00:00:29
man though right like was he was he in his' 80s I don't know in the in the ' 80s he
00:00:36
looked like he was in his 80s he he's one of those guys that like I think when he was probably born like when he was 20
00:00:42
he became 80 yeah yeah he he looked old when we like you said at the time of that case of the boys on the tracks case
00:00:51
yeah but we had a lot of fun with FY Malik and uh the filling vomi shirts I I put as a 20% off 19 99 I just looked so
00:01:01
he died FY Malik died uh Tuesday the 21st at the age of 85 is what this says mhm um and it sounds like he 85 years
00:01:12
too long sounds like he was in clear waterer Florida yeah if you look more Bringing
00:01:18
Down the class the class level of uh Clear Water Florida well you know how that you know when he was in Arkansas
00:01:25
how they move they ended up moving him uh to a different apartment and then from there he took a job somewhere and I
00:01:32
was reading that there I think he was up to making $165,000 a year and he clearly a lot of
00:01:42
cheda my friend and he clearly he's either he's either corrupt as hell or or dumb as hell and just doesn't know how
00:01:51
to perform his job I mean give me $65,000 a year and I'll do his job so okay so FY mik has passed away we we
00:02:01
have FY Malik t-shirts yeah I marked them down to 1999 here's the problem with selling
00:02:09
T-shirts with FY Malik on on the T-shirt because not only was he old looking in the80s he was also very ugly in the 80s
00:02:18
an ugly man yeah but he uh but they're they're NICE T-Shirts I love and I love the the phrase feeling FY it just I mean
00:02:28
I just still laugh about it to to this day all right let's well let's get a little serious cuz we got a lot of
00:02:33
updates on uh the Molly Tippets case that we should get to so my first thoughts here
00:02:41
Captain are a couple things I did talk to a lot of people last week um when the shows came out on Tuesday Wednesday
00:02:49
Thursday you know talking to a lot of people people reached out to me a lot of great feedback people love that we were
00:02:56
trying to cover something as it was happening some people thought maybe we rushed it a bit I did
00:03:02
have a couple people that said hey you should have just waited until the press conference and told us what really
00:03:09
happened we would have waited for the episode and my response to that is unfortunately that wasn't an option we
00:03:17
didn't have the choice of doing that and we were actually doing something last week for the first time it was new for
00:03:22
us as many shows as we've done to do something that that news is breaking as we are recording the episode MH and I
00:03:30
think there was some confusion because our goal was to just talk about our disappearance on the way to the garage I
00:03:39
get a text message saying that they found Molly and so that that changed things so
00:03:47
I think there were some listeners that just thought because there was breaking news in the morning that we just jumped
00:03:53
on the case no and that was not the case we're going to try to shine light on her
00:03:58
disappearance and maybe you know help get some closure but then it happened all that day yeah we were going to cover
00:04:06
it anyway we were going to talk specifically about what was known about The Disappearance right what some of the
00:04:13
theories were on the internet and and some of the rumors coming out of Brooklyn Iowa that was our intent and it
00:04:21
takes me depending on traffic 45 minutes to maybe slightly over an hour to meet up with you in the garage on some days
00:04:28
and what happened last week was before I left my house I actually Googled Molly Tibbits just to see that by chance were
00:04:38
there was there some kind of update because they were looking and I'll tell you what man you can I cannot say enough
00:04:45
about the investigation and the investigators that that were involved in that they worked their asses off and
00:04:50
they didn't quit they weren't going to quit until till they found some answers and so because of that I hit the old
00:04:59
Google machine right before I left my house and I said hey you know was there any updates no nothing at that time I
00:05:06
drive here and I can't remember I wasn't listening to the radio so they may have
00:05:11
made an announcement on the radio but whatever I was listening to probably sports or something like that was not
00:05:17
going to have an update so I I I pull up you're already at the garage I get out of my car and you go they found her and
00:05:24
I you know what to be honest with you I thought you were just [ __ ] with me because yeah cuz I make jokes like that
00:05:30
all the time well no no not that it would be a bad joke just that it you know anytime so when we select a case
00:05:39
Okay sometimes we select them weeks in advance sometimes we select them for next week and with Molly's case it was
00:05:47
in the news we selected it for the next week and we also were getting hundreds of emails saying you know bring
00:05:55
attention to this case please it would have been straight up rude to the listeners had we not covered it because
00:06:00
we received so many so just an outpour of of people wanting to know more about the case and to to keep it on everyone's
00:06:08
mind and so when we started uh when we when we decided we were going to cover it one thing that we
00:06:16
kind of chatted about as we would talk about the case throughout the week was you know this could they could find her
00:06:23
at any moment right there could be breaking news on this at any moment we just need to be aware of that we need to
00:06:28
constantly remind ourselves to check and check and check and check and that's why
