K. Boeman

Kathy Boeman was a liberal-feminist activist, vegan activist and self-proclaimed Internet expert from Illinois. She started the first Usenet forum about "empowering women" in late 1992. The forum has garnered controversy in later years. It was shut down in 1995 for spam and abuse. In January 1996, Kathy decided to march in the streets of Chicago and beat down a 15-year old anti-vegan protester with a baseball bat and cut his throat with a broken beer bottle. She was subsequently sentenced to twelve years imprisonment, and was controversially released after two years behind bars. This led to protests against the government. Example being the Gold March of 1998, in Washington. As a result, Kathy had her telephone, wallet, shirt and glasses stolen by unknown "teenagers" when walking her dog one day in the park. Kathy was a few weeks later brutally stabbed to death outside her apartment in Manhattan, New York. According to sources, she received fifteen stab wounds to back and chest, and a huge scar in the face. Kathy died at the scene when police pulled up. The culprit has never been found.

Personal
Boeman probably suffered from severe depression, bipolar disorder and mild autism. In 2001, a psychiatrist, unnamed, claimed that Kathy was worried that something was about to happen. The psychiatrist also said that Kathy had nervous tics and repetitive behavior while speaking to him. Many forums have discussed the topic, and it became a big talking point after news headlines started appearing, concerning Kathy, around 2002-2003.
