It is odd/frustrating to me that they make a point of mentioning that the cousin described the clothes Karen was wearing, but I can't find any information about what those close actually were.

Yes, I agree....strange this info is withhold. Maybe they already have a hunch that Jane Doe found with the brown kind of bowling shoes and a lavender trousers are hers and they want to quietly investigate it further.

Still not made it into Namus. Huhhhhh....did I miss something?
