Robert H. Meireis, 36, was found shot to death alongside 34-year-old Elizabeth K. Tonsmeire inside her condominium at the Admiralty Condos on Douglas Island, Alaska. Their bodies were discovered after Tonsmeire’s father checked on her, and Juneau police confirmed both deaths were homicides by gunshot. The condo faces the Douglas Highway; investigators processed the scene and asked the public for information while notifying next of kin.

Background reporting noted Meireis had been out on bail awaiting a January court date on separate charges and had prior convictions and a history of violence and imprisonment, details that complicated the picture but did not solve the killings. A grand jury later indicted Laron Carlton Graham on two counts of first-degree murder; prosecutors linked the dispute to heroin and an alleged confrontation, while the defense pointed to a lack of forensic evidence or a murder weapon. The indictment led to a 2019 trial and on October 8, 2019, a jury acquitted Graham, leaving the double homicide unresolved.

Did anyone in Douglas Island or Juneau have information about Meireis, Tonsmeire, or what happened that night?
