Arrest Warrant Statement:

I have found it tricky to select details from the arrest warrant pdf, so I converted it to a word document. Here's the actual statement in the arrest warrant split into paragraphs to make it more readable:

"On 7/19/2018 Mollie Tibbetts [DOB 05/08/98] was reported as a missing person to the Poweshiek County Sheriff's Office. Shortly after Tibbetts was reported missing video footage was collected from an area on the east side of Brooklyn, Poweshiek County, Iowa. The video was from the evening of July 18, 2018. After review of the video it was determined that Mollie Tibbetts was running near the area of Boundary and Middle Streets when a dark colored Chevy Malibu was in the same vicinity.

The dark colored Chevy malibu can be seen numerous times driving back and forth in the area. It was determined through other investigation that the dark-colored Chevy Malibu was connected to Christian Rivera. Rivera was then questioned by law enforcement about the disappearance of Tibbetts on 8/20/2018.

Rivera admitted to making contact with a female running in Brooklyn and that he pursued her in his vehicle in an area east of Brooklyn, Poweshiek County, Iowa. Defendant Rivera stated he parked the vehicle, got out and was running behind her and along side of her. Rivera stated she grabbed her phone and said "I'm gonna call the police".

Rivera said he then panicked and got mad and that he then "blocked" his "memory" which is what he does when he gets very upset and doesn't remember anything after that until he came to at an intersection. Rivera stated he then made a u-turn, drove back to an entrance to a field and then drove into a driveway to a cornfield.

He noticed there was an ear piece from headphones in his lap and that is how he realized he put her in the trunk. He went to get her out of the trunk and he noticed blood on the side of her head. The Defendant Rivera described the female's clothing, that she was wearing including an ear phone or head phone set.

The defendant further described during the interview that he dragged Tibbetts on foot from his vehicle to a secluded location in a cornfield. Rivera described he put her over his shoulder and took her about 20 meters into the cornfield and he left her covered in some corn leaves and that he left her there, face up.

The Defendant was able to use his phone to determine the route he traveled from Brooklyn. Rivera then later guided law enforcement to her location from memory. Law enforcement located the remains of a deceased female in the area Rivera took them to. The physical surroundings of her location and other factors at the scene matched his earlier physical description of the area as that where he placed her body.

Based on the interview with Rivera, the clothing found at the scene where the body was located and tentative identification by the medical examiner based on information about certain articles of her clothing, the deceased female is Mollie Tibbetts."

Makes me curious if there was an exchange in town, and if he then drove off. She must have thought it was over. Then a mile or so down 385th there he is again. It would be terrifying!

That's what is sounds like. He accosted her, and either blocked the route home (to her mom's house), or she carried on running out of Brooklyn unaware that he was not giving up.

"Rivera admitted to making contact with a female running in Brooklyn and that he pursued her in his vehicle in an area east of Brooklyn, Poweshiek County, Iowa. "

If taken literally, it almost sounds like Rivera made contact with Mollie in Brooklyn, perhaps at the Boundary/Middle Str. location. Then he pursued her in his car as she ran along 385 Ave.

Regarding: she made him mad and thus the "block" "memory" problem, did he get mad after he made contact, and then he pursued her with his car? When did she allegedly threaten to call police: at the time that he made contact, or when he was pursuing her in his car? He had enough socialization in Iowa to know that pursuing a woman with a car is going to lead to calling police. He can't very well claim that he didn't expect that.

If she made him mad when he made contact in Brooklyn, did he not have enough time to come to his wits before he pursued he in his car?

The answers to those questions would make a big impact on "intent," wouldn't it?

I think the one where he seems to be talking to himself may be a conversation he had with someone who deleted their account. I've seen things like that several times, and it always looks so weird to see just one side of the conversation.

It does. If he was rejected at the first contact, which is the normal reaction from any jogger who is bothered by a man in a car, he must have been mad at that moment when they were in Brooklyn. He must have pursued her in his car after she rejected him.

Just a wild guess, but something must have happened at that time as well. That's 2 months before Mollie's abduction and murder.

I wonder why he thought he was evil at that time - very curious.

Yes it is weird. I’ve not seen that before.

Someone deleted their part of conversation I’ve been told. Never saw that before and thought it looked strange.
