MILLCREEK, Utah ( ABC4 ) — It has been 10 years since the murder of former Salt Lake Police Officer Kevin Meik , and loved ones say they are no closer to learning who killed him.
On January 29, 2014, Meik was found shot and killed in his Sandy home after friends and loved ones were unable to get ahold of him.

“The people that he was meeting for lunch and then going down to Provo, I believe it was, had not had him show up,” said Laura Beckstead, Meik’s good friend and former coworker. “That was very unusual. Kevin was nothing more than very precise with his meetings and to show up without a phone call was unusual.”
After a friend of his made a welfare check at his home, Meik was said to be found unresponsive, on the ground in a bedroom downstairs.
Beckstead’s husband, John, was the one who found him.
“The dog was in our truck and he came up and said, ‘He’s gone and it looks bad.’”
Since that day, both family and friends of Meik have been on a mission to find his killer.
