Loved by her family, active in her community, and known for her caring spirit, Karli had her whole future ahead of her. But in September 2021, everything changed after a late-night phone call outside a McKeesport, Pennsylvania home. Investigators say Karli had been involved in a secret relationship with Isaac Smith, a man prosecutors claim was living a double life while hiding the pregnancy from people close to him. As detectives uncovered burner phone records, surveillance footage, ballistics evidence, and text messages about a gender reveal party, the case quickly gained national attention. Now years later, the trial has taken another shocking turn after DNA results reportedly revealed Isaac Smith was not the biological father of Karli’s unborn child.
