Kyle Randall Lutes, 24, from Terre Haute, Indiana, was found dead in a wooded area of suburban Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on February 8, 2014. His body was decomposed and the cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound to the head. A gold 2007 Ford Five Hundred belonging to Kyle was recovered with multiple bullet holes.

Investigators traced the car to Jayvon Avery after Avery’s sister, Marisol Castro, was found driving it. She initially said Avery had borrowed the car; Avery told police he had paid Kyle $150 to use the vehicle. Castro later recanted the statements that tied her brother to Kyle’s death, and Avery was not charged with murder. He has faced other charges, including burglary. Kyle’s parents, Bill and Shelly Lutes, have traveled from Indiana to Florida repeatedly to follow proceedings and continue seeking answers.
