Murder suspect
In 1962, Prine met and started dating a twenty-one year old actress, Karyn Kupcinet. When Kupcinet was found dead three days after she was murdered on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1963, the subsequent investigation led the Los Angeles Police Department to name Prine as one of their chief suspects. The coroner determined Kupcinet had been strangled; her nude body was found in her Los Angeles apartment by friends on Sunday, December 1, 1963. When questioned by law enforcement, Prine said he had talked with Kupcinet twice by phone on Wednesday, the day before her murder, in an attempt to patch up an argument they had. Two other men were also named as suspects; both were friends of Prine. Each stated they visited Kupcinet on Wednesday evening, leaving when she went to bed for the night. According to police reports, Prine and Kupcinet had been receiving hand-made, anonymous death threats prior to the murder with the messages created from letters cut out of magazines. The Chicago Tribune later reported that detectives had found Kupcinet's fingerprints on a piece of tape used in one of the letters, leading them to believe Kupcinet was the one sending the threats. Kupcinet's murder was never solved and remains a cold case.
