In the summer of 2013, a grim discovery was made in a Denver neighborhood. Forty-two-year-old Joseph Strock, a White male, was found deceased in the front yard of a residence at 4864 Fraser Way on July 26, 2013. The nature of his death was determined to be a homicide, launching an investigation by the Denver Police Department. At the time of his death, the case was assigned agency number 2013-349522.
Joseph Eloy Strock Jr., as he was also known, was born on November 7, 1970, in Denver,
Colorado. He was a veteran, having served with honor in the United States Army from 1989 until his honorable discharge in 1992. Following his military service, he pursued an education in fine arts in Denver. He was a father to a son and a daughter. At the time of his passing, he was employed as part of the distribution team for Door Hangers Direct.
Despite the passing of years, the homicide of Joseph Strock remains an open and unsolved case. The Denver Police Department has not publicly identified any suspects, and no arrests have been made in connection with his death. The case is now considered a cold case, and authorities continue to ask for anyone with information to come forward. His death, a sudden and violent end to a life that included military service and a love for his family, left a void in the lives of those who knew him.
