A witness saw a station wagon car parked behind karen's car in the street on beach ave. Facing south. This car left the area quickly, south on beach ave. After the shot was fired. It was determined that karen did not know anyone living in the area where she stopped her car. It is not known why karen drove east into lakewood after leaving rocky river, instead of west towards her home in lorain, oh. The investigation stalled after several months. Several persons of interest were interviewed, but no solid suspects were developed.Agency
