## Resource

The tenant who never existed plans the perfect murder The disappearance of an accountant in Aurora, Colorado, uncovered a crime that would take years to explain. A methodical man, with no enemies, was found bound and murdered in his home, while a mysterious tenant who never moved in vanished without a trace. Who was this "Robert Cooper" and what was he really looking for? In this episode, we analyze the meticulous planning behind the murder of Al Kite, a man whose routine and stability were shattered by a stranger. We discover how a simple rental ad became the gateway for a predator who left a trail of phone calls, but no real identity. What behavior pattern does the victim selection and execution of the crime reveal?
