Terry L. Bakker, 25, was shot and later died after an early-morning confrontation at his Salt Lake City home on April 14, 1986. Just before 7:30 a.m., noises at the front door of 2049 E. Atkin Ave. woke Bakker. When he partially opened the door an unknown person forced it open; that person fled across the front lawn, and Bakker briefly pursued him. Returning to the house, others found Bakker collapsed near the front porch with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

Witnesses described the man Bakker chased as a white male in his early 20s, about 5 feet 10 inches and 160 pounds, with short curly dark brown or black hair and possibly wearing a red stocking cap. The suspect was seen getting into a light blue compact car that was waiting nearby. No arrests have been made and the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake lists the case as a cold case homicide.

Did anyone in the Salt Lake City area see a light blue compact car or a man matching that description near Atkin Avenue on the morning of April 14, 1986?
