   A young woman from Brooklyn, Iowa -- the same town where   
   Cristhian Rivera is accused of killing 20-year-old college   
   student Mollie Tibbetts -- said that Rivera creeped her out.   
      
   Brooke Bestell, 20, told the New York Times that she turned   
   Rivera, 24, down for a date.   
      
   “He would just stare. He wouldn’t really, like, talk,” she said.   
   “Something about him was off.”   
      
   Bestell added that he would send her repeated Facebook messages   
   in the middle of the night.   
      
   “Just over and over, like every week or so, he would message me   
   again,” she said. Her most recent messages from him were from   
   mid-June.   
      
   Bestell said that two of her friends also received messages from   
   him online.   
      
   “I don’t know how many other girls he probably was trying to   
   talk to,” she said.   
      
   Rivera approached Tibbetts as she was running on July 18, and   
   she threatened to call the cops, according to an arrest   
   affidavit obtained by Oxygen.com.   
      
   The exchange enraged Rivera, according to the documents, and he   
   claims he blacked out before coming to at an intersection with   
   Tibbetts' body in the trunk of his car.   
      
   Rivera said he does remember seeing Tibbetts’ headphones in his   
   lap or removing her bloodied body from his trunk.   
      
   “The defendant further described during the interview that he   
   dragged Tibbetts on foot from his vehicle to a secluded location   
   in a cornfield,” the affidavit says.   
      
   The findings of a preliminary autopsy revealed she died from   
   “homicide resulting from multiple sharp force injuries,   
   according to the Iowa Department of Public Safety.   
      
   Police hinted that Rivera may have known Tibbetts.   
      
   "He tells us that he had seen her before but beyond that, I   
   can't tell you anymore," Rick Rahn of the Iowa Division of   
   Criminal Investigation said, according to CBS News.   
      
   Rivera is being held on a $5 million cash bond. His arrest led   
   to a national uproar and controversy surrounding his immigration   
   status.
