Cold case mystery: can you help solve the case of Ernest Meyn?

Ernest Meyn was killed in an accident in Northern B.C. seven years ago when he was transporting a heavy load from Edmonton to Fort St John, and now Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help to identify the person responsible for his death.

The 69-year-old pulled over at the South Taylor Hill brake check to perform a safety inspection. When he was out of his vehicle clearing off snow on a cold March day,  another commercial vehicle drove up, and according to witnesses crushed Meyn against his own trailer. The 17-tonne vehicle moved four feet at impact.

The suspect’s vehicle fled the scene and continued north bound on the Alaska highway.
