Victoria Lynn Riggs (1953 – 1984) was the beloved first wife of Martin Riggs, whom she married at some point in 1973. She was killed in a car crash, in what appeared to look like an accident in 1984 by Pieter Vorstedt, which was in reality an attempted murder on Riggs himself, but had gone bad. Her death emotionally destroyed Riggs who struggled to recover from her loss. They were married for 11 years.
As time moved by, Riggs seemed to be turning from his suicidal thoughts, in knowing that Victoria would've wanted him to continue on living life, especially for her. Riggs would visit her grave and tell her, "Merry Christmas, Victoria Lynn. I love you."