00:06:33
what I mean is that I thought you were messing with me I thought like you know cuz that's where our last conversation
00:06:38
was and I pull up and the the reason too I had just checked before I left my house you're like right they found her
00:06:44
and I'm like really when I gave you one of those little kind of little attitude really when right and and the tough
00:06:49
thing here too is there was a lot of I believe her father is a you know very intelligent man um and he had a gut
00:06:59
feeling that that she was alive and that somebody took her and I kept thinking well it maybe it's going to be a good
00:07:08
scenario where where they do find her within that time frame of us researching the case but that she's alive um and and
00:07:18
then when we get the sad news that she's uh found dead you know it just kind of changed everything for our show and we
00:07:27
just try to do the best we can and again one the reasons why we can't wait is we
00:07:31
have a schedule that we uh committed to and that's how we're able to have advertisers and they're able to fund the
00:07:40
show so people can listen for free so well essentially so just so everybody understands this most simple way to
00:07:47
break this down is we were punting we weren't drawing up plays and and calling them we were we were punting we were
00:07:53
adapting to a situation that was um it was a tough one to be in and and not because of the podcast but because of
00:08:02
we're getting breaking news and it's not news that we want to hear it's sad news
00:08:06
well let's get to what we do know now okay so there was an individual that was arrested okay and we learned this from
00:08:15
the press conference and the thing that's so interesting to me here Captain two things that I saw in this
00:08:22
investigation that you don't see in every single investigation one the police worked incredibly hard on this
00:08:29
and it seemed like they were all one front you know it was all one group working in unison together they were
00:08:36
going to get this thing and solve this thing as soon as possible the other thing that was interesting we talked
00:08:41
about the community a community of only 1,400 people first thing I noticed in the press conference was how many times
00:08:50
they said they being law enforcement said this community helped us solve this case this community was involved in this
00:08:58
investigation everybody that knew anything or thought anything thought they saw anything they
00:09:04
were coming forward and then there was also anybody that was coming forward that had any video footage was coming
00:09:11
forward and submitting that video footage or any store that they asked for video footage they were receiving that
00:09:18
with no fight back at all where sometimes people will say you know we don't have to give you our surveillance
00:09:25
footage until you get a warrant for it and when we were trying to put together the episodes um you heard us there we we
00:09:32
took a break because we thought we had the name of the individual that was arrested it turns out that that man was
00:09:39
not arrested as far as I know no and he actually um possibly was one of the guys
00:09:45
that helped get video footage right he may have had some kind of you know we talk about different uh security systems
00:09:52
here on our program from time to time you can have these that are set up to have video surveillance mhm and he may
00:09:59
have had just that and offering that up and that may be where his name came from
00:10:05
yeah and we got that we were recording live and uh a very credible Source um that I talk about a lot on the show uh
00:10:15
my buddy Morgan was giving us the information he was the individual that text me uh earlier on my way to the
00:10:23
garage saying that they they found her so he he is a very credible source and he was digging for information thought
00:10:30
that was a name and it was misreported and in the report he was reading to me mhm so that's how we got the name and
00:10:38
you want to talk about feeling like a dicknose I mean I'm going to feel like a dicknose forever for um you know having
00:10:45
this individual associated with that he was arrested for her murder well nobody deserves that and and I uh deest
00:10:56
apologies to him cuz um like we said we we were just going off the fly yeah and and and you know Morgan who was trying
00:11:05
to help us out um I love that guy too man because he he has apologized a thousand times for hey hey you know and
00:11:15
it's like it was great to it was great to know that he was passionate about the case too because he wasn't just going oh
00:11:22
well it happened you know he he didn't wasn't just kind of brushing it off he was over apologetic and well he's super
00:11:29
passionate about the True Crime Community True Crime garage True Crime listeners so hopefully we get him on the
00:11:36
show I mean he's been begging to be on a we'll consider it on a off the Record show he's been begging for it if we if
00:11:43
we ever sell out a FY Malik shirts then that will be next on our list Morgan be on the show so the man that was actually
00:11:50
arrested in this case is 24-year-old Christian Riviera and um he is a illegal immigrant
00:11:59
living in the Brooklyn Iowa area he had lived there we're getting a little bit of sketchy news and and what I mean by
00:12:07
that is because he was living and working there illegally let's say off the books well he was actually on the
00:12:14
books so where he worked I actually believe that he worked at the pig farm um and he was a farmer he he worked farm
00:12:23
land I I don't know for certain that it was the yeah but remember how the pig farm became not a pig farm mhm uh the
