Robert N. Krentz Jr., 58, the scion of one of the best-known and oldest
ranching families here in southeast Arizona, was found shot to death March 27 on
his vast, remote ranch north of here after radioing to his brother that he was
aiding someone he believed to be an illegal immigrant.
Mr. Krentz went missing shortly after that call, and the police found his
body several hours later in his all-terrain vehicle, his guns untouched in the
back, his dog shot and critically wounded. Fresh footprints led from the scene
to the Mexican border 20 miles away.
Given Mr. Krentz’s radio transmission, the footprints and heavy drug and
illegal immigrant trafficking in that area, investigators are working on the
assumption that he encountered a smuggler, possibly heading back to Mexico.
