Where Is Kara Robinson Now? She Survived a Serial Killer

A cursory glance at Kara Robinson Chamberlain’s Instagram page doesn’t give any insight into Kara’s past. Kara frequently posts motivational reels and inspiring posts. She is dedicated to helping her followers keep moving, even through tough moments in life.

And then you look at her Instagram bio and realize what Kara endured as a teenager. Her bio reads, “Survived a serial killer but that’s not all.”

So where is Kara Robinson now? She’s far more than the girl who survived serial killer Richard Evonitz. Kara’s story is told in the Lifetime film, The Girl Who Escaped: The Kara Robinson Story.

Here’s everything we know about how Kara Robinson is doing now.

CW: The following section contains mentions of real-life violence and sexual assault.

Kara Robinson is now a dedicated advocate for victims of sexual assault. When she was only 15 years old, Kara was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by Richard Evonitz.

Kara recounted to People how her will to survive ultimately saved her life, explaining, “My survival mechanism said, ‘All right, let’s gather as much information as we can…Fear barely even kicked in … the human will to survive and the survival mechanism really just can’t be underestimated.”

She managed to escape Evonitz’s apartment. Thanks to Kara’s attention to detail, she was able to lead local authorities straight to Evonitz, who took his own life.

Because Kara was able to lead authorities to Evonitz’s apartment, they discovered evidence that Evonitz had murdered 3 other missing women – Sofia Silva, Kati Lisk and Kristin Lisk. Although Kara received $150,000 in reward money for bringing Evonitz to justice, she said the most rewarding thing was meeting the families of the Lisk sisters and Sofia.

Kara said, “[Meeting the families of Evonitz’s victims] was one of the most important things that’s ever happened to me….Because I felt like, ‘Wow, I’m actually giving these families something that they never would’ve gotten without me.’ Just the closure of knowing that the person responsible for their daughters’ death is no longer here.”

She’d go on to work as a school resource officer. Kara left this position after having two children with her husband, Joe Chamberlain.
