Former police officer testifies Cristhian Bahena Rivera led law enforcement to Mollie Tibbetts' body

Six more witnesses were called by the state Thursday, including Pamela Romero, a former police officer who interviewed Bahena Rivera in August 2018.

In the interview, which was centered around Tibbetts' disappearance, Romero said she showed Bahena Rivera photos of his car that were captured on surveillance video. He voluntarily said that they were photos of his car.

Romero testified Bahena Rivera said Tibbetts was "hot", and when he followed Tibbetts while she was running, she threatened to call police. That's when he allegedly fought her, and according to Romero, he said he blacks out when he gets angry.

Bahena Rivera told Romero he didn't remember putting Tibbetts in his car, but remembers taking her out.

Romero goes with Bahena Rivera to a cornfield opening, where Tibbetts' body would be found. Inside the vehicle, she read him his Miranda rights.

When Romero pressed Bahena Rivera for more details on what happened, she testified he replied, "I brought you here didn't I? So that means that I did it. I don't remember how I did it."

Why do I get the feeling she is leaving out into to protect the murder?
