Dallas police Officer Bryan Riser, who was arrested on two capital murder charges last week, patrolled the streets of Dallas for several years even as authorities were looking into him and his father, Byron “Blue” Riser, in connection with one of the killings in 2017, records obtained by The Dallas Morning News show.
Thirty-year-old Liza Saenz was murdered in March 2017, and her body was dumped in the Trinity River. Three men were arrested in the case. One of them told investigators in August 2019 that DPD officer Riser had ordered the killings, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. Since his March 4 arrest, Riser has been held at the Dallas County jail. His bail was set at $5 million
