Kimberlie left her Evans Street home in McKeesport about 9 p.m. on June 30, 1998 to buy hair color at Giant Eagle. She was supposed to meet a friend at the cemetery and then go to the store. Six days later on July 6, 1998 Kimberlie's decomposed body was found on an overgrown hillside in Versailles cemetery, about a block from her McKeesport home.
When Kimberlie was found her blue jeans were below her waist, and her shoes were found about 30 yards from her body near a side entrance to the cemetery.
Despite scores of interviews, Allegheny County Police Detective Lee Yingling said there are no leads in Kimberlie's case.
The police and family believe Kimberlie was murdered, but because Kimberlie's body was so severely decomposed, the Coroner was unable to determine her exact cause of death or whether or not she had been sexual assulted. The police are conducting a homicide investigation, even though the case has never officially been ruled a homicide.
Kimmie loved sunflowers and had planted some just before she was killed, she never got a chance to see them grow. Her mom now plants them for her.

Jean Krim has this to say to the person who hurt her child:
"I want him to see what a beautiful child he destroyed. I want to lay a guilt trip on this guy, I want him to eat, sleep and breathe Kimberlie Krimm."

To those who didnt know Kimmie, the song in the background truely describes the type of person she was. Kimberlie was humble to a fault, and though she excelled in everything she attemped, she was always content to let the spotlight shine on somebody else.
It is this trait, that assures me that she
now lives amoung the angels.
Kimberlie Rose, I Love you and miss
you very much, and I know that when I am called home, you will be at the gate waiting for me.
