Cristhian Bahena Rivera appears during a hearing at the Poweshiek County Courthouse in Montezuma, Iowa, on July 15, 2021.
Bahena Rivera’s lawyers sought to link Tibbetts’ death to the other young woman’s report of being kidnapped and sexually assaulted in summer 2018, and the recent disappearance of an 11-year-old boy from the same county. A 50-year-old suspected methamphetamine dealer has been investigated in both cases but hasn’t been charged in either, and prosecutors say he has no tie to Tibbetts at all.
Bahena Rivera, who illegally entered the U.S. from Mexico as a teenager, said he didn’t tell investigators about the two men earlier because they had threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend and young daughter. Maki said he came forward after seeing news clips about Bahena Rivera’s testimony in which he said two other men were responsible for the crime. Maki, 46, said he was getting no benefit for his testimony, saying he wanted to “do the right thing.”
I liked it better when they would swing from a tree for raping a woman.

Weak, impotent justice
He should be convicted on the basis of his haircut alone.
