We have an updated poster for Karina. We have reason to believe she is possibly homeless, living on the street.
Prior to fall 2021, Karina was a high performing professional, who maintained close ties with family and friends. For unknown reasons, she appeared to have suffered a mental crisis of some type in about October 2021. Reports of her behavior from some of the people who interacted with her in NYC suggest to family members that she still may be suffering in this manner.
She was known to have been in New York City (NYC) between December 2021 and at least early June 2022. With the help of a private investigator, we were able to verify the last hotel she was staying in, which was a hotel in the Columbus Circle part of NYC near Central Park.
While Karina literally could be anywhere now, family considers it most likely that she is in one of the areas in or near NYC in which she previously spent time over the past months. It is possible that she may be unhoused at this time, similar to how she was found living on the street when she went missing in the fall of 2021. If she is not in NYC, family considers the next most likely scenario to be that she would return to a location that she knows from her past, and which seems at least relatively safe to her.
When Karina was found the first time she went missing, it was with the help of social media. So please share this post (especially if you know anyone in the NYC area), as the more people who see this, the more likely someone might know someone in an area she might be.
If anyone does see her, please use the contact info in the poster to let us know where. All the better if a picture can be provided, to help us confirm her identity.
Thank you
