  • On November 16th, 1981, 53-year-old Priscilla Dinkel and her 7-year-old granddaughter Danelle Lietz were murdered at The Swanson Motel in Dickinson, North Dakota. The case went cold until 1991, when local law enforcement utilized an FBI profile to identify the killer.

    Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the Swanson motel murders. The police followed leads down into Texas and even looked at Henry Lee Lucas as a possible suspect. Then, in 1991, authorities began looking at a 48-year-old named William Reager who fit the FBI profile. Reager was a drifter who worked as a truck driver and a carnival employee.
