Wife of Murdered Rancher Robert Krentz Hit by Drunk Driver
By James King, Mon., Sep. 27 2010 @ 10:13AM


​Our hearts, once again, go out to Sue Krentz, the widow of murdered rancher Robert Krentz.

Krentz was hit by an alleged drunk driver as she and a friend were walking outside of their church on Saturday night.

Police in Douglas say Krentz and a friend, Shirley Gregory, were walking outside of their church at about 6 p.m. Saturday, when they were hit by 66-year-old Ramon Saucedo.

Saucedo, police say, was drunk.

Krentz is reportedly in pretty bad shape.


From the Arizona Republic:

    Bill Snure, Sue Krentz's neighbor and a family friend, said she has a lacerated spleen, internal bleeding, broken ribs, broken leg, fractured pelvis, head trauma, and facial fractures.

    "She's in pretty bad shape," he said.

    Snure, who visited Krentz in a Tucson hospital on Sunday, described the event as horrific and said she was in and out of consciousness.

    Snure said the timing of the event - only six months after Robert's death - shocked him. Snure also lost his father, Robert's best friend, in June when he died in a helicopter crash.

    "It's just been a chain of tragedies," he said. "It's a lot for everybody to deal with."

Krentz was the subject of a New Times feature earlier this year called Cowboy Down. Check it out here.

Saucedo was arrested on charges of suspicion of DUI, endangerment, and aggravated assault.

Police are investigating the incident and say if Krentz or Gregory dies Saucedo could be charged with second-degree murder.

Wife will be headed up to Tucson in the morning to visit her.  Last we heard is that she will recover but it will be a long hard fight.  We are trying to find out if the driver was an illegal.  Normaly when a crime is committed by an illegal the liberal press never mentions it.  Douglas sits right on the border about an hours drive from our place and is over 95% hispanic.  A lot of the drug tunnels terminate in warehouses and/or garages in Douglas.

During our border excursion/hunt last week on of the BP guys told us that it was in fact an illegal that hit her.  Not a word in the local paper that he was illegal...

I knew it!  By the fact that the media didn't say he was NOT an illegal, just telegraphs that he indeed WAS!  And what's the worst that POS will get? A free bus ride to the border?
