Reed Christensen, 67, was found dead in the upstairs hallway of his North Salt Lake home on Vista Way on the morning of July 5, 2018. His wife, Cynthia Lauren Knight-Christensen, reported returning home to find him in a pool of blood; an autopsy determined he died of a single gunshot wound to the head and his death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators initially focused on Cynthia after they found inconsistencies in her account of the night before and forensic evidence that contradicted her statements. Witnesses told police she had expressed a desire for her husband to be dead, offered money for it, acquired a handgun, and in some accounts confessed to shooting him. Cynthia was arrested in November 2019 on aggravated murder and obstruction of justice; the murder charge was later dropped and she pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and was sentenced to prison.

At a parole hearing Cynthia identified three other people she said were responsible, describing them as her drug dealer and two associates who came to the house seeking money. Police say they investigated those individuals and do not believe they were involved. No one has been held responsible for Reed Christensen’s murder. Does anyone have information about Reed, Cynthia, or the people Cynthia named that could help solve this case?
