Kim Howe was an American animal rights activist and actress. Howe acted in the Elvis Presley film Double Trouble in which she danced with Presley. She appeared in the film Torchlight and was a stunt double in the 1968 film The Love Bug. Howe's stepchildren sued Jenner for wrongful death in May, stating that Jenner drove at an unsafe speed and alleged she was negligent, careless, and reckless. In July 2015, Los Angeles investigators determined that Jenner was inattentive, but "not intoxicated or texting" and would not face felony charges. In August 2015, Los Angeles County Sheriff officials submitted the matter to the Los Angeles District Attorney's office recommending a misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charge based on Jenner's speed of travel which was believed to be unsafe amid existing road conditions.<ref name=KABC/>
