Status: Incarcerated
Evil lives Here is a gripping and
fascinating true crime show. In season 5, episode 7 the story of Karl
Karleson is shown. This happened in the state of New York. ID
Discovery describes this show as: Cindy Best is convinced the death
of Karl Karleson's son Levi was not an accident. Unfortunately, she
has yet to gather evidence to support her claim.
His victim was Levi Karleson, his son and his first wife.
His appeal includes: On November 3, 2008, petitioner obtained a $700,000 life insurance policy on his son Levi, naming himself as sole beneficiary. Levi was petitioner's son by his first wife, Christine, who had died in a fire in California in 1991. Christine's death had been ruled non-accidental, but prior to Levi's murder in 2008, no one had been charged in connection with her death.
Seventeen days after petitioner obtained that policy on Levi's life, he and Levi (who
[378 F.Supp.3d 242]
was married and had two children) went before a notary public, who witnessed Levi sign a handwritten will that purported to leave Levi's entire estate to petitioner in the event of Levi's death. Within hours after Levi signed that will, Levi was killed.
Just prior to Levi's death, he was in petitioner's garage, working on a truck. Levi was underneath the truck, which had been jacked up with a single jack under the front bumper. The front wheels of the truck had been removed. By his own admission at his later plea proceeding in state court, petitioner, knowing that the truck was unstable, jumped into the cab, which caused the truck to fall on Levi's chest.
Levi did not die immediately. Despite knowing that Levi was still alive, but pinned to the ground, petitioner made no attempt to help him, but left the scene. He then went out for several hours with his then-wife, Cindy Karlsen ("Cindy"), who was not present during these events, and who was unaware that any of this had occurred.
