On February 15, 1979, Henry Crabtree, the night manager at a Circle K convenience store on Culebra Road in San Antonio, Texas, was found stabbed to death during the early morning while working. The cash register had been tipped over and money was missing, and investigators treated robbery as a possible motive. Some physical evidence was recovered at the scene, but no suspect has ever been identified or apprehended.

The case has remained unsolved and is considered one of San Antonio’s longstanding cold cases. Investigators and the community have said a lack of leads and witnesses willing to come forward has hindered progress; the San Antonio Police Department has periodically reviewed the file and requested public assistance. If anyone has information about Henry Crabtree’s murder or the events at the Circle K that night, please share what is known with the authorities.
