Influencer Karen “Reyna” Dunlap was ready to earn her spot on a new reality show, but her story took a horrific turn.
The social media star, also known as The Nude Queen, apparently traveled from her home in Maryland to Cleveland, Ohio — to try and get a spot on the Zeus Network for their new show Baddies Midwest.
Scarily, though, after she made it to Ohio she went radio silent. It wasn’t until Wednesday that her family finally learned where she went. Her body was found in an abandoned home with little to no clues as to how she died. She was only 30 years old.

According to a spokesperson for the Cleveland Police Department, per local outlet Cleve Scene, cops are theorizing she may have overdosed:
“This incident is believed to be an overdose. Depending on that, we can determine what action we need to take.”
Reyna’s family isn’t convinced, though! Her mom, Karen Jones, spoke to 19 News on Thursday and argued against these claims:
“They suspected that it was an overdose. I said my daughter has never used hard drugs, talk to anybody. I will stake my life that the toxicology is going to come back that she did not have any hard drugs in her system.”
So, if the family doesn’t believe it was drugs, then what happened? That’s exactly what everyone is wondering.
The victim’s mom alleged to the outlet that when Reyna was found, she had on large clothing with her hair and nails done. Her ID and cell phone were also supposedly missing, which just raises more questions. The family said Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner and law officials confirmed there were no obvious signs of trauma.
The influencer’s sister Kira Dunlap has been doing everything she can to get more information regarding her death. In a TikTok video from earlier this month, she pleaded for anyone to come forward with more details:
“Her body was found in Cleveland, Ohio, in an abandoned house on Francis Avenue. Please let us know if you have seen her. I know that there is somebody out there that knows something about her.”

Kira said her sister’s transaction history was in line with where Baddies Midwest was being created. She said the network was “filming in clubs close to the locations where she was purchasing stuff”. She also said Reyna was “following” lots of the cast members to try and snag a spot on the reality show — and she believes someone has to know something:
“I, in my heart, know that somebody was with her when she died and somebody left her … [Don’t let her death] get swept under the rug.”

Heartbreaking…
Since she’s been searching for answers, Kira made a GoFundMe page to “help raise funds” for final expenses, as well as “to hire a Private Investigator to investigate her death”. If you’d like to donate, you can click HERE.
So many questions and so few answers… We can’t imagine the heartache this poor family is going through. We hope they can find answers soon.
R.I.P.
