Reward increased to find killer
Information sought on slaying of couple last year
An increased reward of $20,000 is being offered for information in the killing of an elderly couple during an apparent robbery last year at their northeast Harris County home.
Don and Reda Rentz were found dead March 7, 2015, in their home in the 6700 block of Pacific Crest Court in the Kings River Village Subdivision, according to the Harris County Sheriff ’s Office.
Deputies said the couple had last been seen alive Feb. 26, 2015. Concerned about their welfare, a neighbor went to the Rentz home and found them dead. They had blunt-force trauma, and robbery appears to have been the motive in the case.
Deputies said the Rentzes were native Houstonians who had been married nearly 60 years. They lived in the subdivision for 13 years. A Navy veteran, Don Rentz was a retired stock broker. Reda Rentz was an active member of Second Baptist Church and a volunteer at the Mission Northeast, where she helped the less fortunate.
