The Murder Diaries

On May 24th, 2004, Oakey “Al” Kite missed work without notifying anyone at the office—something he’d never done before. Known as “Al” by everyone he knew, he was punctual to a fault. When co-workers and police went to his Aurora, Colorado, townhome to check in on him, what they found was like something out of a horror movie. Al had been brutally beaten and tortured, and the killer had nearly decapitated him with one final, fatal slash of his throat. Was this some random thrill kill, or was this crime tied to something more calculated and sinister? More importantly, who would want to do this to a person as friendly and well-liked as Al Kite? If you or someone you know have information about Al’s case, call the Metropolitan Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867, or your local FBI office. There is a $2,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of Al Kite’s killer.

In July of 2017, 24-year-old Brianna Vibert, a bright, bubbly, mother of four, left a gas station on foot around 3AM in the town of Flint, Michigan. She hasn’t been seen since. There have been no confirmed sightings or solid leads indicating what might have happened to Brianna after she walked out of view of surveillance cameras. Investigators are left with footage from a Mobil gas station showing the young woman stumbling around the store, looking panicked, frightened, and bleeding from her arm. Brianna’s family has remained confident in their belief that she wouldn’t have left on her own, and especially wouldn’t leave her four children behind without a mother and without answers. Brianna Vibert remains missing and is currently classified as endangered missing. At the time of her disappearance, she was 24 years old, at a height of 5’9 and weighing 120 pounds. At the time of this airing, Brianna would be about 33 years old. She was last seen leaving the Mobil gas station on foot on South Saginaw Street in Flint, Michigan. She was wearing a plain, cream-colored shirt with three quarter length sleeves and a scoop neck, a light blue camisole, black leggings, and flip flops. Brianna has brown eyes and natural brown hair, but it was dyed red at the time of her disappearance. Brianna has several tattoos, including the word ‘family’ on the upper right side of her back surrounded by the words ‘strength, pride, loyalty, honor, love’, a Mad Hatter on the front of her right shoulder, the name ‘Savannah’ on one wrist, ‘Maddox’ on the other wrist, and a skeleton key on her right foot. Her ears and nose are pierced. If you have any information about the disappearance or current whereabouts of Brianna Jayde Vibert, or any of the women mentioned in this episode, no matter how insignificant it might seem, please contact the Flint Township Police Department at 810-600-3250.
