A Body and a Blizzard: The Trials of Karen Read - PART 1

Did Karen Read back her Lexus SUV into her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, and leave him to die in the snow during a Canton, Massachusetts blizzard? Or did something happen inside 34 Fairview Road, followed by a rushed investigation, compromised evidence, and an alleged cover-up that turned the courtroom into a public battleground?In the episode, hosts Adrienne Barker and Joseph Lobosco break down the John O’Keefe death case, the explosive Karen Read murder charges, and the two-trial saga that became a referendum on policing, prosecution, and public trust in the justice system. From the late-night bar crawl at CF McCarthy’s and The Waterfall Bar & Grill, to taillight fragments, voicemails, ‘butt dials,’ and the infamous ‘hos long to die in the cold’ Google search, this episode lays out the evidence and discusses the various theories surrounding the case.As of the release date of this podcast episode, to our knowledge, no individuals (including Karen Read) have been convicted of any crimes directly related to the tragic death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe.
