Our card this week is Kyle Seidel, the Five of Diamonds from Connecticut.

Kyle Seidel should have only been gone for about 20 minutes when he went to pick up Chinese

takeout for his wife and their kids just a few days before Christmas in 2012.

But something happened that night that changed the course of his fate.

Instead of the Chinese restaurant, Kyle was found in the parking lot of a local bowling alley,

shot by a mystery assailant with an even more mysterious motive.

And detectives are hoping that you can help them crack this case.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck.

Music The The It was the Friday night before Christmas in 2012,

and 34-year-old Kyle Seidel was a little late getting home from work.

He'd been to his company holiday party and then stopped off at a dive bar with a friend.

But the minute he walked through the door of his Waterford, Connecticut home at about 7.30 p.m.,

he'd switched into Dadm., greeting his wife Kate and their three young kids and agreeing to go pick up Chinese food for dinner.

Kyle had just gotten his holiday bonus from his job as a laborer building docks at the Essex Island Marina.

It was about $600 added to his paycheck, and he usually handed his checks right over to Kate to pay the bills.

Well, at the party, Kyle's bosses usually also handed out some extra cash for the holidays.

And I don't know exactly how much more Kyle got in cash, but on this

particular night, he held on to at least 40 bucks to pay for takeout from their regular spot,

the lucky inn. Now, this should have been a quick trip. The restaurant was only about 10 minutes away.

So as time started to tick by, Kate started to wonder what was taking him so long.

Now, she pushed aside her concern at first, telling herself maybe the restaurant was just really busy on a Friday night before the holidays.

But then her phone buzzed with the text from her sister sharing news that was spreading fast through the small town.
