Over 11 years after a man was killed in a Kelowna home, his family offers a reward for information about his death.

Joseph Gregory Pek, 38, was found dead on October 20, 2009 on the front steps of 454 Birch Avenue. Police picked up a cell phone, a lighter, and a bloody item of clothing from the scene.

Kelowna RCMP received a 911 call home just before 1:00 a.m. Officers found Pek’s body near the side of the house when they arrived

Pek’s death has been classified as murder and the investigation remains open.

“The Kelowna RCMP Major Crimes Unit continues to follow up any tips and advice in this investigation,” Kelowna RCMP Inspector Kent Lowe said in a press release. “We believe there are people who know what happened to Mr. Pek who haven’t spoken to us. His family deserves answers, and we ask that you contact us now. “

To protect the integrity of this investigation, RCMP added that the cause of death and more specific details are currently not being released.

Joseph’s family has asked anyone with information to come forward. The full explanation of his sister Paulina can be seen in the video above.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

Sherri Kipling, who was 21 at the time, was originally charged with Pek’s murder, but court records show the charges were dropped.
