Who was Mollie Tibbetts, and what happened to her?
Originally from San Francisco, California, Mollie Cecilia Tibbetts, daughter of Laura Calderwood and Rob Tibbetts, was a 20-year-old student at the University of Iowa. She reportedly moved to Iowa with her two siblings and mother, Laura Tibbetts.
On July 18, 2018, Mollie reportedly went for a peaceful jog that day near her house in Brooklyn, Iowa, right before she disappeared.
A month after her disappearance, it was discovered by police that she was reportedly abducted on her way to jog and brutally murdered by a man named Cristhian Bahena Rivera, who was 24 years of age at the time.
Her cold-blooded killer, Cristhian Bahena Rivera, later on, August 21, reportedly led the police to Mollie's body, which was found in a cornfield in Poweshiek County. Reportedly, on May 28, 2021, Cristhian Bahena Rivera was found guilty of first-degree murder of Mollie Cecilia Tibbetts.
On August 30, 2021, Rivera received a life sentence in prison without parole for the cold-blooded murder of 20-year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera.
Reportedly, Judge Joel Yates, who gave Rivera's sentence of life in prison, said:
"Mr. Bahena Rivera, you and you alone forever changed the lives of those who loved Mollie Tibbetts."
Laura Calderwood, the victim's mother, said in the courtroom, addressing Cristhian Bahena Rivera:
"Mollie was a young woman who simply wanted to go for a quiet run on the evening of July 18 and you chose to violently and sadistically end that life,...Because of your actions Mr. Rivera, I will never get to see my daughter become a mother."
