Patricia Magers was 32 and owned La Bride d’Elegance, a bridal shop at 4613 E. Kellogg in Wichita. On April 11, 1992, she and a 23-year-old employee, Patricia Smith, kept the shop open late to meet a customer. A man entered and was apparently admitted; he led both women into a back office and shot them execution-style in the back of the head with a .22-caliber semi-automatic firearm. A later-arriving customer encountered the killer in the shop and escaped; he reported what he saw and police found Magers dead and Smith mortally wounded.

Cash was taken from the register, but robbery did not appear to be the primary motive. Investigators linked these murders to a string of similar killings that spring across several Midwestern states; the unidentified offender became known as the I-70 Killer. Witnesses described a white male about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, slender, with reddish or sandy-blonde hair, and a composite sketch was prepared. No arrests have been made; the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone who knew Patricia Magers or worked near E. Kellogg that spring remember anything unusual the night of April 11, 1992?
