The jogger slain while running alone through a Queens park was brutally beaten and raped before she was strangled by her now fugitive killer, police sources said Thursday.
“Her teeth were broken,” a high-ranking police source told the Daily News about Karina Vetrano, 30, the brainy and beautiful victim of the savage Tuesday night attack. “She was black and blue.”
At this point, police believe a stranger was responsible for the rape and homicide, the source told The News. There were still no arrests made in the high-profile crime.
Karina Vetrano broke up with her boyfriend just two days before her death in a desolate stretch of Spring Creek Park, only a short distance from her Howard Beach home.
The high-ranking source said the spurned lover was quickly ruled out as a suspect after providing an alibi. “He thought their relationship was more than casual, but she disagreed,” the source said.
Karina Vetrano was dragged about 15 feet off the unpaved path as she fought desperately for her life with her attacker, police sources said.
Karina’s heartbroken father, Philip Vetrano, returned Thursday morning to the area where he discovered her lifeless body.
Philip Vetrano arrived in a white Mercedes GLK350 at about 8:40 a.m. and spoke with cops investigating the horrific crime. The father has yet to speak publicly after the shocking slaying of his daughter.
