Elderly couple found dead at Atascocita home
Published March 7, 2015, Updated March 8, 2015

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -
The Harris County Sheriff's Office is investigating after two people were found dead inside their home in the Atascocita area Saturday.

Officials said Don Rentz, 83, and Reba Rentz, 80, were last seen alive on the afternoon of Feb. 26. Investigators call their brutal beating deaths "extremely traumatic."

Officials said a neighbor checked on the couple at their home in the 6700 block of Pacific Crest Court in the King River Village neighborhood after a request from their children, who live out of town.

Neighbors contacted the Harris County Sheriff's Office after knocking on the door and receiving no response. Witnesses also told authorities that the back door was open.

Authorities said they found two bodies in the house that had suffered traumatic injuries.

Investigators are looking at robbery as a possible motive because they found the couple's belongings strewn about the house.
