CyberLaw said:Well the suicide for hire theory is knocking around, but I read an article that states that is has all of the hall marks of a revenge killing.
The stabbing part is painful and not the method used by contract killers, it would be a method of control, to gain information, to inflict pain.
But the interesting thing is that he was shot also.
He has defrauded so many people of money, that the suspect pool is huge.

Hmmmm...Sounds plausible. I don't think that Kissell set up his own suicide. From the little that I know about him, he doesn't seem like the type.Lacy Wood said:The movers arrive and Kissel refuses to leave. Kissel and his wife have big fight in front of the movers, the wife extremely mad of course. The movers are furious, with their schedule disrupted. Wife aside tells movers how Kissell's going to jail and they (she and kids) would be better off if the louse was dead. Mover commiserates. Bonding occurs. Light bulbs glow. Next morning movers return to locked gate. Movers call wife and either get key code, or maybe they already had it and say mission accomplished. Movers find body. Everyone except Kissell is very happy.
Apparently the man was widely despised. Even by his own blood, judging by some things said about him by close family members. I believe his own father said something to the effect: "My son ripped off a lot of people."kato said:Kissell's estranged wife did not attend his funeral because his family did not want her to and so neither did his two kids. 8 and 4 I think.
