Fox News
The man on trial for the 2018 murder of Mollie Tibbetts testified in an Iowa courtroom on Wednesday that two armed men wearing masks forced him to drive up the college student the night she went missing.
Rivera testified that two masked men appeared in his home wielding a gun and a knife and ordered him into his car. He said he followed their directions to drive and then stop near a jogger, whom he now recognizes was Tibbetts. Rivera, who the defense has painted as a hard-working, family-centered immigrant from Mexico who was pressured into making a false confession, also testified that he paid a coyote to cross over a river between Mexico and Texas to enter the U.S.More Related News
