Some sites provided the cause of death and the obituary for Karen Harris. They said that Karen Harris, one of William Cosden Jr.’s sisters, had passed away following a battle with lung cancer.
Karen, a native of Olympia, Washington, graduated from Olympia High School before going on to Central Washington University and then the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she majored in Curriculum Design & Reading Teaching.
Harris worked for North Thurston Public Schools at Evergreen Elementary School as a reading specialist.
Katherine Devine, 14, of Seattle, King County, Washington, was murdered and raped by legendary American assassin and r*pist William Cosden Jr.
Evil Lives Here, an Investigation Discovery series, aired an episode named “Sisters in Silence” that attracted attention from viewers. Soon after the episode aired, the assassination case attracted more attention.
At the Maryland prison where Katherine Devine was murdered, North Branch Correctional Institution, William Cosden Jr., who is currently serving a life term, was questioned.
He was convicted guilty of r*pe separately from his conviction for assassination, which resulted in a total term of 48 years in jail.
He will spend the remainder of his life in Washington State Prison.
Karen and Susan Cosden, the sisters of William Cosden Jr., were made to keep quiet about the crimes he committed. They suffered lifelong anguish as a result of being aware of their brother’s actions and the pressure to keep quiet.
They had to deal with the effects of their traumatic past as adults, with one of the sisters even nearing death. Despite the difficulties, the sisters band together to discuss the harm done to them and make an effort to make things right.
