Beaudin’s previous books:
A Child is Missing: A True Story
A Child is Missing: Searching for Justice

Karen's sister Kathy was brutally murdered in 1971. The case was reactivated in 1983 and again in 2004. In 2006, Kathy's remains were exhumed for DNA.

The first book, A Child Is Missing: A True Story, covers the emotional journey coping with the murder of my sister Kathy. It exposes the reality that murder follows a family throughout their entire life. Future events often loop back to the day when a loved one's life was snuffed out by the hands of a murderer. The book is 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. Some of her speaking engagements include Ohio's Homicide Initiative Training Sessions, 10th Annual Missing Persons Conference in North Carolina and Plymouth State University.

The sequel, A Child Is Missing: Searching for Justice 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.

"I didn't always get the information I wanted. The unobtainable brought frustration and disappointment, but the knowledge I acquired was valuable. Embracing the journey as a path of change instead of defeat was critical on getting to the finish line."

Karen's media interviews include Elizabeth Vargas from ABC 20/20, Bob Ward, Crime Reporter from Fox News Boston; Sean MacDonald, Andy Hershberger, and Ray Brewer from WMUR TV. In 2009, Karen and her sisters were influential in establishing New Hampshire's first Cold Case Unit.

During Victims' Rights Week, 2010, the Gloddy family received a certificate of appreciation from Governor John Lynch for their outstanding service on behalf of victims' of crime. In 2012, the Ohio Attorney General recognized Karen for her advocacy in promoting Cold Case Units. Also the Fraternal Order Of Police in Ohio for her valuable contribution to Ohio's law enforcement community and the Ohio Unsolved Homicides Initiative.

Through adversity, Karen's desire is to make a difference. Through her faith, she finds strength. ...more
