Over at Massachusetts General Hospital, there was confusion. Patty and Billy Campbell arrived at the hospital at around 2 a.m. with the hope of being reunited with their daughter, Krystle. Fifty-two-year old Karen Rand, Krystle’s friend and former colleague, had been brought to Mass General by ambulance hours earlier. The two friends had been standing close to each other when the first bomb exploded behind them. Rand suffered major damage to her left leg. While she was undergoing surgery, a handbag that had accompanied her to the hospital was searched in an attempt to determine her identity. A staff member found a driver’s license in the bag with the name Krystle Campbell. The staffer matched the bag to the patient, whom they now believed was Campbell. When her parents entered the hospital, doctors came over and explained that the artery in Krystle’s left leg had been severed. They could not save the leg, but they managed to repair the artery and save her life.

The news was devastating, but at least their daughter was still alive.

The Campbells were then escorted to an intensive care room to check on their daughter. Billy Campbell looked at the woman lying in bed who was missing her left leg, and his heart nearly stopped.

“That’s not my daughter, that’s Karen!” he shouted. “Where is my daughter?”

The nurses were as shocked as the parents were.

An hour later, a Boston Police detective arrived at Mass General and showed Billy Campbell a photograph of his daughter taken at the medical tent. The father looked at the picture and collapsed.
