Description

This week on Serialously with Annie Elise, tune into the notorious case of Boston police officer John O’Keefe, who was found lifeless in the snow outside a quiet suburban home. His girlfriend, Karen Read, became the immediate suspect—accused of running him over with her SUV and leaving him to die in a blizzard. As the case unfolded, whispers of a cover-up, corrupt investigators, and missing evidence began to surface. Karen claimed she was being framed, while others insisted she was hiding the truth. A lead investigator was later fired, texts were uncovered, and the cracks in the prosecution’s case grew deeper. Now, as her highly anticipated retrial begins in 2025, the stakes are even higher and the mystery more twisted. Was Karen a killer in plain sight—or the fall girl for something she didn’t do? 🔎Join Our True Crime Club & Get Exclusive Content & Perks 🔎 Join The Club: https://www.patreon.com/annieelise 🎧 Need More to Binge?

Can we talk about all of these cops getting smashed and then driving in a snow storm? This is insane.

As a Massachusetts resident, I’m SO glad the police corruption is being brought to light.

The fact that people can completely ignore all the insane shit the cops did after this to get rid of evidence, is mind boggling.

I just don’t know. The weirdest part is if one of their fellow cops was killed, you’d think they would do more than a half ass job investigating. That seems really suspicious.

Whether she's guilty or not, every citizen of Massachusetts should be terrified of their corrupt law enforcement and vindictive prosecutors.

Boston is known for having lots of corruption. I’d have to say I couldn’t convict her because there’s too much reasonable doubt. Everything was botched and mishandled and I’ve had maybe a handful of butt dials in all my years of owning a cellphone, I’m 71. Just on the numerous claims of butt dials in the case I’d have to acquit. It’s an impossible occurrence.

Thanks Annie for going over this from the beginning. I’m one of few people that didn’t know this tale.

Never ask for video from neighbors around them. Had special visits at officers home to go over what to say. These so called people in the house that loved him so much didn’t go to the funeral and they made sure Karen couldn’t she was in jail for the second time

Jennifer's 2am Google search creates enough reasonable doubt for me.

I’m going to solve this case in 15 seconds for everyone. The video showing Karen’s LX when they pulled up to someone’s house. They got down and one woman walked around the back of the vehicle from the passenger side. She passed directly in front of the taillamp. If the lense was broken at that time, then the lady in the video would have been lit up like a Christmas tree with white light. This did not happen, meaning the lense was intact at that time. Thank you very much. I’m surprised no one has noticed that. 🤷🏻‍♂️
