Hi, crime junkies. Brit and I are off this week, but I am not going to leave you hanging.

I wanted to bring you a case that is easily in my top five for keeping me up at night.

I mean, not since we talked about Israel Keys, has a predator unnerved me so much, and this guy still isn't caught. At least not yet. I did two episodes on this case for the

deck. And when I covered it, I know there was some DNA stuff happening. And that might mean that

a solve is to come in the near future. If and when that happens, all anyone's going to be talking

about is this case. So I want to make sure you're

in the know ASAP. And more importantly, I want this story to get as far and wide as possible because

a crime junkie out there might have the one tiny piece of information that law enforcement is

waiting for. So check out this episode of the deck. And reminder, I put out

new episodes of the deck every Wednesday wherever you listen to podcasts. And the deck is now

included in the crime junkie fan club app where you can listen to all of our episodes ad free.

And by the way, the deck isn't even the only show we've added. If you haven't been there in a while, you can now find multiple shows from our network, like Dark Down East, Counter Clock, and More. Now, there is so much to today's case that I actually had to separate it into two parts, like I was saying. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you the first part right here, and then you can listen to part two right now by searching the deck in any podcast player.

Or you can listen ad-free to part two in the crime junkie fan club.

I'm going to have a link to that in our show notes.

But this is the story of Oki Al Kite.

Our conversation. is the story of Oki Al Kite. Our card this week is Oki Al Kite, the Nine of Hearts from Colorado.

There are certain cases that I obsess over, the ones that dig their way under my skin and keep me up at night or just pop into my

head in the middle of the day unannounced banging on my conscious demanding answers.

And the 2004 case of Al-Qaeda is one of those. This case is the definition of a mystery.

And for over 18 years, investigators have looked at this case from every angle

trying to track down an elusive killer, but they have been stumped at every turn. However,

technology is changing, and investigators hope that that means their luck is changing too. I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck. It was mid-morning on Monday.
