A Statement from the Family of Karen Kingston

Subsequent request beneath initial statement

The following is a statement we released last night pertaining to my sister Karen Kingston. Additional details beneath the statement.

“We wish to thank everyone who has expressed concern about the health and safety of our daughter, sister, and mother Karen Kingston. Several weeks ago, Karen publicly shared that she was suffering from malaria. For information on the side effects of malaria, please visit CDC.gov. Her behavior strongly indicates Karen needs to be seen immediately by a physician. Her son and mother are safe and sound. They are not missing. Our sole concern is for Karen’s health, safety, and return. The family requests that you stop speculating and politicizing on matters in which you are not fully informed and delete any personal speculation along those lines. With all due respect, you do not know what we know, are not entitled to what we know, and are interfering with our ability to resolve Karen’s immediate medical needs.

Sincerely,

Ron Kuchler

On Behalf of the Kuchler Family

Please note the following 8/12/23 emphasis:

We wish to reemphasize the necessity for people to cease speculating about and politicizing Karen’s recent behavior. Our concern, as is all yours, is for the health and safety of Karen. We have not asked you to stop praying for Karen or expressing concern for Karen. We are extremely appreciative of the outpouring of support for Karen. We are simply requesting an end to the speculation and politicization of Karen’s statements. When we are able to provide an update on Karen’s health and safety we will do so.
