Chaos Divers and Elgin police located Karen’s car in March 2025. [1]
Read the documented outcome
Dental records supplied by her family helped the coroner confirm her identity on March 27. [1]
Here’s where you come in
Can you follow the joint search, the family’s records and the coroner’s finding as separate steps?
Compare the dated sources and keep the public contribution separate from the work that confirmed the result. If a source leaves something unanswered, leave that question open.
Keep the exact links, your own notes and questions together in a Research File in Almost Solved. You can return to the record as you find more information.
