There isn't justice for her. How can there be? She was murdered. Our justice system isn't designed to bring justice to the victim. It is designed to make it extremely difficult for the State to convict a person of a crime. That is why Due Process is so very fundamental to people accused of crimes.

@donaldduncan7095 That is an excellent observation that a decedent with any type of body dysmorphia would likely be clothed. One thing re: an individuals state of dress when they make their attempt. There are a whole lot of situational factors that come into play. Religiosity and/or the desire to not "leave a mess" can influence a person's decision to be clothed or not. Without writing an entire thesis here, if a person enters water, unclothed, in public, acting fast is of necessity. Generally, those individuals will put enough space between themselves and anyone else in the vicinity. I should probably clarify that due to my proximity to several large bodies of water and an international set of waterfalls (cough Niagara cough), this type is far more common than, say, in the Midwest. But yes, regarding religiosity, some people equate the event to either baptism, being made clean by water, or birth/rebirth because they are going out of the world the way they came in. (Hopefully, that makes sense. I'm about to fall asleep.) Oh! I was also completely unfamiliar with this case.
Thank you for the shout-out! I did that research over a decade ago and after watching your excellent narrative, I still remember the details as if it was yesterday. Bravo Scott!
How sad. Poor girl. Somebody got away with murder.

I always wondered what happened to Andy Prine. Thank you for this report. I was 15 at the time and, for some reason, remember her name. What a sad thing that her mother pushed her to be something she wasn't. Maybe, Karen could have had a happy life if she'd been allowed to find her own place in the world.

Wow! Scott, thanks so much for doing a video on Karen Kupcinet. Nobody EVER talks about it! (or Dorothy Killgallon) This was a video I have been hoping you would do for a long time! Is there any more information on the phone call?
Never heard of this performer before. I don't think some of you would be as sympathetic if Andrew Prine sent her hateful mail or hid in her attic. She sounds like a woman with mental health issues who was in an environment she couldn't handle. I wish her eternal peace 🕊️.
I’ve heard of this case before. I’m surprised this is still unsolved. I wonder if she was so lonely on Thanksgiving that she brought a stranger back to her apartment who murdered her. I didn’t hear anything about sexual assault? Her mom ruined her. Very sad story. I hope she found peace.
Not too bad Scott. ..from an ICU nurse. I always love your voice for story telling 👍
Hi Troy and Scott, great team work. This would make a hell of a movie! It has everything 1960 s A Beautiful Woman Drawn to the depths of Obsession and Madnass. The Hollywood Set, Politics, and a tragic demise. With all due respect to Karyn Cookie Kupcinet. Special thanks to Scott Stanton
That was really well done. Andrew Prine had a successful career after that murder. I remember him from "The Virginian" where he seemed to be on that show a lot. I found my neighbor dead after just a day and the stench was pretty overwhelming after just a day and he was running his AC.

Thank you for this video! I worked for YEARS with Karyn's brother, Jerry Kupcinet, when he directed Judge Judy (among many other shows.) Jerry had a prolific career & I never knew this tragic story. He was a wonderful guy & as I'm sure you know, he died in 2019. But his advice, both personal and professional, are embedded in my brain. Same for his jokes and one liners, which are now probably considered NSFW! LOL Thanks again.
So sad with no answers of who or what besides strangulation. The family and friends had no closure hardest death to deal with. Thanks Scott for covering this and bringing the murder back to life,you never know it may un-surface someone’s suppressed memories and solve a cold case even if the murderer is dead now.
She was absolutely beautiful. I think it's horrible that she was emotionally abused.....I certainly would have offered to give her a supportive hug when her feelings were hurt.
Good job, guys! That poor girl. Sounds like she had some mental struggles, and a pretty horrible death. Rest easy, Karyn. I'm sure your parents loved you.
This was very interesting. To be honest, I had never heard of her. However, I learn so much thru you. You always provide excellent coverage on your topics. I always look forward to what you have planned. Happy Monday 😊 Don't ever apologize for trying to pronounce certain words. As you know, I was a medical examiner and there are many times I got tongue tied. You're not alone!
Nobody strangles themself by falling on a coffee table. Had she committed suicide, it would have been more likely by overdosing on pills like Marilyn Monroe. The person who did it was most likely someone she knew. Other than the cigarettes on the floor it doesn't appear that there was a violent struggle. This story is truly a sad one.

