Shortly before Christmas on December 21, 2012, 34-year-old husband and father of three, Kyle Seidel, called in an order at 7:49 p.m. to Lucky Inn Chinese restaurant, located at 40 Boston Post Road, Waterford, Connecticut. He left shortly thereafter to pick it up.

Kyle never arrived at the restaurant.

At 8:19 pm, Kyle was found lying in a pool of blood in the parking lot of Waterford Family Bowl, located at 120 Boston Post Road, a half mile from the Chinese restaurant. He had been shot once in the neck (early reports say chest). His black Ford Focus was still running and the driver’s door was open.

Kyle was taken to Lawrence & Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

According to the Haddams-Killingworth Patch, Gary Picardi, who owns Waterford’s Family Bowl, said the man never entered the bowling alley and the incident was contained in the parking lot. He said he heard nothing from inside the bowling alley and nobody knew about the death until a person left the bowling alley, saw the man and called 9-1-1. Picardi said there have never been any issues in the bowling alley.

Kyle’s wife, Kate, has stated she has no idea why Kyle was in that parking lot. He never went to the Waterford Family Bowl.

Three days after Kyle’s death, the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Over two years later, the case remains unsolved and police have exhausted all leads.

There is a $25,000 reward for any information in this case.
