42:59Now Playing20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts vanished during a routine evening jog in Brooklyn, Iowa on July 18, 2018. Surveillance footage captured a black Chevy Malibu with distinctive aftermarket features circling the area, leading investigators to Cristhian Bahena Rivera, an undocumented farmworker living nearby. After a lengthy interrogation, Rivera admitted to approaching Tibbetts, fighting with her, and led police to her body in a Poweshiek County cornfield, where she had been stabbed multiple times. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
