Both Warren and Shenandoah counties had murder cases in court in 2020 that have been delayed by the pandemic.
At the start of the year, Front Royal residents Richard Crouch and George Good were charged in the murder of 20-year-old Warren County resident Tristen Brinklow.
Crouch and Good are accused of assaulting and tying up Brinklow in September 2019 and placing his body in a refrigerator, which was discovered on Dec. 2 at Digs Landing. They are charged with willfully defiling a body, concealing a dead body, abduction by force/intimidation and first-degree murder.
Good is also accused of shooting a man during an assault attempt in Front Royal in November 2019.
