MURDERED: Oakey "Al" Kite
3d ago00:31:29Tap to summarizeOn 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.

1w ago00:43:02Tap to summarizeOn the evening of August 7th, 2007, 44-year-old West Australian Supreme Court Registrar Corryn Rayney left her boot scooting class to head home. She was meeting her husband to discuss terms of their separation and custody of their two daughters. Devastatingly, Corryn was murdered that night, her body buried upside down in a grave in nearby Kings Park. Police named only one suspect: her husband, prominent barrister Lloyd Rayney. Five years after Corryn’s body was recovered, Lloyd went to trial for her murder. He was found not guilty, but that didn’t change her family’s firm belief that he was involved. They continue to fight for justice for Corryn.

Transcribe →MISSING: Relisha Rudd
2w ago00:38:08Tap to summarizeFrom the very moment she was born, Relisha Rudd had everything going against her. A product of generational poverty, Relisha had been through more hardship at the young age of eight years old than most adults experience in a lifetime. At the time of her disappearance, she and her mother and her three brothers were living in one of Washington D.C.’s worst shelters. And then Relisha would meet a man; a friendly janitor who would buy her gifts and take her shopping and give her more attention than anyone else in her life. After that, Relisha vanished into thin air. What happened to her? Did her family fail her? Did she slip through the cracks made by a system that to this day still abdicates itself of responsibility for what happened to Relisha Rudd? If you have information regarding the disappearance of Relisha Rudd, contact the Washington Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) at (202) 727-9099. You can also contact their Youth Investigations Division at (202) 576-6768. You can contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).

Transcribe →MURDERED: Tara Calico
3w ago00:28:44Tap to summarizeIn 1988, on a beautiful day in Belen, New Mexico, a 19-year-old woman got ready to do one of her favorite things: her daily bike ride. She put on a white t-shirt with the local bank’s logo on it, white shorts with green stripes, and white sneakers. She grabbed her bright yellow Walkman with a Boston cassette tape. Before leaving home on a neon pink mountain bike, she told her mom, “Come and get me if I’m not back by noon.” It was the same route she took everyday. At some point, the route she knew by heart - took a terribly wrong turn. The punctual college student did not make it back by noon. No one could predict that this daily exercise routine that brought her so much joy would haunt her name and her family for the rest of their lives. It’s now been 35 years since that fateful bike ride and the mystery of what happened to her has never been answered. Her name is Tara Calico. This is her story. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI or the sheriff’s office at 505-866-2400.
