According to WCHS, two individuals were charged individually for their roles in the death of a man in a motel room in Jefferson County.

Reportedly, Charles Wilbert Cook Jr. and Amanda Lynn Frey were charged with the death of a man who was last seen on May 25, 2021, and reported missing on May 30, 2021.

According to West Virginia State Police, Cook and Frey regularly attended Motel 6 on Jefferson Terrance Road in Charles Town. Reportedly, police think that Cook stabbed the victim during an argument in one of the motel rooms.

It is unknown where and when the victim's body was found, but Frey was found July 6 in Berkely County and charged with concealment of a deceased human body.

Days later, Cook was found in Berkley County and was charged with second-degree murder on July 19, 2021.

Legal Options for Stabbing Victims

Attorney Jesse Forbes is an experienced attorney with years of trial experience defending personal injury lawsuits. Bucci offers insight for those seeking advice from a stabbing attack lawyer.

"Stabbing victims can suffer from serious or fatal injuries. Along with physical injuries, many victims and their families suffer from psychological trauma resulting in anxiety and stress disorders. If you or a loved one have fallen victim to a stabbing attack, you have the ability to file a lawsuit."

"Filing a lawsuit against your attacker is within your legal rights. Suffering from serious or fatal injuries grants you the ability to fight for financial compensation in a court of law. A victim or the family of a victim can seek financial compensation for medical bills, physical pain, and emotional suffering. It is in your best interest for either you or your family to hire an experienced attorney to hold the guilty party accountable."