So from my understanding of the autopsy report, she was beaten and then strangled to death... breaking the hyoid bone is a guarantied death as well. Breaking that is by applying a very good amount of force. I imagine it was someone who had good reason to get rid of her and her erratic behaviour. Like a career minded ex-boyfriend... perhaps 🤷♂️

My 14 year old daughter danced with the Oregon Ballet Theatre for years. A new teacher from Cuba was hired. She would duct tape girls mouths shut so they couldn't eat or drink water. She kept telling my 6' 110 lb daughter she was too fat, then made her get on her knees to apologize for some minor incident. I had no idea this was happening. I finally convinced my daughter to tell me what was going on. I was LIVID and marched into the ballet class and said if they didn't talk to me now...I'd call the police and report child abuse now. They got rid of that HORRIBLE WOMAN TEACHER...things changed and she was in ballet for many years. On her way out I stopped her and told that disgusting teacher that my daughter gets on her knees to God only...never to people like her.

Wow, what a sad and short life she had. Very interesting story, made all the better by your narration. Thank you for sharing.
I’m a medical professional. Scott, you did REALLY well with your pronunciation of medical terminology. The hyoid bone can only be broken (as a rule of thumb) by manual strangulation. Even a ligature wouldn’t break it. The ligature would have to be really strong at depth and thick to cause such a trauma. It would need to be broken by such a depth not created by anything other than a humans hands. Think Shannon Watts, her hyoid bone was broken so badly by C Watts xxx The fact that she was in advanced stages of decomposition could also point to (just a theory) someone placing her on the couch days after her death, however if any liquification, skin and other body fluids were found inside the couch hints that she probably died there. Hope this helps a little ❤❤❤

Well, someone strangled her, and covered her mouth. You can deduce this from the autopsy findings. The damage to her mouth, and the hyoid bone. Did the autopsy findings say she had petechiae? It’s the blood vessels breaking from pressure around the eye. This too is a good indicator of strangulation. Someone definitely wanted her dead, and I can’t imagine how frightened she must have been.

What a fascinating story. I had never heard it before, and it has a lot of strange aspects. This was a very compelling video -- thanks!
Hey Scott, very interesting video. The Government did a good tying up loose ends with regards to the JFK Murder. I was in 1st grade and remember that day we'll, it was a rainy day in NorCal Bay Area..... Coming up on 60 years, I was 6 & now 66. Happy Holidays to you & yours from me & mine Buddy.
I met Irv Kupcinet in Chicago where I was a policeman. Years later I met actor, Andrew Prine. Kup was convinced Prine murdered his daughter but later changed his mind.
In high school I weighed 138 lbs. I was 5'/4. I felt fat. Of course there was Twiggy, the very thin model. We wore mini skirts. My best friend wore a size 3. I wore size 9-11. I wish I weighed what I weighed back then.
HEIGHT/ WEIGHT FIGURES DON’T MATTER- BODY SHAMING IS ALWAYS WRONG. No need for people to defend themselves with height/weight figures to prove that boding shaming discrimination is wrong. Discriminating against people on account of their bodies is wrong. Period. So sad she had to go through judgement during her life.
Being from Chicago I remember Kup real well but had no idea his daughter had been murdered. Thanks for her story being told here

I have spoken to her friends in Chicago area and visit her at Memorial Park. She was very troubled. Most everyone believes this was suicide
In his book on the JFK assassination titled 'Crossfire', author Jim Marrs listed the unexplained (or not fully explained) deaths of people related to the JFK assassination. Karen Kupcinet was one of them. Although I don't think Marrs conclusively pinned the deaths on JFK assassination conclusively - some hearsay. But that being said the amount of people who died (naturally or otherwise) related to the JFK assassination in a span of a decade or more is noteworthy.

Also, you might want to read the works of James Fetzer on the JFK murder. These sources may help give more perspective to Karyn's death .

Those sources are full of speculation, not facts. Read "Reclaiming History"-by the late Vincent Bugliosi, a very accomplished LA prosecutor...the guy who put Manson away. His 1700 page analysis of the death of JFK answers all questions-if you really want to know. He found 15 pieces of Hard Evidence, and 34 pieces of incriminating evidence, against Oswald. End of story.
Scott, don't know if youll see this but, id love to hear your voice falling asleep, would you consider having a channel like that if they're were enough intrest? You're the best Scott, i adore you and love what you do, you're channel is in my top 3.
Very interesting story! Thanks Scott.
Rest in peace Ms. Kupcinet, I always enjoyed watching your performances and you are not forgotten.
Very interesting story. Thank you Scott
I first learned of this case in the 80s, from a Vegas showgirl who had known Karyn in LA years earlier, and had little good to say about her. She said that Karyn hung around with some very unsavory characters, and it didn't surprise her at all to hear she'd been murdered.
Your pronunciations are great! Not everyone took medical terminology but you break things down logically and thoughtfully.
4:37 Actress Mary Wickes (tall lady here) and Lucille Ball were 2 of the last people to visit Vivian Vance before she died in AUG. 1979 (where were YOU in Aug. 1979?) . They were both weeping on the car ride home as they knew that they would never see her again. This was from Viv's biography book. A must read!

