Here is another report about the recent program about this case. My opinion is this theory is absurd and a joke. That is just my opinion though. I hope Al Kite and his loved ones get justice and if this helps with that this of course would be a good thing:
Was Colorado Murder Victim Killed By Man Linked To Turkish Hezbollah?
Here is part of the above report:
As Sobieski mentioned, the binding method exposed the bottoms of Kite’s feet — which were covered in wounds and bruises — to his attacker. While Holes had never seen this type of torture in any previous cases, Quinn explained there is a form of foot-beating called falaka that is common in Turkey.
“It’s a way to extract information, and also, it’s basically a beating to maintain compliance,” Quinn said.
Falaka is typically performed with a cane or switch, and in the bleach-filled sink at Kite’s house, the offender also placed a honing rod, which is often made of steel and used to realign the blades of knives.
“[The honing rod] would be very comparable to the instruments they used when they carried out the falaka,” Quinn told Holes.
