Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Sentencing for the man convicted of killing University of Iowa student, Mollie Tibbetts, has been delayed amid new information. Judge Joel Yates ordered Cristhian Rivera’s sentencing be delayed after two witnesses told investigators that a different man confessed to the crime. The delay came about after the defense filed a motion, blaming the prosecution for withholding evidence. According to Bahena Rivera’s attorneys, an inmate at the county jail said in May that he heard someone identified as “inmate 2” admit that Tibbetts was “bound and gagged in a trap house but that he was directed to kill Tibbetts once the search for her got too close,” CBS 8 reports. Inmate 2 allegedly said he was ordered to stab Tibbetts, who was initially kidnapped for sex trafficking, but killed after the case became too high-profile. Inmate 2 allegedly said he was ordered to hide the body near a Hispanic male in Tibbetts’ area, to pin the blame on someone else. The witness said he came forward after he heard Rivera testify during the trial that two other men killed Tibbetts and put the blame on him. State prosecutors said the inmate is not credible and evidence presented at trial proved that the real killer is Rivera. Still, the defense requested that the inmate be given the opportunity to testify, although the defense had already rested its case.Joining Nancy Grace Today: Jason Oshins - New York Defense Attorney Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA www.angelaarnoldmd.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet" Featured on "The Piketon Massacre: Return to Pike County" on iHeartRadio Matt Finn - FOX News National Correspondent Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The body of a missing 13-year-old girl is found inside a pink tote bag discarded just off I-75 in Florida. Her guardian had reported the girl as missing. Now the guardian and an aunt have been arrested and charged with murder in Delia Young's death. As CrimeOnline previously reported, Valerie Young, 52, reported her niece Delia Young missing on May 16, saying she vanished from her home in Gainesville during the night. But her sister, Marian Williams, 57, told police that Delia was at her home that night when she saw Valerie Young beat her with an electrical cord. Williams, the girl’s guardian, reportedly made Young stop beating her, but Williams allegedly found her dead in her room the following morning.Joining Nancy Grace today: Matthew Mangino - Defense Attorney, Former Prosecutor, Author: "The Executioner's Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States", MattMangino.com, @MatthewTMangino Dr. Alan Blotcky PhD - Clinical Psychologist (Birmingham) specializing in Criminal, Child Custody and Abuse cases Dr. Kendall Crowns – Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Travis County, Texas (Austin) Dan Scott - Former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sergeant, 26 years with Special Victims Bureau Specializing in Child Abuse Dylan Lyons - Anchor/Reporter, WCJB TV20 News, WCJB.com, Instagram: @dylanclyons, Twitter: @dylanlyonsnews Daphne Young - National Chief Communications Officer, www.Childhelp.org, @childhelp Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bart Halderson, 50, and his wife Krista Halderson, 53, have been missing since before the 4th of July holiday. Their son, 23-year-old Chandler Halderson, reported them missing after they didn’t return from what he said was a planned weekend trip to their cabin in Langlade County. Chandler Halderson has since been arrested on suspicion of providing a false report in a kidnapping investigation. Investigators found human remains and a bloody tarp in a wooded area in a remote part of Dane County. An autopsy confirmed that father Bart Halderson died from homicidal violence including firearm injury. Krista Halderson is still missing. Chandler Halderson has not yet been charged with murder in his father’s death. A judge ordered him held on a $10,000 bond for the false report charge, despite the prosecutor’s request for a $1 million bond.Joining Nancy Grace Today: Wendy Patrick - California prosecutor, Author: “Red Flags” www.wendypatrickphd.com 'Today with Dr. Wendy' on KCBQ in San Diego Dr. Jeff Gardere - Board Certified Clinical Psychologist, Prof of Behavioral Medicine at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine www.drjeffgardere.com, Author: 'The Causes of Autism” @drjeffgardere  Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Featured on "The Piketon Massacre: Return to Pike County" on iHeartRadio Nicole Partin - Crimeonline.com Investigative reporter TIPLINE: Dane County Sheriff’s Office (608) 284-6900 Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
