About this episode

The episode discusses the unsolved murder of Oakey 'Al' Kite Jr. and the ongoing investigation into his death.

On May 24, 2004, co-workers of 53 year old Oakey Albert Kite Jr., who went by Al, drove to his house to check on him after he failed to show up to work - something he had never done before. Inside his Aurora, Colorado townhome, officers discovered a horrific scene. Al had been bound, tortured for hours, and killed in his own basement. The killer cleaned up, removed key evidence, and disappeared - leaving behind only a small amount of DNA and a trail that pointed to a man who wasn’t who he claimed to be. More than 20 years later, Al’s murder remains unsolved, and detectives are still working to identify the person responsible. Anyone with information in Al’s case is asked to call the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or your local FBI office. There is a $2,000 reward for information.
