Gary Kim was 30 and lived in Long Beach, California when he was found dead in his apartment on May 3, 1999. The death was caused by multiple stab wounds and was treated by investigators as a homicide.

Witnesses reported seeing a suspicious man loitering near the apartment complex that night — described as a male in his late twenties wearing a dark hoodie and jeans — but that person was not identified in the early investigation. Detectives also learned Gary had recently ended a tumultuous relationship; that former partner became a person of interest as detectives examined whether a personal dispute had escalated to violence. Forensic evidence from the scene was re-examined as the investigation continued.

Did anyone in Long Beach at the time know Gary, his former partner, or notice someone matching that description near his building on May 3, 1999?
