Karlene Robins

Edit

Robins, Karlene - Real Estate Agent

Appeared in Kindred in Death (c. June 2060, Sunday - Saturday)

Personal Information[]

Description[]

  • She had a curling mane of glossy black hair.[2]

Personality[]

  • Appearance mattered; she considered herself “young and frost.”[3]
  • She didn’t like to be taken care of; she took care of herself.[4]

Homicide Information[]

  • She was Darrin Pauley’s second victim in Kindred in Death.
  • He brought her a go-cup of coffee and, after she drank it, left the doctored cup on the kitchen counter;[5] it contained Wig.[6]
    • She was dosed approximately six and a half hours prior to death, and with a lesser amount than Deena MacMasters.[6]
  • Her hands were bound behind her back; her ankles tied with bedsheets to the footboard.[7]
  • TOD: 1638 (4:38 p.m.)
  • COD: Manual strangulation
    • She had ligature marks on her ankles, facial bruising, bruising around the neck consistent with manual strangulation; her wrists were bound with a colorful elasticized cord (the cord was used to hang stuff from a child’s crib or stroller to stimulate the eye, or so it could be grabbed and pulled). She was repeatedly raped and sodomized.[8]
    • After he “softened her up” she’d give him the security number; he’d log her out, shut down the cameras, and upload the new virus. He’d talk to her, intimately, about her bitch of a mother; and why Jaynie Robins was responsible for her daughter’s death.[7]
  • He sent her fiancé a very sweet text so she wouldn’t be missed.[9] Anthony said Karlene stayed with Tip last night.[10] Two texts were sent; one at 1410 (2:10 p.m.), another at 1803 (6:03 p.m.).[4]

Interesting Facts[]

  • The SoHo property she was showing had fallen into her lap, just the night before, when the previous buyers broke contract. The commission would be a whopper.[11]
    • Her client, “Drew Pittering,” presented himself as barely twenty-two, as coming from money, and trying to make a name for himself as an artist.[12]
    • To prepare for the showing, she took a scent tube out of her purse and plugged it into the air system of the SoHo loft. To set the tone, she crossed to the living area’s mood screen, and switched it on to a lively, energetic mix of colors and shapes.[13]
  • She was getting married to Tony on Saturday and had an eye for decorating and bargains.[13]
    • Before she hit thirty she intended to have her own business and planned to name it “Urban Views.”[13]
  • Records indicated that she showed the loft, then logged out at twelve-thirty.[14]
  • Her office log listed a contact from Drew Pittering on May 15th.[15]
  • She was less than a week pregnant when she was murdered.[16]
