We talked about the cheating and that's when he basically said, yeah, I did. We talked about the real estate. He said that really wasn't a problem, which was kind of confusing because when you're getting conflicting statements from people, her friends were saying that it was a problem, you know.
And then we got to the fact of, towards the end, because he was getting a little antsy in regards to Richard Engel. And do you know this person? Do you know that name? And he said, no. Show him the picture. No, I don't know him at all.
The third caller, a male who identified himself as a corrections officer, stated, looks like he's got a bullet hole to his chest. He moved his head for a second. His car is running. The door is open. He's on the ground. Looks like he might have gotten into an altercation and got shot.
The sergeant asked the male, who did this? He asked again, who shot you? The male did not answer. The male's jaw quivered as if he was trying to speak, but he was unable to do so.
So based on the positioning of the vehicle, it was parked at an angle, so not totally within one parking spot. And the door was open, engine running, headlights on. So it seemed like he either pulled in quickly or needed to exit his vehicle fairly quickly.
He had at least a second to try to defend himself, you know, by no DNA on that other than Kyle's. So that never got used. Basically, Kyle was never close enough to the person who shot him that he was able to use the knife on him.
So the most difficult part of the case is that there was no real evidence that we were able to get from anybody else. The only evidence we collected was from the victim, including his knife that was open near the rear tire of the car. Nothing was collected that would say that somebody else was there.
That's when the detectives and the investigator started asking her about use of drugs or anything like that. Kate said that Kyle occasionally smoked marijuana and formerly used coke when he was younger. She estimated that he smoked marijuana twice a week.
The first kind of motive we had came from a family member of Kyle's who just said, you know, a gut feeling. I think maybe someone cut him off or he cut someone else off. And it was like a road rage incident that occurred. And that kind of goes along with the way the cars parked.
You would barely be able to see anything in that parking lot. You can barely make out the family bowl because you have the lights on the businesses that are on Route 1 that kind of drown out the background and make it seem even darker to the eye. So you're not seeing anything back there.
Well, we had theories that because he had just gotten a bonus from the Christmas party that maybe he was going out to buy some harder drugs than marijuana just to celebrate if he was into that kind of thing. Again, they're just trying to go through Kyle's life and find anything that can give us a reason why he was there and if he was going to meet someone or not.
Kyle said that he was going to buy a .45 caliber pistol. And that's what started leading us down that road. Was he meeting someone to buy a gun? And then the deal just went bad.
They tried to get a search warrant for a cell tower dump. So they just wanted to get everybody's phone that was in the area that night and start picking through it. But the court denied it, wouldn't allow it.
Someone had come forward after seeing the picture and saying that a man that will identify as Mike was playing cards and said, that is my work, as if to say he's the one who killed Kyle Seidel. Then we started looking into him. There was no clear alibi for him that night.
We heard that there was some arguments made by another person that we'll call Ron saying that Mike didn't do it, I did it. So we started looking at both of those people and we saw that there is a connection between those two people outside of prison. They were known to hang out together.
Mike and Ron both have extensive criminal histories. Mike's was mostly narcotics-related, sale counts, things of that nature. And Ron has a more violent criminal history, also has drug offenses, but shootings and things of that nature.
We had a family member of Mike's come forward and say that Mike admitted it to him that he had killed Kyle Seidel and that he had come over to a house that night and was acting very nervous and said he had to get out of town and went into a neighboring town later that night.
We had a task force officer try to build a narcotics case on him to get him locked up in hopes that if he was in prison, maybe other witnesses would come forward. They would feel safe knowing that he was already locked up and he wouldn't be able to serve any kind of retribution on him. So that didn't work out. Mike got arrested on a narcotics charge in late 2015, and that's when we talked to him.
He just cried a lot, but said nothing about the homicide, just denied any ever being at the bowling alley, denied knowing Kyle, denied ever being involved in any kind of violence. He basically just denied and said he didn't know what we were talking about.
He basically came in the room, sat down. As soon as we started talking to him, he said, I'm all set, I don't want to talk, and left.
