Otto Meyer, 86, was found stabbed to death Friday in his home near Murdock and Hillside. An acquaintance found Meyer dead in the 800 block of North Chautauqua at about 4:30 p.m. Friday and called 911.

Meyer was stabbed multiple times, said Sgt. Nikki Woodrow of the Wichita Police Department. Police on Saturday located a stolen pickup truck related to the case.
