Mother of four vanishes in Venice, husband desperate for answers​

Christian Rieker has been in a panic since last Wednesday when he woke up and his wife, Tracey, was missing from their Venice home.

It was 6 a.m. and Tracey had left her wallet and cell phone at home, but her car was gone. There was no note, and no one has seen her since.

Christian made a public plea to 8 On Your Side as he continues to search for her.

“Tracey, honey, we need you, we love you. You’re so missed. Wherever you are, I pray you’re safe, wherever you are, we just want you back,” Rieker said.

The family of Tracey is desperate for answers, hoping someone has seen her or talked to her in the days since her disappearance.

Christian has been searching non-stop for his wife, worried sick.

“We are concerned about what mindset she’s in. She didn’t get a whole lot of sleep a couple of days prior to that. She wasn’t eating a whole lot,” Rieker told 8 On Your Side.

The question remains, what happened to this wife and mother-of-four?

Chief: Rieker death inquiry still early​

Investigators have spent hours talking with the family of Tracey Lynn Rieker after her body was found a week ago.

Her husband, Christian Rieker, said Friday that police had spent “significant time with me in my home” during the time she was missing and in the week since her body was found submerged in a car in a nearby lake.

He reiterated what authorities had said: The investigation is going to take time.

“Most of the information is going to take weeks or a few months,” Christian Rieker said. “They did a search of the vehicle. They didn’t find anything that looked like foul play or anything like that.”


Venice Police Chief Tom Mattmuller said Thursday the city’s Traffic Homicide investigation team is looking at aspects of the death, denoting the term “traffic homicide” does not mean anything criminal took place. It is the team that investigates any death or serious injury involving a vehicle.


They will be able to determine how fast the Nissan Xterra was traveling when it hit the water and determine how it ended up in the final location.

He gave few other details.

“The doors were closed and locked,” Mattmuller said.

He noted the vehicle was “far enough and deep enough away to not be seen from the air” but wouldn’t say how far from the edge of the lake or deep in the water it was.


His team will also have to wait for District 12 Medical Examiner’s Office for its autopsy results. It’s awaiting toxicology results which could take up to eight weeks because of the condition of the body.

“The fact is we are interested in doing very comprehensive testing and the decomposition means it will take a longer time rather than a shorter amount of time (to complete),” Medical Examiner Russell Vega said Tuesday.

And that’s where the inquiry is at this point.

“There’s nothing that’s giving us any indication other than it was a person who drove into the water,” Mattmuller said.

Family and friends previously noted Tracey Rieker had been involved in extended fast and prayer in late September and wonder if it may have played a part in her mental health.

“I don’t believe she thought she was driving into a lake,” Christian Rieker said Tuesday.

I sure wish they would make things clear. First it's a pond, now it is a lake. I myself picture two very different things with those terms. Perhaps I am just irritated as I have been looking at the little out there about Stephanie Hollingsworth, the other pond death and one thing says a drone noticed the vehicle and another said it was a fisherman.

many subdivisions have water retention ponds, but many of them are called lakes. Probably because it sounds better?

These deaths don't sit right with me. The one in bodies of water in Florida and still the one in the shipping container too. It's not that the women could not have done such, it's just that it is so hard to be sure or know that for a fact I think....
