In this first episode, detectives give you an inside look into their case surrounding the death of David Comparetto. It started as an arson case and quickly turned into a homicide investigation when detectives found Comparetto’s charred remains in the trunk of a car in Lehigh Acres. A timeline of events was established, but the suspect responsible for his murder is still a mystery.
On September 13, 2002, at about 4:27 p.m., the Lee County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call in reference to an unresponsive female at 350 Louise Avenue in Fort Myers, Lee County, Florida. The female was lying on the floor in the rear bedroom, bleeding from a gapping laceration to her neck. The victim also had a coaxial cable wrapped around her neck. The victim was identified as Sheila Joanne Foe, a white female born on October 22, 1956
On August 15, 2013, at approximately 12:26 p.m., a man reported that he had discovered what he believed to be human remains in the area of Leah Court & Meadow Road, Lehigh Acres, Florida. The man was an employee of the Lee County Electric Cooperative (LCEC). Deputies responded and confirmed that the body of a deceased white male lay on the roadway inside Leah Court, an undeveloped cul-de-sac in a wooded area of Lehigh Acres. The decedent had several physical defects consistent with gunshot wounds; one in his head, several in his torso, and one in his right forearm. There was extensive facial damage consistent with animal activity, likely due to the vultures observed on and around the body. A fingerprint scanner identified the decedent as Kyle Byrtus, a white male born on May 17, 1988.
