“The Sheriff’s Office has attempted to locate and speak with Kurrek about the death (of Tinsley), with no successful result,” Sheriff Rob Streck said in a media release Thursday.
No charges have been approved in the case against Kurrek. However he is listed as a missing juvenile and has an active warrant for his arrest for robbery where a gun was used, Streck said.
Kurrek is described as 5-feet 7-inches tall, 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
