhile, one will be illegal. Let's concentrate on why women are subjected to violent crimes and what we can do to stop it. *THINKING* has to change. Laws have to change. How we treat our fellow humans has to change. This is not an illegal immigrant issue. This is something more basic and visceral that needs to be addressed.

Yes. I know many. They mostly just work, have big parties with tons of food and music and go to church. Southern California was basically built by them.

Clearly, this being is evil. No way to understand where that comes from or why.

Watching press conference. So sad. I feel like I can't even go out for a run because you never know when some sick person is going to take your life. My heart hurts for Mollie and her family/friends.

I feel the same. Being a fellow runner is what drew me into Mollie's story and it just makes me sick to think of how her life changed in an instant. No one should have to fear for their life just for running around their neighborhood.

The reporter asking the question about what message would you tell women on how to keep themselves safe really bothers me.

The answer should have been, "teach your sons respect for women".

This!! ^^ Going for a run around your neighborhood shouldn't have to be an unsafe thing to do.

 

[MargeGunderson]

Of course not, but by saying that he admitted he has a rage problem....wonder what else he's done before Mollie....

I'm wondering about this too. It was speculated for a while that if she was abducted the perp probably had previously done something and now hearing the details it certainly sounds like it. He may not have murdered before, in fact probably not, but stalking, assault, rape, harassment all seem likely. I don't think this guy woke up one day, saw Mollie, and decided to abduct and kill her out of nowhere.

 

[Ran]

not with recent guilty verdicts and pleas. Distractions are welcomed per experience

I don't think this killing or the facts surrounding it are a "distraction." In fact some of it goes directly to policy which is something the media needs to cover. One does not need to take a position here on the political aspects to note there are policy aspects

 

[Elainera]

I am shocked tho not as much as I could have been. I knew Mollie and her family didn't know her killer.
But IMO the killer "knows" someone that knew MT.
Dang it. I don't care for politics period.
He is under arrest. That's enough right now.
There may be further arrests.
Let's try and stay focused on justice as always.
For Mollie, her family and her boyfriend this afternoon/evening-

Someone said earlier on fb his ex is friends with Mollie.

Yes. I went for a run this morning. I carry weaponry but suddenly felt vulnerable in a way I usually don't. (There were a couple creepy people around my neighborhood). I thought of Mollie.

 

[SheriBerry]

Does anyone else think this isn’t this guys first trip down stalking and murder lane? Surely one doesn’t just wake up one day and see a jogger and think “I think I’m going to accost her today”?

 

[Jabarn]

So, so sad this happened to Mollie. Watched the press conference, and catching up on the posts here this evening.

Interesting to me how well the known facts posted at the beginning of each thread match up well to the events leading up to outcome. She WAS running, wearing her jogging attire, and with her iPhone. I always pictured her running by houses, but it was that desolate part of her route where the event occurred.

I think that is very helpful, websleuths! I certainly didn’t see resolution coming so soon, and did hope she would be found alive.

She is found, though, and hope that offers some amount of peace.

 

[Oregonmama]

The pure fear for Mollie that night...so sad! RIP Mollie and prayers for her family and friends

 

[Jerrod]

Rivera had only been on LE's radar for the past "24-36 hours".

 

[Seajay]

Good old fashioned detective work & a citizen providing video footage.

Sounds like a great candidate for that reward money. The video helped to locate the prep, the perp led them to Mollie.

 

[EJB123456]

Oh here you guys all are. I was chugging along trying to catch up in the old thread and thought it was weird there seemed to be very little chatter after the PC when I realized we had a new thread. TWENTY SIX PAGES worth. Good grief.

 

[AllGrace]

But... but... he was an ILLEGAL and he DID have guns and he DID kill someone. Can't help drawing a direct line between those things. Disregard for the law is screaming loud and clear here.

can you explain to me how a picture on FB tells you they were HIS guns?

 

[scotdeerie]

same way mentally ill people who shoot up schools do...easily

My estranged husband, who never fired a gun outside a gun range in his life, had an AK-47 in his apartment when he died. Along with dozens of other guns. He collected them and apparently had no problem in acquiring them even though he was housebound. And he wasn't even operating on an underground level -- he just wasn't that smart. If you want a gun you can get one. No laws need apply.

 

[sloane7777]

and then it m

If Rivera wasn't here, Molly would still be alive.

someone else might not be, where ever he would have been .....irrelevant he is a murderer, no matter where he landed .
