MAJOR CASE SQUAD INVESTIGATING CREVE COEUR HOMICIDE
This morning, at approximately 11:45am, the Creve Coeur Police Department requested the activation of Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis to assist in a homicide investigation.
At 11:11am this morning, the Creve Coeur Police Department responded an apartment in the 700 Block of Wiggons Ferry Drive, for a burglary report. Upon the officers’ arrival, they located a female victim, deceased, inside. The cause of death is yet to be determined but, due to the circumstances, is considered to be suspicious in nature. Officers immediately secured the scene and notified Creve Coeur PD Detectives, who shortly thereafter requested the assistance of the Major Case Squad. The identity of the victim is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Captain Mike Thompson, of the Chesterfield Police Department, is the Deputy Commander assigned to this investigation. He will be assisted by over a dozen investigators working with Creve Coeur PD Detectives on this case.
Anyone with information relative to this case who wants to remain anonymous and be eligible for a CrimeStoppers reward of up to $5,000 is asked to call 1-866-371-TIPS (8477). Information may also be provided by calling the Creve Coeur Police Department at 314-737-4600.
