   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.   
      
   Mollie Tibbetts Timeline

   Mollie’s boyfriend saw her for the last time on July 16, before

   On July 17, Dalton and his brother, who lives with him, drove to
