Description

Al Kite lived a quiet life in suburban Denver until he rented a room to a man who called himself Robert Cooper. He seemed polite, professional, and trustworthy. Days later, Al was found tortured and murdered.

The killer didn’t just flee. He showered, changed into Al’s clothes, and used his ATM card in a ski mask. Every detail of his life was fake. His name, his job, his phone number, all fabricated.

Police recovered DNA but found no match. To this day, Robert Cooper’s real identity remains unknown. Was this his first kill, or part of a chilling pattern that has yet to be uncovered?
