Minne-Sode #6: Haile Kifer & Nicholas Brady

On this week’s Minnesota based episode, Kenzie shares the story of the murder of Haile Kifer and Nicholas Brady. In 2012 on Thanksgiving in Little Falls, the two cousins decided to break into the home of Byron Smith, a 65-year-old recluse. With a background in the state department, he was trained and always on alert. He began wearing a holster with a gun on himself even at home due to having his home burglarized over a half dozen times in the months leading up to this day. After installing security cameras in his home and on his property, he identified Haile and Nicholas as being repeat offenders to some of the recent burglaries. Having had enough, Byron would go on to set a trap for the teenagers that would end in both of them being shot, at point blank range, inside his home that November day.
