Our card this week is Timothy Blair, the five of clubs from Kentucky.

When Timothy's body was found on the side of the road in 2005, investigators launched

into action to find his killer, but their investigation quickly turned cold despite the

discovery of DNA evidence and the cooperation of his family.

17 years later, Timothy's mother persists in her search for justice, even with the investigation

being put on hold, and overshadowed by a whirlwind of rumors that have only led to dead

ends.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck.

On Sunday, May 22nd, 2005, a woman was driving her car through a residential area in the

heart of Louisville, Kentucky.

That's when she saw something lying at the edge of the sidewalk up ahead.

It was around 6 a.m., and so she couldn't immediately tell what it was since it was still

dark out.

But when she got closer, she was shocked to see that it was a fully clothed, limp body,

sprawled out in front of an empty lot on a corner.

Now this woman didn't have a cell phone, so she sped to her friend's house about a block

away and called 911.

When officers arrived, they found a man lying on his back with half his body across the

sidewalk and half extending into a grassy lot.

It was clear right off the bat that he was deceased, having been shot multiple times in

his torso.

But his injuries weren't the only thing that stood out to investigators.
