Shattered Lives: Karen Beaudin: A Child is Missing

Karen Beaudin's sister, Kathy Gloddy, was brutally murdered on November 21, 1971 and her case has never been solved, nor has justice been served.

In 2010 she released her first book, A Child Is Missing: a true story recounting the events of sister Kathy's murder. She has recently released a sequel, A Child Is Missing: searching for justice which was the result of six years of research and interviews. Retired and current investigators spoke freely about the difficulties they faced while working on her sister Kathy’s murder investigation.

The case was reactivated in 1983 and again in 2004. In 2006, Kathy’s remains were exhumed for DNA.

Her books are used in training sessions with law enforcement and victims’ advocates. Karen speaks to law enforcement officers, victims’ advocates, and criminal justice students at universities about their role in a murder investigation.

Karen's latest project is a writing contributor to the anthology series Grief Diaries: Surviving Loss by Homicide