00:12:30
reports that I've seen um said that it's part of that group okay so that's why um
00:12:38
they would find some stuff you know the red shirt maybe it was hers maybe it wasn't but they found some stuff in that
00:12:44
area and he gave false information to that employer right so but again I think these employers need to do a little bit
00:12:55
better of a job of researching that information that they're getting I'm not going to pretend to have complete
00:13:02
understanding of how that works but what from what I've read is that there's something called an e verification
00:13:09
process right and supposedly the information he provided to them to the employer he passed all of that e
00:13:17
verification process here be here's where the problem becomes so you pass the E verification whatever right and
00:13:25
then they give you a check and then you have that same information that you gave
00:13:30
the employer the illegal immigrate has that same information that they gave the employer to get the job illegally then
00:13:37
they go get a bank account and and so we're we're talking about checks and balances and checks and
00:13:43
balances that people didn't do right I've had several times where people have come into me and they go well here's my
00:13:53
ID and here's my check mhm now the the name and everything matches but the picture doesn't match and maybe he had a
00:14:03
fake ID with his picture on it who knows but they have to do a better job of checking um checks and balances and if
00:14:11
that didn't happen I mean if that happened correctly then these illegal immigrants wouldn't have a chance to
00:14:19
have a job and and maybe they wouldn't be here illegally so Christian Riviera the guy that's been arrested and charged
00:14:27
with first-degree murder charged with with the first-degree murder of Molly Tibbits my understanding Captain is that
00:14:33
he was not using false information or fake information to um to have that job he was using someone's actual Legal
00:14:43
Information that's yeah he he just took somebody else's information that's why I'm saying
00:14:50
did the picture on his ID match him MH because the people at the bank should have known that right you know so people
00:14:55
can talk about building a wall and and Border Patrol and all that crap but there's stuff that people can do within
00:15:02
their Community you know to alleviate some of this issue right and so my understanding is that he actually LED
00:15:11
them to her body and this being what what led them to him was surveillance footage yeah that they had some kind of
00:15:19
footage from somebody we don't know who uh which shows a dark colored Chevy Malibu in the area where she was jogging
00:15:27
where she was running old shitty Malibu and so somehow this has not been released but this is me kind of guessing
00:15:35
here is that they somehow linked that vehicle to him well the other report too or some speculation is that the vid the
00:15:46
video actually shows that he was following her in a car trying to talk with her through the
00:15:51
window and when that wasn't working he actually stopped the car and got out and if that was you know that could be on
00:15:59
the footage as well they're not going to release any of that information not until the trial well and his defense uh
00:16:05
attorney already submitted a gag order okay because at the press conference they said a lot right you know a lot
00:16:13
more than they normally say so it's possible that he could have been following her in the car got out of the
00:16:20
car which he did he that's what he confessed to uh but that possibly could be on video footage and the words he
00:16:28
uses is that he ran along he he ran after her and then ran alongside her which sorry but that's called chasing he
00:16:39
was chasing her or stalking yeah and at some point she says hey man and and I'm going to call the police you know get
00:16:47
away from me I'm calling the police and this is when he says he flipped out he got angry and next thing he knows he he
00:16:55
blacks out he claims that that he has when he get angry that he blacks out again claims this he states that the
00:17:06
next thing that he knows he's driving and he sees a white earbud on his lap to which then he goes I think she might be
00:17:16
in the trunk of my car well he finds her in the trunk of his car and she her head
00:17:22
is blooded and she's she's passed away at this point to which he then takes her to a country road to a um to a cornfield
00:17:32
and my understanding Captain is this cornfield is somewhat near the the former pig farm that we've discussed
00:17:38
several times and but again I think that's why I believe the report that says that he worked in some kind of
00:17:47
conjunction with that farm well and and so he would have known that area and if he left her there with the Fitbit or
00:17:54
with her phone and either were on for any period of time that might be why they were searching in that area right
00:18:01
and the thing we have to understand here is a lot of times especially when these
00:18:05
devices um when they lose power when they power down you're you might only get a general location of where that
00:18:15
device is you're not going to you may not get a Pinpoint location of exactly where that device is so they could have
00:18:22
been hunting and searching in the right area uh it sounds like they were and it we can only assume that it was a Fitbit
00:18:29
or a phone that led them there originally he leads them to the body to which he had already covered it up with
00:18:37
leaves and and things from from the cornfield and the thing here is what's crazy is there's a chance that
00:18:46
