JUSTICE FOR KARINA

It's been exactly a year since Karina Vetrano said goodbye to her father Phil and went for a late afternoon jog and never came back.

Karina's last breath was so close to what seemed like home. She clawed at and fought her killer but her family and her neighborhood were not there to help save her. Ideas of total security in the place she grew up were made into a myth by one complete stranger and acres of tall weeds.

In one moment the former safe haven of Howard Beach, Queens, turned dark for all who knew her, and her family began a long year of pain.

On Wednesday, the Howard Beach community tried to lift the pall on the year anniversary by walking Karina's last steps through the neighborhood, then prayed together at a church service.
