Police dismiss the possibility of a link between the suicides of two Council Bluffs women. The body of a second suspected suicide victim from Council Bluffs has been found in the Missouri River. Thirty-eight-year-old Debra Kirlin’s car was found early Friday morning, still running, doors open, on a bridge. Last Monday, Karen Duncan of Council Bluffs drove into the river, killing herself and her three sons. Police say the two cases are not that similar. A police spokesman says Duncan had been suffering from depression for a long period of time, but in Kirlin’s case, she was simply distressed over an argument she had with a family member Thursday night. Cops say that one argument appears to be the reason she committed suicide.
