Episode 72 Kyle Byrtus
Kyle Byrtus was a gifted athlete with a promising future. But like too many people, he lost his way and got mixed up in drug and battled addiction. His addiction derailed his plans and caused a hurdle in his relationships with his family. His Mom, Lynne, feared that one day she would get a call that her son was dead and that he had overdosed.
Sadly, in August 2013, Lynne got the call she worried about- her 25-year-old son Kyle was dead. But he hadn’t overdosed, he was the victim of a homicide. Kyle was shot and discarded in a south Western Florida field. There was little in the way of evidence or clues in his case due to heavy rain, and decomposition. Despite Kyle’s case being cold, 7 years later, his Mom Lynne is still searching for answers.
