Hi Everyone, I'm new to Websleuths. I have been following this case since it happened. It is truly tragic and I hope they find this animal soon.
For some reason I just don't believe this was random, I have so many questions that I would love to get answered. Mainly did she run at the same time daily?.
It seems unlikely someone followed her and then waited for her. I think if she had a regular pattern then maybe they knew she would be running her route at that particular time.
They clearly waited to attack until she was deep into her run based on where her body was found matching the location of the high weeds. Apart from DNA they have nothing? seems he thought this out, IMO criminals are sloppy on the first go if its unplanned in the heat of the moment. They almost never think of everything to cover their tracks. I think he would have messed up somewhere. He clearly must have been level headed, no one noticed anyone exiting anywhere which mean he got away calm enough to not draw attention to himself. This person clearly knows the area well.
On another note as it relates to the 2nd interview for Chris Hansen with the friend you posted, did you notice it said she texted at 5:36pm right before she was seen on video. Does this mean that was the last time Karina responded and she was not exting when he rolled up on her?
If so that would mean she was still running when he came up behind her.
I think about her running and how desolate that area looks on the video and commend her for her bravery because it takes a fearless woman to run that path, she clearly lived her life the way we all should be able to and want to. RIP Karina I always says God sees and knows all, justice will be served, one way or another.
Welcome to WS :welcome:
Like you, I had similar questions - seems always the way in these cases; so many things we'd like to know.... here's a list I posted back thread:
: so many little "Colombo-like" details we are missing in this case, such as the above as well as -
>did she normally jog back over the same path she went out on, and if so did attack happen as she ran out, or returned back.
>did she normally text and listen to music at same time.
>did she keep one ear bud out to hear surroundings.
>when she texted did she slow down or stop.
>how fast a jogger/runner was she.
>size of rock used.
>was it determined where the rock was taken from, at the scene of someplace else.
>was there any sign in the weeds of a place where someone was hiding out, such as a small clearing and path to it.
>did she keep her hair up or down (pony tail) when jogging.
>how well was crime scene preserved.
>any foot prints, bike/tire marks.
>what do overview photos show of the area.
>did she break teeth biting assailant.
>no mention of DNA under her finger nails.
>what kind of DNA was found on her - some types of DNA can reveal certain traits.
>how long had she been doing this jog alone for (days, weeks, etc.).
