   The sleeping subway passenger who was burned to death on a Brooklyn F   
   train had aspirations to be a flight attendant and was known for her   
   “million dollar smile,” according to her high school yearbook biography.   
      
   Debrina Kawam, known to her classmates as “Debbie” or “Deb,” graduated   
   from Passaic Valley Regional HS in Little Falls, New Jersey, in 1985, The   
   New York Times reported.   
      
   Kawam, 57, later fell on hard times: Sources said she was living in New   
   York City homeless shelters from September until Dec. 2.

   Her horrific death shocked the city — and the nation.   
      
   Illegal Guatemalan immigrant Sebastian Zapeta-Calil is charged with   
   setting her on fire around 7:30 a.m. Dec. 22 on an F train in the   
   Stillwell Avenue-Coney Island station.   
      
   She was asleep on the train when she was set ablaze, video shows.   
      
   Kawam, who was originally from Toms River, said her memories at the public   
   school were participating in freshman and sophomore cheerleading and that   
   her secret ambition was “to party forever.”   
      
   She signed off her biography thanking her parents “for everything.”   
      
   Kawam was one of three students who earned the superlative of “million   
   dollar smile” and “most punk,” according to the outlet.   
      
   Kawam’s body was ID’d through fingerprints more than a week after the   
   horrific tragedy.   
      
   Zapeta-Calil, 33, who was deported in 2018 but sneaked back into the US,   
   was indicted on first- and second-degree murder and one count of arson on   
   Dec. 27.   
      
   He claimed he was too drunk and didn’t remember the attack.   
      
   Zapeta-Calil faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole   
   if he’s convicted on the top count of first-degree murder, Brooklyn   
   District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said.   
      
   “It is the most serious statute in New York state law, and my office is   
   very confident about the evidence in this case and our ability to hold   
   Zapeta accountable for his dastardly deeds,” Gonzalez said.   
      
   Toms River resident Olga Corpion had purchased the house Kawam’s mother   
   once lived in and said she met Debrina shortly after Corpion moved into   
   the neighborhood in May.   
      
   “She said, ‘Hi, my name is Debrina, and I want to go see my mom. My mother   
   lives here. I want to talk to her,’” Corpion told The Post.   
      
   “She looked like she was in her 50s, so right away I assumed she was not   
   well, because she didn’t know her mom had moved.   
      
   “I’m in shock that she was standing right here and then I found out she   
   died so horribly.”

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and   
   eradicated.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
