During the afternoon, Karina went for a jog on a nearby bike path. Tragically, sometime during her run she was attacked and strangled. She may have been sexually assaulted.
Her father informed the police that Karina was missing when she didn't return from her jog. He joined the police in their search of the area. Her body was found later in the day in a marshy area of Howard Beach.
Local residents reported that there are homeless hobos and vagrants living in the area near Karina's jogging route.
If you have any information about this crime, you are urged to call the New York City Tips Line at 1-800-577-TIPS.
Karina's father, Phil, had asked her not to jog alone in this particular area.
