The State Medical Examiner’s office has ruled the death of a man found in a Fairbanks residence a homicide, according to an online Alaska State Trooper dispatch.
Ronald McKnight, 57, was found dead in a Roland Road residence at 1:41 p.m. on Dec. 10, according to troopers. His body was then transported to the ME’s office in Anchorage for an autopsy.
Troopers are asking for the public’s help in locating McKnight’s 1992 green Ford truck — license plate number JAX474 — which was stolen from his residence after his death, according to the dispatch.
“The truck is described as having a utility bed with a red truck topper,” troopers wrote. “It has a three inch thick white stripe down the side. It also has numerous small rust spots in various places around the body and bed.”
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the truck is asked to call the Fairbanks trooper post at 907-451-5100.
