Piccolo-Labbs, 23, William C. Ellifritz, 26, and Brooke L. Forquer, 21, all from Craig, were arrested on one count each of first-degree murder and booked into the Routt County Jail around 11:40 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Routt County Sheriff Garrett Wiggins said the three individuals were arrested without incident. Because the case is still under investigation, Wiggins said he was not able to share more detailed information about Stahl\u2019s death or the motive behind it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, we got the information we needed to make the arrest, and we are pretty confident all three were participants in it (Stahl\u2019s murder),\u201d Wiggins said. \u201cWe\u2019re in the process of processing evidence and acquiring search warrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pathologist has not released his report, so it\u2019s premature to release manner of death at this point,\u201d Wiggins added.<\/p>\n<p>Stahl\u2019s body was discovered Monday, Oct. 14, by a fishermen in the Routt County National Forest off of Forest Service Road 900, which is the road that leads to Stillwater Reservoir in the Flat Tops. There was a substantial amount of blood found on Stahl\u2019s body and clothing.<\/p>\n<p>The Routt County Sheriff\u2019s Office ruled Stahl\u2019s death a homicide on Thursday, Oct. 17.<\/p>\n<p>Stahl was last seen alive at a gas station in Craig at around 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12,<\/p>\n<p>Wiggins said Saturday night\u2019s arrests were the result of several law enforcement agencies working together around the clock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was about turning over every rock and following every lead we had, and things just started to come together,\u201d Wiggins said. \u201cThis is the result of very good, thorough police work. We had a lot of help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sheriff\u2019s Office had assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, the Steamboat Springs Police Department, the Moffat County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the Craig Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>The three suspects were arrested in Craig, transported to the Moffat County Safety Center and then taken to the Routt County Jail. They are being held without bond.<\/p>\n<p>Wiggins was not able to offer much information about Piccolo-Labbs, Ellifritz and Forquer. He did say that Ellifritz had been \u201cin and out of jail quite a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point, we don\u2019t expect additional arrests,\u201d Wiggins said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/3-people-arrested-in-death-of-26-year-old-steamboat-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STEAMBOAT SPRINGS \u2014 Law enforcement officials have arrested three people in connection with the death of 26-year-old Elliot Stahl of Steamboat Springs.
