Breaking: A Dallas County grand jury declined to indict a Dallas homicide detective accused of tampering with a murder investigation into a fellow officer.
to determine whether enough evidence existed to take the Riser investigation to a grand jury. Dallas County Criminal Court Judge Audrey Moorehead decided there was not enough evidence and ordered Riser’s release from jail.
He wrote that cellphone data placed Riser in or around the area of the killings. But the data did not put Riser in that area when the killings occurred. Montenegro’s testimony also appeared to contradict information from a 2017 court hearing about how long Riser had been a suspect in the slaying of Saenz.
But Riser and his father, Byron “Blue” Riser, were also “subjects” of the investigation into her murder,on Sept. 22, 2017. That hearing focused on keeping Byron Riser detained in a drug case. Bryan Riser has maintained his innocence and plans to appeal his termination, according to his attorney. García and Creuzot have. It was not immediately clear Friday whether those investigations were still ongoing.
