It’s one of the most polarizing cases in true crime right now. A 16 year veteran of the Boston Police Department, left to die in one of the biggest blizzards in Massachusetts history. Prosecution has charged his girlfriend, 42 year old Karen Read, with his murder, claiming she hit him with her car during a fight and left him to die in the cold. The defense says Read is being framed, set up to take the fall by one of the most powerful families in this Boston suburb- all to protect one of their own.
There are discrepancies in statements, missing camera footage, and deep family ties to everyone from the lead investigator, to the attorney general’s office, to the judge. With every new piece of evidence, a new controversy arises.
In episode one, we will do an introduction to this case, paying attention to the timeline and the immediate discrepancies in statements and court documents. We will look at the theories presented by both sides, along with the evidence that supports and contradicts it. We will dig into what it is about this case that has social media so split, and why each side is so passionate in their beliefs. During this season, we will take a deep dive into the evidence- one controversial piece at a time- analyzing both sides in hopes of discovering the truth, and finally seeing justice for John O’Keefe.
