Waterford, Connecticut authorities are still trying to figure out the baffling murder of a 34-year old father of three children.
On Dec. 21, 2012 at around 8 p.m., Kyle Seidel was on his way to pick up Chinese food from the Lucky Inn Chinese Restaurant on Boston Post Road. He had left his home, where he had been horsing around with his three small children, 8-year-old Samantha, 6-year-old Maya and 2-year-old Jesse, according to his wife, Kate Seidel.
Instead of the Chinese restaurant, Seidel would be found shot to death outside the parking Lot of Waterford's Family Bowl, a local bowling alley. No one including his wife, seems to know why Seidel would have even been at the bowling alley in the first place. It was not a place he went or hung out.
According to Kate Seidel, Kyle had no real enemies and showed no indications that night of going anywhere but the Chinese restaurant.
Kyle's murder put a strain on Kate Seidel and her children. Seidel was a part-time worker and depended on Kyle to be the primary bread winner in the family. Meanwhile, all three children became too scared for their mother to leave the house because of the murder. The Seidel family has had to depend on community fundraisers and the kindness of others.
To make this story even more tragic, Kyle was just days away from celebrating his 35th birthday.
There does not seem to be a lot to go on. Police would not speculate on robbery as a possible motive, but the lead Detective in the case believes the person who committed the murder may have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result. He asked the public to inform the police if they noticed anyone in the area behaving erratically after December 21st, 2012.
Thoughts? This is a baffling case. Kyle goes to get Chinese food and winds up dead in a bowling alley. One possible theory I have is perhaps he was thinking of having a birthday party at the alley, or a party for his kids, or was curious about scoping it out for any reason for potential family get together. Perhaps he kept it secret because he wanted to be a surprise, and that is when he countered his would be robber and killer. Perhaps he was approached with a gun outside the Chinese restaurant or elsewhere, and that's when Kyle or someone else drove to the alley and he was shot. However, that's just one of many scenarios running through my head but who knows what really happened. Hopefully somebody does, and calls in the tip that cracks this case wide open.
