Eric Stampfli, 35, was found dead at a residence on South Annie Baxter Avenue in Joplin, Missouri, on October 31, 2022. He and Stacy Rush, also 35 and a childhood friend with whom he had played on their church worship team, were discovered after police responded to a report of two unresponsive people. Both were pronounced dead at the scene and authorities described the case as a double homicide.

A juvenile was in the home during the incident but was unharmed and not involved. Investigators identified Stacy’s estranged husband, David L. Rush, as the main suspect; he was involved in a later standoff with law enforcement in nearby Seneca, Missouri, and died during that confrontation. With the death of the person identified as the primary suspect, no further arrests were announced and the investigation was closed.

Eric is remembered for his creativity, recent rededication to his faith, and his love for his two sons. Does anyone have information about Eric, Stacy, or the events of that night that could add clarity to what happened?
