On January 22, 1979 Robert Reiding arrived home from work and discovered the body of his wife, Debra, an 18-year-old female. He found her in bed, under the covers, with a pillow over her head. Since there was not a phone in their apartment, Robert went to a pay phone nearby and called the police.
Robert and Debra were newlyweds and had just recently moved to Austin from Montana. At the time of her murder, the Montana Mining Restaurant (steakhouse) employed Debra.
