A Brooklyn, Iowa, woman says she had her own encounter with
suspected killer, Cristhian Rivera, the man accused of abducting
and murdering University of Iowa student, Mollie Tibbetts.
“He would just stare. He wouldn’t really, like, talk,” Brooke
Bestell, 20, told The New York Times. “Something about him was
off.”
Bestell said Rivera once asked her out on a date. She declined
the offer but it didn’t stop him from trying to pursue her. He
reportedly began sending her Facebook messages in the middle of
the night. She added that he also started messaging two of her
friends.
“Just over and over, like every week or so, he would message me
again.”
Bestell stated the last message she received from Rivera
occurred on June 13 at around 3 a.m. A little over a month
later, Rivera allegedly killed 20-year-old Mollie, after he
abducted her while she was out jogging, according to court
documents.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, two other people in the
Brooklyn area reported similar accounts with Rivera. Speaking
on behalf of her 17-year-old sister, Brooklyn resident Bailey
Gibson, 18, told MailOnline that although her younger sibling
initially thought Rivera was nice, he eventually made the teen
feel unsafe and “creeped out.”
“I know Cristhian from my sister. She thought he was a nice,
well-spoken person. They hung out a few times but nothing really
happened romantically,” she said. “She told me that a little
while ago he drove up to her while she was walking through
Brooklyn. He told her she was really pretty and things like
that.”
“It was more flirty than sexual but my sister is very shy. She
didn’t appreciate it. Even though she knew him a little she felt
unsafe and didn’t want to talk to him. In the end she was really
creeped out by his behavior. She had to keep telling him she
wasn’t interested.”
After a while, according to Bailey, Rivera left her little
sister alone. Neither Bailey or her sister thought anything else
of it until the news of Mollie’s death and the details
surrounding it surfaced.
Another Brooklyn resident, Justin, stated that Rivera likely
followed his girlfriend home and circled around the block in her
neighborhood at least two times in the past.
“He followed my girlfriend twice – in the same exact black
Malibu,” Justin told the outlet. “I remember her calling me when
she noticed how slow he was driving by in circles, turning
around the block to keep up with her several times on her walk
home.”
Justin claimed the reported the first incident happened around
sunset as his fiancé made her way home from a grocery store.
Justin indicated someone driving a black car “drove past her
about six times,” then continued to circle around the
neighborhood after she arrived home.
“It makes you wonder if Mollie was his only victim,” Justin
added.
