Last weekend’s murder of an Arizona rancher has outraged people across the country, and is bringing attention to the war zone-like conditions which those in the American southwest have lived under for several years.

Authorities now admit that Robert Krentz, 58, was likely shot to death by an illegal alien.

His body was found on Saturday night, on his 35,000-acre ranch about 35 miles northeast of Douglas. His murderer also killed Krentz’s dog.

The ranch which has been in the Krentz family since 1907, is located in a known smuggling corridor, used by Mexican drug cartels.

Shortly after the murder was discovered, U.S. Border Patrol agents, sheriff’s deputies and Department of Corrections dog chase teams followed a single set of foot tracks for 20 miles, to the Mexican border.

Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever told reporters: “We are assuming he escaped south into Mexico.â€
