Genetic genealogy offers the best hope for solving this case; hoping and praying they are hard at work tracking down this dangerous psychopath!!

Praying this case gets solved and justice for Oakey gets served! Made an account on the Forum just to bump this post, this is one of those cases that just sticks with you. Hoping 2025 is the year they put that animal behind bars!

Blood coagulates very quickly so RC would need a fresh blood sample always at the ready if his real intention was to hoodwink detectives by leaving a fake blood drop on the basement steps.

Is it possible he worked as a lab technician/nurse at the hospital in the area he most frequented where he could easily steal blood samples?

(my gut feeling is that the blood drop was from RC himself).

• ''While on Oxygen television show The DNA of Murder with Paul Holes, an Aurora police detective stated that it was believed the torture of Al Kite lasted for hours, also saying “some of the injuries were things I’d never seen before. Like a knife into above the eye, into the ears, down through the shoulders, just a crazy amount of torture.”

''The few witnesses who saw Cooper described him to authorities as a white male in his 40s or 50s, about five-foot-ten and between 170 to 180 pounds. It was also said he walked with a limp and used a cane, possibly having a Romanian accent, too.''

''Holes suggests that bruises on Kite's feet could have been evidence that a torture method caused falaka was conducted – a type of foot-beating that has ties to southeastern Europe. This detail coupled with the Romanian accent and the specific way that Kite was tied up were used by Holes to support this thought – that a Turkish Hezbollah member fled Europe and immigrated to the United States after the disbanding of the group, continuing signature torture practices in the Denver metro area with Al.''
