Karen Louise Finch Higgins was 25 when she was murdered on June 21, 1987, in Sacramento, California. Her killing is one of the cases attributed to the I-5 Strangler, a serial offender later identified as Roger Reece Kibbe. Reports say Kibbe targeted victims along California freeways, abducting and restraining them with parachute rigging cord, silencing them with duct tape, cutting clothing with scissors that belonged to his mother, and strangling them.

Karen left behind a two-year-old daughter. Kibbe’s criminal activity is described as spanning from 1977 to 1987. He was arrested in 1987 after an assault and battery incident in which he attempted to handcuff a woman; that arrest prompted investigators to link him to other crimes. Kibbe was later convicted of multiple counts of first-degree murder and received life sentences.

Does anyone have information about Karen’s life or the daughter she left behind that could add to the record?
