I live in Belton. The worst part of this case is that EVERYBODY knew he killed Kara. Not one person had any doubt. He confessed, had no alibi, and violated the PPO. He was able to kill 2 women before the Belton Police decided to maybe do something about it. The most heartbreaking part of this story, in my opinion, is that Kara's mom paid her cellphone bill the whole time she was missing in case she would ever call. She never called.

[@richt7525]

I understand the sentiment but in reality it isn't so simple. The fact that there was no physical evidence, and at the time, not even a body- that speaks volumes for the decisions that the Belton law enforcement made. You want to be sure before trying to arrest and convict a person on such an important case. Could they have taken the witnesses' accusations more seriously? Absolutely. Should they have, legally speaking? I'm not so sure. You have people who falsely claim to be responsible for a number of atrocities, and I'm sure, have many more who claim someone they know has claimed that responsibility. No body, no proof- just heresay. I think ppl should give a bit more slack to the police involved is my point. They're playing chess, not checkers, and hindsight is 20/20.

What a slap in the face to Jessica’s family! There’s no way her murder was second degree. He deliberately put her body near Kara’s

[@TheAce12570]

What does where he put the body have to do with it? First degree means a murder was pre-planned. For example, if a killer brought a knife and tape and waited in the dark to ambush their victim. Second degree is for spontaneous crimes. From the information we got from the video, this seems like one of those. He saw an opportunity to feed his sick desires and he took it. I agree that he should have gotten a worse sentence (at least life in prison without the possibility of parole), and personally, I don't understand why second-degree murders have a lesser sentence to begin with, just because someone murders another person on an impulse rather than planning it that doesn't make the victim any less dead, but that's beside the point. From the video, there doesn't seem to be any evidence that he went to the party with the intent to kill Jessica, therefor the murder was second-degree.

@@CLBellamey I agree. I’ve been following this case since Kara went missing. The reason he was charged with manslaughter was most likely because of credibility issues with some of those he confessed to. And although everyone knew he did it since day one, there was no forensic proof. Therefore, the manslaughter charge would be easier to attain than a 2nd or 3rd degree murder, rather get something than nothing. But they also knew they had him dead to rights on Jessica’s death. I’m sure Karas family was filled in on that and had some say. Prosecutors usually do get input from a victim’s family.

He killed one of my closest girl friends' beloved cat while she was living with a guy who was "friends" with Kylr. Even his friend had to admit that Kylr was nuts when they found the dead cat and upon confrontation, Kylr said he did it because he thought it was just hilarious to watch animals die. He was always lighting animals on fire and swinging them around by their tails. He killed helpless animals and started fires for shits and giggles. I have several people that I care about who met him and immediately got goosebumps the second they looked into his dead eyes. Their intuition spoke to them and they are alive because of it. He bragged openly at parties about murdering Kara to so many people, always thinking he was smarter than anyone in the room. I can't believe the genius plan to blame his brother (who committed suicide, and couldn't defend himself) for these murders didn't work. Have fun in your retirement home, Kylr - believe me when I say, no one will miss you. I just wish someone would have sat down with Jessica and warned her or she'd still be alive today. At least the families now have some peace. I do feel bad for his Grandpa, this is a situation where no one comes out a winner. I'm glad I never have to think about him being out there in society ever again. Healing vibes to everyone who was affected by this creep.

Even with skeletal remains (finally, and I followed thiese cases for years), the jury gave him a slap on the wrist for Kara's murder -- 10 years for manslaughter.

[@deniserossiter1059]

Same here. Sounds like my abusive high school boyfriend. He was nuts. Would show up everywhere I went & if I wouldn't leave w/ him immediately, he would threaten to go kill my dog!!! He played football & would quiz me after the games to make sure I watched him the whole time & not off talking to any guys.Then he would just accuse me anyways & knock me around. Thank GOD I got away from him & married a real!!! man.

[@Angelstar7774]

I remember kara from disappeared on ID although it’s so sad what happened I’m relieved her murder was solved, it really affected me at the time esp since it was only a few miles away from where kelsey smith was kidnapped and later murdered in the same year. That high school footage haunted me. RIP Kara and Jessica 🙏🏼💔

His burn story reminds me of this guy who recently slashed his exes tires. He accidentally cut off his finger and Left It At The Scene.

[@MA__]

Oh that's good

[@salliegallegos918]

I always think about people injuring themselves when they “think” they’re going to slash through tires like they’re butter. I envision them stabbing the tire and their hands slipping down the blade. But cutting off a finger in the process! OMG!

Wasn't that the next door neighbor who did that? I don't remeber they mention he was an ex in the report i watched. The home owner found the severed finger in her driveway next to the slashed tyres and trail of blood leading up to the neighbors garage. 😂

Attorney: 'There's not one shred of physical evidence' Everyone: 'Guess he should stop telling people he murdered her if he can't prove it'

[@braetonwilson4296]

Sad part is, if Kylr had been a short fat ugly guy, he would never have been able to hurt and kill so many of his girlfriends and get away with it. Both men and women give far too much importance to looks and not enough to what's on the inside.

[@AstrumVerith]

The defense attorney is just doing her job. It's the best defense he could have gotten. Good defense keeps innocent people out of jail hopefully... But this guy was so obviously guilty that the defense stood no chance.

[@JET7C0]

@@braetonwilson4296 Sure, if he was far less attractive and didn't have the pure narcissism plus lack of social inhibition giving him a confidence many find alluring, he likely wouldn't have dated Kara - that's realistic. However, his looks have nothing to do with the police not investigating his _obvious_ first murder. Any good homicide investigator would've homed right in on the call discrepancy right off the bat, and any good PD wouldn't shrug off _several_ reports of confessions, including a _recorded_ one.

[@garrettg8513]

[@Darkstar-se6wc]

No body, no crime. He could have just been posturing. After all, chicks dig bad boys, right? Seriously though, it’s damned difficult to convict on a murder charge without physical evidence that a murder has actually occurred. An uncorroborated confession isn’t enough.

[@Liitebulb]

Confessions are coerced all the time

[@adamkreuz9068]

These stories are always fascinating but man I can't help thinking about the victims and what they went through. It just eats me up

[@SueMead]

If you're sincere in this, then there are ways to use those emotions to do something positive for victims of violent crime. Whether it be volunteering with a victim support organisation, or pushing for better policing, or I'm sure there's several other approaches, then do it.

So the parents file a restraining order on Kylr, and Kara disappears the next day... then he strangles the next girl, and they're worried about her cats. With 8 people telling the cops of his confession, and the tape recording, I think they could have pressed him harder than they did. If they would have followed up on these calls, Jessica may have been alive today.

@@Mriya2012 Yeah I'm really confused how they got to voluntary manslaughter? Because she dumped his ass? That doesn't justify voluntary manslaughter.
