MAPLEWOOD, Minn. — It's been nearly two months since 56-year-old Mark Koepke was hit by a car and killed while walking near his home in Maplewood. Still without answers as to who was responsible for Mark's death, his family is now fundraising to increase the reward for information leading to an arrest. Crime Stoppers MN is offering a $1,000 reward, which is being matched by the family. The Vulcan Communities Charities matched that amount to bring the total to $4,000. Darice Koepke, Mark Koepke's ex-wife and close friend, said the family hopes to raise another $6,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to bring the reward total to $10,000.
