Kyle Byrtus ////// 753 

Part 1 of 1 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com 
On August 15th, 2013 a body was discovered by an electrical worker in a developing area called Lehigh Acres.  Later it was learned that this was the body of 25 year old Kyle Byrtus.  The victim had been tied and killed.  The Lee County Sheriff’s Office just caught another homicide case.  Kyle’s case remains unsolved to this day.  The case appears to not have gone “cold” as detectives are still chasing a few leads.  There was a lot of criminal activity in this area at the time.  Some of this activity has provided information about Kyle’s case.  SWFL Crime Stoppers are on the case.  They are available 24/7 and there is a reward for information that leads to an arrest, the recovery or weapons, narcotics, stolen property or the capture of a wanted fugitive.  Crime Stoppers keeps you anonymous.  If you have helpful information about the murder of Kyle Byrtus or any Southwest Florida crime please call 800- 780- TIPS

Who Killed Jill Dando /// Part 2 /// 752 

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com 
This week we are sharing a case that rocked Britain.  It was a daytime murder of a major U.K. celebrity.  On April 26th, 1999 someone shot and killed TV presenter Jill Dando on the stoop of her home in London.  Jill was beloved by millions.  Her girl next door looks, Princess Di hair cut, and her charm took her to the heights of British broadcasting.  So who would want to harm the woman that so many adored?  That is the mystery that has riddled the Kensington police for over two decades now.  The Netflix doc-series “Who Killed Jill Dando?” came out in 2023 and has brought worldwide attention to this still unsolved murder case.

Florida Vampire /// Part 2 /// 750

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com 
In November of 1985 in Malabar, Florida authorities responded to a strange and disturbing call.  A young woman who had been abducted the day before somehow managed to escape from her captor’s home.  A motorist found the young woman on the side of the road.  He took her to his home for both her protection and to call first responders for help.  The woman described to detectives what the abductor had subjected her to over the last 22 hours.  An abduction case was rare but perhaps the most startling detail of the woman’s story was that the man who had offered her a ride and then tortured her in his home, also drank the woman’s blood.  The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office had a serious case on their hands and the community had a monster living among them.
