Why didn’t Karen just call someone living at the house where the party was to find out what they knew before driving the streets?

Presumably because she didn't have any of their contact info. She didn't even have Jen's contact info - she had to get her niece to call.

She could have asked Jen for her sisters number. She knew he was dead on the lawn that’s why she never went inside and demanded to know what happened to John.

[@babs3652]

If she and Jen were friends on FB she could have sent her (or someone else) a dm. I'm looking for John. He didn't come home last night. Do you guys know where he is? I think her thoughts were blurry but maybe she knew at the back of her head that something terrible had happened and that she had caused it. Just my thoughts.

People love a juicy conspiracy theory. If Karen hit John there is no conspiracy theory so people are really clinging onto the idea there must be something else going on.

[@notsorryyouretriggered]

It’s so hard to believe because there are no witnesses. None of John’s blood/skin/DNA in the street or on karen’s SUV. No damage other than a slightly cracked right taillight; that is easily explained. Combined with botched methods of evidence collection and 1st responders who ignored an EMS presence in their yard. Karen frankly not having any motive. What makes you think she did it?

[@notsorryyouretriggered]

No witnesses or physical evidence. Why do you think she did it?
