      There isn't justice for her. How can there be? She was murdered.
      Our justice system isn't designed to bring justice to the victim. It is designed to make it extremely difficult for the State to convict a person of a crime. That is why Due Process is so very fundamental to people accused of crimes.

      @donaldduncan7095 That is an excellent observation that a decedent with any type of body dysmorphia would likely be clothed.
      One thing re: an individuals state of dress when they make their attempt. There are a whole lot of situational factors that come into play.
      Religiosity and/or the desire to not "leave a mess" can influence a person's decision to be clothed or not.
      Without writing an entire thesis here, if a person enters water, unclothed, in public, acting fast is of necessity. Generally, those individuals will put enough space between themselves and anyone else in the vicinity.
      I should probably clarify that due to my proximity to several large bodies of water and an international set of waterfalls (cough Niagara cough), this type is far more common than, say, in the Midwest.
      But yes, regarding religiosity, some people equate the event to either baptism, being made clean by water, or birth/rebirth because they are going out of the world the way they came in. (Hopefully, that makes sense. I'm about to fall asleep.)
      Oh! I was also completely unfamiliar with this case.

Breaking that is by applying a very good amount of force. I imagine it was someone who had good reason to get rid of her and her erratic behaviour. Like a career minded ex-boyfriend... perhaps 🤷‍♂️

    I’m a medical professional. Scott, you did REALLY well with your pronunciation of medical terminology. The hyoid bone can only be broken (as a rule of thumb) by manual strangulation. Even a ligature wouldn’t break it. The ligature would have to be really strong at depth and thick to cause such a trauma. It would need to be broken by such a depth not created by anything other than a humans hands. Think Shannon Watts, her hyoid bone was broken so badly by C Watts xxx
    The fact that she was in advanced stages of decomposition could also point to (just a theory) someone placing her on the couch days after her death, however if any liquification, skin and other body fluids were found inside the couch hints that she probably died there. Hope this helps a little ❤❤❤

    Well, someone strangled her, and covered her mouth. You can deduce this from the autopsy findings. The damage to her mouth, and the hyoid bone. Did the autopsy findings say she had petechiae? It’s the blood vessels breaking from pressure around the eye. This too is a good indicator of strangulation. Someone definitely wanted her dead, and I can’t imagine how frightened she must have been. Terrible. Poor girl.

      There was some mention of the sclera, the whites of the eye. But I don’t recall the word petechiae.

    This sadly reminds me of Karen Carpenter in the sense that they were both named Karen (Karyn) and they both had mothers who pushed them into loosing weight because they thought their daughters were fat. Sad and tragic the way it affected them in life.

      My 14 year old daughter danced with the Oregon Ballet Theatre for years. A new teacher from Cuba was hired. She would duct tape girls mouths shut so they couldn't eat or drink water. She kept telling my 6' 110 lb daughter she was too fat, then made her get on her knees to apologize for some minor incident. I had no idea this was happening. I finally convinced my daughter to tell me what was going on. I was LIVID and marched into the ballet class and said if they didn't talk to me now...I'd call the police and report child abuse now. They got rid of that HORRIBLE WOMAN TEACHER...things changed and she was in ballet for many years. On her way out I stopped her and told that disgusting teacher that my daughter gets on her knees to God only...never to people like her.

      ​@@elenavonpavel-pitts3442Not sure what became of my reply, but I think It know the identity of the teacher from Cuba. Won't reveal it for liability reasons, but if they're one in the same, this woman ran studios in Tampa, Florida.
      Per one student, her second studio had no A C. In the middle of Florida?! What?!
      Her students were lean, and she was associated with remarks like "Fat people don't look good in tutus." I gave up ballet, even bar stretches, and am now a happy practitioner of Qi Gong meditation.

    In his book on the JFK assassination titled 'Crossfire', author Jim Marrs listed the unexplained (or not fully explained) deaths of people related to the JFK assassination. Karen Kupcinet was one of them. Although I don't think Marrs conclusively pinned the deaths on JFK assassination conclusively - some hearsay. But that being said the amount of people who died (naturally or otherwise) related to the JFK assassination in a span of a decade or more is noteworthy.

    I saw Irv Kupcinet about a year or two before he passed...early 2000s. Coincidentally about the time I started following the old FindADeath site, lol! I was walking on State St. in downtown Chicago and he was being pushed by an assistant in a wheelchair down the sidewalk. He was dressed nicely in a sport coat and had those big tinted glasses..really unmistakable, but he looked pretty unwell. I never knew the full story about what happened to Karyn...just awful and sad. Thanks for sharing her story, Scott.

    RIP Karyn🌹How sad this hasn’t been solved and her family never got Justice. In today’s strangulation cases there is a way to get fingerprints & skin cells for dna testing on the surface of the decedents throat in certain cases. It’s a shame with todays forensics this case might have been solved. Thank you Scott,I do remember that someone had said the president was shot a day before he was , I just never knew the whole story.

    Penn Jones, in his 1967 book Forgive My Grief, Volume 2 (p. 20-21), implied that the woman who made the call may have been actress Karyn Kupcinet, daughter of Irv Kupcinet, a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Irv was allegedly an acquaintance of Jack Ruby. Miss Kupcinet was murdered days after the JFK assassination. Jones wrote:
    A few days before the assassination, Karyn Kupcinet, 23, was trying to place a long distance telephone call from the Los Angeles area. According to reports, the long distance operator heard Miss Kupcinet scream into the telephone that President Kennedy was going to be killed.
    Two days after the assassination, Miss Kupcinet was found murdered in her apartment. The case has never been solved.
    Yet another of those many strange coincidences: Irv Kupcinet and Jack Ruby grew up and were acquainted with each other in the same neighborhood in Chicago.
    Jones compared the story of Kupcinet above to the Oxnard call and referred to it as “approximately the same story as we have on Miss Kupcinet.”
    The author, however, did not provide a source for his claim regarding Karyn Kupcinet making a call about the assassination of President Kennedy. Additionally, the details provided - while on the surface are similar to the Oxnard call - also conflict in some aspects. Jones stated that Kupcinet made her call “a few days” before the assassination, while the Oxnard call took place only minutes beforehand. The author also wrote that Miss Kupcinet was heard screaming into the phone, while the operators in Oxnard said that the woman on the line was whispering. Finally, Kupcinet was not found “two days later” but nearly a week after JFK’s assassination.
    In 1992, Irv Kupcinet blasted the association of his daughter’s death with the JFK assassination, calling it an “outrage” and writing that the book, “…left the impression that some on the list may have been killed to silence them because of knowledge of the assassination. Nothing could be further from the truth in my daughter’s case.”
    In Glamour Jungle, writer James Ellroy noted that Kupcinet had gone to Palm Springs the night of the assassination with three others, and stayed there for two days - without mentioning prior knowledge of JFK’s assassination.
    Some critics have posed the question why Irv Kupcinet himself was not silenced, since he would have been the person to relay this information to his daughter.
    2013 Story
    Scripps Howard News Service revisited the mysterious call on the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s death. The story noted that before the Dallas trip, other Kennedy events had been canceled due to death threats.
    Conclusion
    The FBI confirmed that a woman from Oxnard, California told telephone operators minutes before the assassination of John F. Kennedy that, “The President is going to be killed.” The woman’s mental state was questioned, and the call was deemed untraceable. Despite this, the call has been the subject of fascination and conspiracy theories for decades.
    Were these simply the ramblings of a disturbed person, or a warning from someone who was privy to inside information? Over 50 years later, it is doubtful this mystery will ever be solved.
