Synopsis
• No further info was found about this murder. It is unclear if he was still living in Texas at the time, or had recently moved to Oklahoma.
• It is also unknown whether this death was actually a homicide or not. Due to the scarcity of the info and no record in the cold case database,
it is also possible this was later ruled suicide or some other means.
• Most Tulsa detectives are good on making sure no cases go overlooked and an update is usually always found. But there was only 1 initial
news article found in Riedel's death, and nothing further reported. The most I could confirm about Riedel is just that he is a real person from
Humble Texas who passed away September 3, 1983. I could find no specific gravestones, memorials, or info about family.
