Anyways, lots of different potential leads. I've been following the case more recently, but just heard about it 6 months ago.
The fact that a lot of things weren't going right in her life, not getting along with her step dad, she needing to get a restraining order against the ex bf.
One of Kara's friends used to post here at WS, and she said that Kara was still hanging out with Kylr after the alleged truck incident. I believe the RO was pushed by her parents, IMO.There was also a message from one of her close friends on her myspace page that said she had friends that hated her at times.
This was from PHD correct? This post on Kara's MS was due to the fact that some of Kara's friends were concerned about her skipping class, and hanging out with Kylr, not spending time with her longtime friends. I actually had some conversations with PHD through MS early on in Kara's case. He told me that Kara called him around 10 or 10:30ish the day she went missing. She wanted to skip school for the rest of her day and hang out. He told her that she needed to stay in school. I also, later found some posts by PHD on another forum. He posted there that he believes Kara contacted him a couple weeks after going missing from a new, anonymous MS account. He states that he contacted LE and they were able to trace Kara to a house and knew that she had been there, but was no longer there. He later said he couldn't talk about it anymore because LE asked him not to. I've posted all of this on previous threads for Kara. The other forum no longer has these posts, and PHD deleted much of what he talked about on MS about Kara, including my conversations with him. I may still have access to them if they become important to Kara's case at a later date.
I'm quite surprised nobody had brought up the argument she had with the teacher just before she left school.
It was only released within the last two months that Kara had an argument with a teacher that morning. Previously, it was only reported that she'd had an argument with SOMEONE.In 4 years of high school, I only remember one occurrence where someone had an argument with a teacher and stormed out of the class, but that obviously raised a red flag and seemed out of the ordinary. I would hate to think of it, but maybe she took her own life and she just had enough, hopefully not. The relationship with her step dad could've been even worse than imagined and she did not want to leave any traces of where she had been, which would've been the main reason she left her cell, debit card, cigarettes etc. behind. Basically, she didn't want to be found by anyone, hooked up with another person via internet? and possibly just left town.
There was also a sighting of her a couple of weeks after she disappeared, apparently a bit south on a major roadway.
I don't believe this sighting was ever 100% verified. But there is a POI sketch of the male seen with the person believed to be Kara. I think the sketch can still be found at www.findkarakopetsky.comThere was mention by her family and a few friends, where she mentioned that she wanted to run away to Mexico. Not sure if there was any truth to that alleged rumor.
Bottom line, she is 18, and can't force her to come home even if they had wanted her to, so maybe LE isn't pushing the issue too much. The other reason could be that there is strong suspicion that she has run away. I couldn't imagine they would put too much effort knowing that.
True, that LE may not be actively pursuing Kara's case because she is an adult and can not be forced to come home. However, it is my opinion that this is all the more reason to worry. Kara can simply notify authorities and have her identity confirmed and state that she has no intention of returning home, case closed and nobody continues looking for her. If she truly ran away and doesn't want to be found, that would be the best course of action for her.
Also, noticed the ex bf has an open myspace profile, so can't imagine he would be involved. Someone in an earlier thread mentioned there was a news story where police did say the ex bf passed a LD test.
Actually, I have never seen ANYWHERE that LE have confirmed that Kylr took and passed a LDT. Only a news article (no longer available) in which Kylr himself states that he passed a LDT. A teen at that age, on average, is not able to pull off a sophisticated crime, they most likely would've nabbed him by now.
Concerning this MS page. There were posts on this page soon after Kara went missing from another girl that Kylr had hooked up with. He obviously had no concern for Kara or where she was. Could be that he knew she had run away and was okay, or could be that he had something to do with her disappearance and truly had no concern for her. Considering that he was obsessive enough with her to essentially kidnap her by not allowing her out of his truck, while he threatened to commit suicide, etc. I personally believe the latter is more viable.
There were issues with the step dad, but Kara didn't phone him at 10:30 when she left school. In other words, he couldn't have known she left school at that point. I'm guessing someone relayed the information to the family that she was missing from school, which was why her dad went looking for her later that afternoon. Very possible.
It's kind of hard to separate fact from fiction, in this case, just so much information circulating the internet. Unfortunately, you'll never know when you'll encounter a poster that may know something that purposely is sending out information to throw the web community investigation off track.
