Part 4: The State of Iowa vs Cristhian Bahena Rivera | The Murder of Mollie Tibbetts

Fri, 10 Jan 2025

Description

Part 4Before we begin, I want to take a moment to reflect on the life of Mollie Tibbetts, a young woman whose light touched everyone she met. Mollie Cecelia Tibbetts was born on May 8, 1998, in San Francisco, California, and raised in both San Francisco and Brooklyn, Iowa. She graduated from BGM High School in 2017 and was pursuing a degree in psychology at the University of Iowa, driven by her dream of becoming a child psychologist to help children struggling with mental health issues.Mollie loved life, and it showed in everything she did. She excelled in writing and speech, sharing her thoughts on complex topics like mental health and self-esteem. She made friends everywhere she went, and children adored her. She worked at a summer camp where her laughter and warmth left a lasting impression. She was a runner, a dancer, an actor, and a singer. But above all, Mollie was a young woman filled with kindness, ambition, and an undeniable joy for life.In July 2018, Mollie disappeared while on an evening jog near her hometown of Brooklyn, Iowa, sparking a massive search effort that united the community and drew nationwide attention. Sadly, her body was discovered weeks later.This episode covers the court trial in full, edited for length and clarity.Contact:[email protected] Blog for updates and insights:https://crimeatorium.com/blogSupport:Donations are appreciated, if you would like to help support the show, use the link below and buy me a burrito and a Diet Pepsi:http://Ko-fi.com/crimeatoriumFor $3 a month, you can support this show on Patreon, in return you will receive ad free, early, and bonus episodeshttps://www.patreon.com/crimeatoriumIf you like the podcast, please share it on social media and with friends, and take a minute to leave a review for Crimeatorium on Spotify, Podchaser or Apple Podcasts.https://www.crimeatorium.com/rate/Music:im Kulig (timkulig.com)Titles: Crimeatorium IntroLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0997280/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1Thank you for listening!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/crimeatorium9009/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ms. Johnson, I want to take you back to the area in the cornfield that you examined. Let's go ahead and look at those photos we just admitted. 86 is on the screen. Do you see that?

16.928 - 28.777 Host

Okay. Whenever we had you testify this morning, we had States Exhibit 27, which is now on the screen. That's a view into the corn near where Molly Tibbetts was found. Is that right?

States Exhibit 86, which has just been admitted, is what view?

34.448 - 38.71 Host

This is the view facing back towards the gravel road facing north.

39.19 - 50.856 Host

Opposite direction of the photo we just viewed, is that correct? Correct. All right, and that distance again from this location back to the road is how far? Is it a little over 400 feet?

50.876 - 54.058 Host

430, I believe it was.

54.478 - 56.339 Host

You did measure it with the wheel, is that right?