SEARCH on here : Trying to Call Lucille Ball in the Hospital . Go to 25:53 ; Billy West (voice over actor) does the funniest impersonation of OLD Lucy that you will ever hear ! Much better than when Martin Short did her on the Tonight Show. @@DearlyDepartedTours
Another great one. I enjoyed your stories for many years. I can tell you put work into them.
Always great story telling, Scott
Penn Jones, in his 1967 book Forgive My Grief, Volume 2 (p. 20-21), implied that the woman who made the call may have been actress Karyn Kupcinet, daughter of Irv Kupcinet, a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Irv was allegedly an acquaintance of Jack Ruby. Miss Kupcinet was murdered days after the JFK assassination. Jones wrote: A few days before the assassination, Karyn Kupcinet, 23, was trying to place a long distance telephone call from the Los Angeles area. According to reports, the long distance operator heard Miss Kupcinet scream into the telephone that President Kennedy was going to be killed. Two days after the assassination, Miss Kupcinet was found murdered in her apartment. The case has never been solved. Yet another of those many strange coincidences: Irv Kupcinet and Jack Ruby grew up and were acquainted with each other in the same neighborhood in Chicago. Jones compared the story of Kupcinet above to the Oxnard call and referred to it as “approximately the same story as we have on Miss Kupcinet.” The author, however, did not provide a source for his claim regarding Karyn Kupcinet making a call about the assassination of President Kennedy. Additionally, the details provided - while on the surface are similar to the Oxnard call - also conflict in some aspects. Jones stated that Kupcinet made her call “a few days” before the assassination, while the Oxnard call took place only minutes beforehand. The author also wrote that Miss Kupcinet was heard screaming into the phone, while the operators in Oxnard said that the woman on the line was whispering. Finally, Kupcinet was not found “two days later” but nearly a week after JFK’s assassination. In 1992, Irv Kupcinet blasted the association of his daughter’s death with the JFK assassination, calling it an “outrage” and writing that the book, “…left the impression that some on the list may have been killed to silence them because of knowledge of the assassination. Nothing could be further from the truth in my daughter’s case.” In Glamour Jungle, writer James Ellroy noted that Kupcinet had gone to Palm Springs the night of the assassination with three others, and stayed there for two days - without mentioning prior knowledge of JFK’s assassination. Some critics have posed the question why Irv Kupcinet himself was not silenced, since he would have been the person to relay this information to his daughter. 2013 Story Scripps Howard News Service revisited the mysterious call on the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s death. The story noted that before the Dallas trip, other Kennedy events had been canceled due to death threats. Conclusion The FBI confirmed that a woman from Oxnard, California told telephone operators minutes before the assassination of John F. Kennedy that, “The President is going to be killed.” The woman’s mental state was questioned, and the call was deemed untraceable. Despite this, the call has been the subject of fascination and conspiracy theories for decades. Were these simply the ramblings of a disturbed person, or a warning from someone who was privy to inside information? Over 50 years later, it is doubtful this mystery will ever be solved. wafflesatnoon.com/mysterious-kennedy-phone-call/

Interesting info...but there were several people who claimed to have had knowledge of the upcoming shooting of JFK.
Love you're channel you are so sweet and funny. Keep them coming
If it’s slightly warm inside a house with no air-conditioning, the body start to decompose very quickly
Based upon this autopsy report, she had been dead for a few days. Heat will accelerate decomposition and at the same time cold will hinder decomposition. She likely died on that Wednesday, the last day she was seen. If she fought back and most likely people do as long as they are not incapacitated or physically restrained, she could very well have DNA underneath her fingernails. Hands and the head are typically the most well preserved if the body was embalmed. Fingernails due to being made of keratin take a long time to decompose. Likely, as long as she was embalmed well, if her body was exhumed and as long as the fingernails are still in tact, there could easily be DNA underneath those fingernails.
What a sad story. It's like she was dealing with ptsd from the boyfriend's rejection and the termination😔 That's a lot to deal with. However I do believe she was murdered and her death was made to look like a suicide🙄 hence the note. Makes no sense at all. So sad.
I think you have the hang of it. You are working hard to get all of this up on KZread. Thanks!
Mt Elliott and Outer Drive love the work you do. This neighborhood is so quiet and abandoned. I love living here.
Thank you for this episode.
Very interesting, Scott. Thank you for sharing
