Kim Kardashian's business manager, Angie Kukawski, was found dead inside a vehicle in her Sherman Oaks home.

The Los Angeles Police Department reported that Kukawski had been reported missing for days before police went to an address in Simi Valley on December 23. On that day, they discovered the business manager's lifeless body inside a car in the aforesaid area.

The official findings added that Kukawski's 49-year-old boyfriend, Jason Barker, was the culprit behind the horrifying homicide. The Simi Valley Police Department and the Los Angeles Department have since arrested and charged him with her murder.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles County inmate intake filing revealed that he was held on a $2 million bond before raising the bail to $3.07 million. He is scheduled to appear before the court on Jan. 12, 2022.

According to police, Barker murdered Kukawski at her Sherman Oaks home before putting her body in the car. He eventually drove it to the Simi Valley and left her there.

A news outlet then confirmed that she was murdered using a knife. His boyfriend also reportedly killed her due to the suspect's desire to cause extreme pain toward her "for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion and for a sadistic purpose."