if they wouldn't have got all this hardcore police work and found this dude through good hardcore police work right
00:18:55
I wonder I wonder if there's a chance she may not have been found I don't know how I don't know the process of
00:19:00
harvesting that corn um but I do know that there's big giant machines that are used to do that and had she not been
00:19:07
found in advance it might have uh made the process even more difficult yeah yeah and then you also have you know
00:19:16
animals in nature to deal with as well and you know what we've heard this crap before from some of these guys that say
00:19:25
Hey I'm blacked out in the I think that's [ __ ] and and here's here's what it is in in my opinion is that
00:19:33
during the course of this time frame that he claims to have been blacked out he did things that that he is
00:19:40
embarrassed of he does things that he does not want want to talk about or want to discuss and that's his easy way of
00:19:48
giving himself an easy out and just saying hey I blacked out during the portion of this whatever happened then
00:19:54
and then I woke up and she was dead yeah that wasn't me man that was me when I black out
00:19:58
yeah you so he will be he he's being charged with first-degree murder MH and that should come to trial I I know he's
00:20:08
already been uh presented the charges but um they don't have a death penalty so he he would only be looking at life
00:20:17
imprisonment for these charges and you know what he looks like right right if you ever seen like a goatee with the
00:20:24
hair but the hair is kind of up a little bit kind of fluffed up yeah I'm looking at a picture of him
00:20:30
right now he looks like that if you put it on a piece of [ __ ] right right no so um but no death penalty uh that will
00:20:39
not be on the table it just be life in in prison um a couple I mean at least there like we talked about before I
00:20:50
don't know if there's ever closure um I don't know if I mean at least the family gets to hear the
00:21:00
why um but I don't think that gives them closure but at least they know the information and I think sometimes when
00:21:08
the families don't know the information of what happened to their loved ones um it's harder to uh start rebuilding and
00:21:18
reliving their lives right um so I think you know you know our thoughts are with
00:21:25
the family and all of her friends and um but that we've seen so many cases where people don't get any
00:21:33
answers uh and they're just left wondering and I think that would possibly wear on you a little
00:21:41
more well he had lived there for 7 years and so he would be somewhat recognizable
00:21:48
in a town of only 1,400 people yeah supposedly they didn't know each other though um right he had a child with
00:21:57
somebody and that person with an ex-girlfriend yeah and that person has some kind of
00:22:03
connection I've heard they might have been Facebook friends or something of that nature maybe went to school
00:22:08
together and so it's possible that Molly knew of this individual but maybe didn't
00:22:15
know him so the FBI Pro profilers uh were correct on that um when it came out that it's and that's what's really
00:22:23
difficult here is because one a lot of people were trying to make this a very political issue I know the president
00:22:29
talked about this um it's not a political issue it's uh it's a horrible individual that killed
00:22:38
somebody I know that people are going to take it and use it either way for their
00:22:44
agenda um but that I mean that's not what we do on this show we don't talk politics you know the the articles that
00:22:53
I've been reading over the course of this weekend were it's a lot of people saying hey in a
00:23:01
town this small it's scary and terrifying for us to believe and now have the understanding of that her
00:23:09
killer was somebody that we would see at the grocery store right or see it would
00:23:14
be somebody that we would pass in traffic and I agree with that 100% but the but the scary thing to me the the
00:23:22
the most terrifying part of this to me is that that split de split decision to decide to murder someone who we have no
00:23:33
reason to believe that they knew each other at all this guy apparently just was driving and saw her and all of a
00:23:41
sudden it it goes from from I see that person I might kill that person well I think like I said everybody's arguing
00:23:55
you know the IL illegal immig imant issue it is a fact that if you know he technically wasn't supposed to be here
00:24:06
so therefore if he wasn't here illegally he never would have had the chance to murder
00:24:12
Molly and and that's true and what I wonder is this individual did a lot to get a job use fake
00:24:25
information the I mean he went to work work afterwards mhm and I just wonder when she said I'm going to call the cops
00:24:36
if that was the trigger you know the trigger and if that was that becomes the motive mhm if she calls the cops maybe
00:24:45
the you know my job didn't figure out that I'm not who I say I am the bank didn't figure out there's probably a
00:24:51
bunch of other entities that didn't figure out he's not who he says he is maybe the cops will mhm and if the cops
00:24:59
figure that out I'm gone mhm and maybe that was the motive it was a sad week last week and like you said and like we
00:25:08
said at the end of the shows last week our thoughts and hearts are with the family and all we can do now is take
00:25:15
this guy to court take him to trial and get that guilty verdict and that I don't
00:25:23
know when the healing starts but regardless that trial needs to happen and and it needs that might be
00:25:32
able to help the healing start at some [Music] [Applause] point
