Murder of Karen in Gulfport Florida
DaniGran
Karen. I can't remember her last name.
Anyway, there was an article in the St. Petersburg newspaper concerning the
crime, but the newspaper only has articles online dating back to 1986. The
article ran in 1985.
Is anyone familar with this book? I would really like to find more information
out about her, there was not a picture of her in the book. I really hate going
to the library, but will if I can't find any information out anywhere else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are reviews from Amazon.com on the book:
from VSU,Georgia, U.S.A. , May 7, 1999
Personally memorable and a revealing study of justice
The young man, his manner so well described by French, asked me if his
girlfriend, Karen Gregory, who he introduced to me, could sit in on my
class so that she would know more about him and his major, criminal
justice. I still have a vivid visual memory of them and where they sat--
"in the back" so they would not be intrusive, he said. Much later, her
brutal rape and murder shocked me when I read about it in the first
series in the St. Petersburg Times. It took place near where I had
lived, too. And then, later, French did a 7 part series, which this
book is based on, that captured not only the crime, but the slow and
improbable way the case wound through the criminal justice system, so
filled with human error and with human caring. Her artist friend's
portrait of her in the first installment of that series was
extraordinary. There are pictures in the book, but not of her. Since
its publication, whenever I have taught the introductory criminal
justice course at the University of South Florida and elsewhere, I have
required my students to read the book and to write a critique of the
system based on it. What do they think should have been done
differently? What was done right? The students get caught up in the
book, much as have the other reviewers on this page. And I recommend
this book, as I know they would. But it is special to me, it haunts me
as does my memory of Karen and her boyfriend, a decent guy who now has
a Ph.D. in social work. French has now won a Pulitzer Prize for his
coverage of another St. Petersburg murder tragedy; and his latest book
might help you understand something of how the school boy murders at
Colombine happened, though it is not about them. But read Unanswered
Cries, it is real and it is revealing.

Couldn't put it down!! Remarkably written
This book grabs you from the beginning and won't let go! The story is
one of horrific nature and of the great sorrow that Karen Gregory's
family and friends suffered. George Lewis proves that he is a deceitful
liar. He changed his story each and every time he learns that the
police have evidence to prove him wrong. This proves to be his biggest
downfall.

WONDERFUL FOR THE SECOND TIME
I OPENED MY DELIVERY FROM AMAZON.COM AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAD ALREADY
THIS BOOK BUT I DECIDED TO READ IT AGAIN AND IT WAS WODNERFUL. I AM
AMAZED AT HOW THIS BOOK ENDS AND THAT THE KILLER HAS NEVER ADMITTED HE
MURDERED HIS NEIGHBOR. THIS IS A GREAT TRUE CRIME BOOK, IT COVERS
EVERYTHING, BACKGROUND ON ALL CHARACTERS, THE MURDER, THE YEARS AFTER
AND THE TRIAL. AN EXCELLENT EASY TO READ BOOK.

Great Book!!! :)
Based on a true story about the 1984 rape and murder of Karen Gregory.
The warm Florida evening, when she is murdered, people around the
neighborhood hear a scream that came from Karen. Detectives are sifting
throught the evidence that is surrounded by questions: What did the
strangely worded note from a friend mean? Why was the house so orderly,
when it had been the scene of a frenzied struggle? Why were the bloody
footprints on the carpet barefoot? Det. Larry Tosi soon searches for
Karen's killer, but the maniac he was hunting for was....someone he
called a friend.

The boyfriend was certainly lucky he had an airtight alibi.
A great book I would recommend to anyone who is not afraid to believe
that intruders kill as well as family members.

I'm new to this newsgroup and I've noticed a few postings regarding the
MacDonald case. I watched the movie this weekend and would love to know your
views on it. I don't know enough of the case to make a judgement except what I
saw in the movie, which of course was only one view. I would like to know your
views.
Thanks

never seen a picture of her and would love to.
Thanks

Google her name - there was a picture and a short little bio on Karen Gregory. She was born in 1948 and a Graphic Artist.
