Rickie Kiger Story: Who Killed Morna Brennen?

Rickie Kiger killed Morna Brennen and pleaded guilty before going to trial.

He even said that he was “sorry and wished it never happened” in the way of a statement. Moreover, Kiger was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

After an evening to enjoy with her girlfriends at a local pub, Morna left to go home, and they had to walk to her girlfriend’s car located in an icy parking lot. Morna’s girlfriend was called away to speak with another friend.

More On Morna Brenan Murder Crime Scene

Morna Brennen’s throat had been cut before the body disposal. 

The cuts where Morna’s limbs and head had been removed were clean enough to suggest to investigators that it was done by a professional.

Forensic psychologist Frank Weber said it was a very aggressive and sadistic crime.

While waiting at the car, Brennen was approached by 28-year-old divorcee Rickie L. Kiger, a patron at the bar that evening.

Kiger sent Morna a drink in the bar and bothered her with advances. Morna avoided his advances telling him she was not interested and to leave her alone.

With the past sexual assaults, Rickie convinced Morna to wait in his car since it was so cold outside.

Morna accepted his request to sit in his car while waiting for her friend. Once in the car, Kiger abducted Morna taking her to his apartment, where he viciously attacked her before strangling her to death.

Who Is Rickie Kiger Wife? His Wikipedia Details Explored

Rickie Kiger wife details are nowhere to be found. He has had a divorce from her wife, and there is not much detail on her. However, he was 28 years old when this incident happened. 

Kiger had a prior sexual assault conviction resulting from an attack of a Rochester State Hospital mental patient on the hospital’s grounds.

Kiger cut a 25-year-old woman’s throat, choked her into unconsciousness, and raped her. 

Rickie was a ruthless murderer, and the police said that the most satisfying thing that happened in 31 years was taking the cold-blooded murderer off the street.

Kiger spent most of his sentence at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Stillwater before being declared dead in his cell on April 27, 2014.

The cause of the 56-year-old’s culprit is not publicly available, which could mean that it was natural.
