On the evening of December 21, 2012, 34-year-old Kyle Seidel left his Waterford, Connecticut home to pick up a Chinese food order for his wife and three young children. He never returned. At about 8:00 p.m. his body was found on the ground outside his vehicle in the parking lot of the Family Bowl bowling alley, having sustained a fatal gunshot wound.

Kyle’s wife and children, then aged 8, 6, and 2, were waiting at home for him. The killing remains unsolved: no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. The Waterford Police Department and the Southeastern Connecticut/New London County Cold Case Unit have continued the investigation, and a significant reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Why was Kyle at the bowling alley that night, and who was responsible for this shooting? Anyone with information is asked to come forward.
