Who knew that a discarded rental application and a burner phone could hold the key to a gruesome murder investigation? Join Elaine, Amber and I as we pull back the curtain on the chilling case of Oakey "Al" Kite's murder in 2004. A riveting tale of a man's life and work, a move to Aurora, Colorado, and a gruesome murder that would leave even seasoned crime buffs restless. The details we reveal are not for the faint-hearted, as we recount the horrifying discovery of Al, who was tortured in the most unimaginable way.

Who brutally killed Al Kite, a kind man who had no known enemies, in his own home? Could this horrific crime, steeped in premeditation and precision, hint at the work of a serial killer? We'll take a look at the clues in this case and try to make sense of its most obvious question: Why?
