Sylvia Frens Death Details
Frens Missing In 2018, Found Dead In 2022. “Authorities in Colorado announced that a Grand Junction woman who was missing for the past four years has been found dead at her former home. Sylvia Frens went missing in May 2018 and her daughter contacted authorities. Initially, according to KKCO, authorities smelled a foul odor coming from the bedroom as well as a brown stain that was apparent on the floor. It was tested, but was determined not to have been blood. After a month, Richard Vandervelde, the son of Frens, allegedly lied to Missouri authorities when he was pulled over on June 5, 2018, and officials from the Grand Junction Police Department went to question him about the disappearance of his mother.” [Fox]

Vandervelde is charged with first-degree murder, tampering with a deceased human body, crimes against at-risk adult, fraud-identity theft, theft of $5,000-$20,000, motor vehicle theft, and abuse of a corpse. Vandervelde was extradited back to Colorado and is being held on a $1 million bond at the Mesa County Detention Facility. He is due in court June 21.” [WSFA]
