She was blonde, approximately 5’2″, and 100 lbs.
That same night, a man checked into room 320 at the Pan American motel at 10630 Kingsway Avenue using the name Brent Stevens from Grand Prairie.
Riegel’s body was discovered by a chambermaid on September 21, 1986 at 12:30 pm in room 320 of the motel.
