Teenager Found Dead In Snow
KENTUCKY...
The Boone County coroner announced Monday that an autopsy on a 15 year old girl found dead over the weekend revealed no evidence of trauma and was not suspicious after police first thought it might be a homicide. The final ruling will depend on the results of the toxicology studies, but that could take several weeks. The Boone County Sheriff's Department says the remains of Karen Kappelman, a student at Ryle High School, were found Sunday outside The Legends at Steeplechase apartment complex, where she lived. The girl was found at the bottom of the hill, near a sidewalk running alongside the parking lot with a coat on the ground nearby. The teen was partially clothed but authorities declined to elaborate. Investigators were told the girl was possibly with friends Saturday night.
