Robert Krentz

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert N. Krentz Jr. (1951 - March 27, 2010) was a prominent rancher in the U.S. state of Arizona. Active in a family cattle ranching business stretching back nearly 100 years, he and his family ranch were inducted into the Arizona Farming and Ranching Hall of Fame in 2008. Krentz was featured several times during the 1990s and 2000s in media reports regarding the problems surrounding illegal immigration across the Arizona stretch of the United States - Mexico border, particularly regarding its impact on ranching. On March 27, 2010, Krentz was found shot dead on his Cochise County ranch property after reporting seeing an immigrant in need of help. In the immediate aftermath, local authorities said evidence indicated that the assailant was most likely an illegal immigrant, though subsequent investigation suggested the killing was not random and that drug smugglers may have been responsible.
