On November 7, 2008, Craig Stephen Frentzel was the victim of a violent assault in St. Louis, Missouri. The incident occurred near the Neptune Apartment Complex, specifically in the vicinity of a dumpster located at 2140 Hampton Avenue. Following the attack, Frentzel was left at the scene with severe injuries. He survived the initial assault and was transported for medical treatment, where he fought for his life for nearly three weeks.
Despite medical intervention, Frentzel succumbed to his injuries on November 27, 2008. His death was ruled a homicide, prompting an investigation by local authorities. He was the son of Linda Irene Frentzel and Robert Henry Frentzel and the brother of Eric Henry Frentzel. Family and friends remembered him for his helpful nature and shared memories of his life during services held at Peace Lutheran Church in St. Louis.
The investigation into Frentzel's murder led to the distribution of a flyer by the St. Louis Regional CrimeStoppers, seeking information from the public. Authorities offered a reward for tips leading to the felony arrest of the person or persons responsible. The flyer indicated that the case relied on community assistance to locate the suspect urging anyone with knowledge of the assault to come forward anonymously. As of the available public information surrounding the appeal for leads, no arrests or specific suspects had been publicly named in connection with his death, and the case appeared to remain active in the search for those responsible.
