Forensic Tales- The Murder of Oakey "Al" Kite

Not all stories have happy endings...

Hosted by Courtney Fretwell. M.S. in Forensic Psychology, Forensic Tales is a weekly true crime podcast with a forensic twist. Each episode features real cases and explores how forensic science, criminal profiling, and investigative techniques were used to uncover the truth- or, in some case, left more questions than answers.

#335 - When 53-year-old Oakey Kite, who went by Al, failed to show up for work on May 24th, 2004, his coworkers immediately knew something was wrong. Concerned, they went to his townhouse in Aurora to check on him where they discovered a crime scene so brutal, investigators would never forget it.

Al had been restrained, tortured for hours, and ultimately murdered inside his own home by a man posing as a prospective tenant.

The killer meticulously cleaned the scene, erased much of the evidence, and vanished without a trace leaving behind only fragments of forensic evidence and a fake identity that would send investigators across multiple countries.

More than two decades later, the murder of Al Kite remains one of Colorado’s most disturbing unsolved cases.
